Can't add logos to faction editor = Lame

from Elemental Forums

Hi there, picked up Elemental a few weeks ago, regardless of bugs I do enjoy the game, mostly because I see huge potential.

My favorite thing about galactic civ, was the ease in which I could make new race portraits and logos, in the end I added hundreds of race portraits and such and want to do much the same here. It bothers me to no end that I cannot seem to get a custom logo into the faction editor's library without overwriting an existing logo.

If anyone has the trick to do so I would greatly appreciate it!

 

More importantly, I hope version 1.1 fixes this, and the game simply recognizes additional logos named properly in the GFX folder, or the mod folder.

Well you can do it manually (check below) so no big problem here...

Actually the faction editor is lacking in many other aspects and all factions end up being similar, ironically the same conlusion from the devs. Manual editing is required to do interesting races/factions anyways, see the pattern? :P. I'm sure the faction editor will be improved, though ^_^

For the record I include the code to insert new logos (from Corelogos.xml):

<LogoTypes>
 <LogoType InternalName="******">
  <DisplayName>***********</DisplayName>
  <Description>***********</Description>
  <MainLogo>*************.png</MainLogo>
 </LogoType>
</LogoTypes>


Then you edit inside Raceconfig of your faction:
<PreferredLogoType>*******</PreferredLogoType>
