Race Icons for Custom Race

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:38 am

My apologies if this question has already been asked, I've searched vigourously for answers on the web and cannot find one. In CS, I am making a Dwarven race. Everything is fine besides a small detail; I can't find a way to insert an image icon. To clarify, I am talking about the image that appears when you hover over the race name in the journal. The stock races all have this type of image, however, I can't seem to find the file path for those images, or a place in the CS to insert my Dwarven image.

Four Questions
1. Is the image supposed to be in .dds format?
2. What size, in pixels I would guess, should the image be?
3. What is the filepath for race icons?
4. Where could I insert my Dwarven image in the CS such that it appears in the with the race description, similar to how the stock races do?

Check out the section on http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Birthsigns. I'm pretty sure all of the small icons work exactly the same way (race, class, birthsign). Filepaths and filenames have to match the vanilla filepath and naming conventions or they won't work.
