Help with modding pls :)

Hi, first time modding this game, so after searching online I couldn't find these two questions.

I am replacing the race Portraits, so there is a default (race_0) and then alternate image(race_0a).

By default, the Characters screen uses the default image, and I would like to change it so that it would use the alternate.

I would like to change the race Portrait used in the Galactopedia, but I can't figure out how, it still uses the original portrait even though it's replaced in the rest of the game.

Thank you in advance!

Hello

You have to edit the help file with an html editor. I used to use internet explorer I believe but I'm sure there's better options. It's been many years since I've edited something but I hope I helped.

Thanks, I'll try, though I have never done anything like it. What about the alternate portrait?

if I remember, the alternate race images (1a, 2a etc...) are used in the diplomacy screen only and are optional.

The race pictures don't have a background so relevant backgrounds can be displayed depending where a character is (planet, space etc...)

Also the game comes with a modding handbook which is very informative.

Oh ok, I really wanted to use the alternate ones in the characters screen, but I'll figure it out. Btw, I tried to alter the html files and .... I have no idea what I'm doing. I'll find out how in the future.
