Custom Facton Problem

I can't seem to make my faction use the files set aside for it, the portrait, the cities, etc. Can you guys give me a hand on the matter?

You have to use a graphics program that supports the ".pcx" file format. For example, Microsoft Paint does not, JASC Paint Shop Pro does. There are several others that do.
You have to apply the 256-color SMAC palette before saving your edited file. In order to do that, you need to create a ".pal" file from "palette.pcx" and save it in a convenient place. In the SMAC folder is okay, but a separate works-in-progress folder is better. The steps to take to do that are different in each graphics program.

Excellent, that's done it! THanks!
