Editing the Race Selection Screen

you have to edit RaceSelectDialog.window

If you have coded before in Sins, it's pretty straight forward, even if you haven't, it's still pretty easy to figure out.  Just follow the logical flow. It's broken up by race sections with subsections on the Rebel/Loyalist factions.  Most of the race specific entries, that aren't pointing toward portrait coordinates (or strings), are usually calling for entity files.  Make sure to keep your numFactionWindows count correct.  Best to use an existing one as a template, and move out from there.  A lot of it is just plugging in your race specific content where it's needed.

NOTE: THIS ONE HAS 5 RACES IN IT.  THE PREVIOUS FACTION BUTTON IS POINTING TO THE LAST RACE BLOCK ON THE LIST (THE REPLICATORS).
