Well, you can find them with  a little grass around them, all alone if you get lucky. Or you could take a screenshot.
they look great though. Google 'Galactic Empire command center SWGB" and you'll find one.

I sent you a message with eight buildings that would make great bases. Save you some time.

:) Cool. Again, they came from Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.
I'm surprised nobody has used them for a faction before me... Just out of curiosity, how many people do you think use those packs anyway? Most I've seen have their own base graphics
1 - Like, nobody
5 - Meh, you find a few every now and then
10 - Most of them

No idea.  There are thousands and thousands of fans out there, and when you cast graphics goodies to the wind like I do, most of them never thank you or talk to you at all, but the work turns up here and there.  I meet a lot of SMACX art modders and faction creators who found my customs factions page years ago.

[shrugs]  I'm not doing it for the applause, but to know I done a good thing, which I did and I do.

Well, uh, thanks for the Bases8 graphic? I used that for my test fac, the main focus of this thread, Followers of Ron.
I actually have used 2 of the graphics I sent you. So umm, thanks?

You're welcome.

You know, my custom faction page actually got me bad-mouthed on 4Chan. :D

...How does that work? You put it in a package for people to use easier...

Actually, it was more praise.  Someone found my page and said of the factions, quoting as well as I can quote from memory: "A lot of them are herp-derp or stupid, but there a lot of good stuff there."  Human nature being what it is, the herp-derp or stupid part struck me harder than the praise.

I notice you've been skipping the scanlines.  http://alphacentauri2.info/My%20Custom%20Factions/Custom%20FactionsPage2.htm#Scanlines%20in%20GIMP%20made%20simple,%20fast%20&%20easy

Scanlines? Are those for leader portraits?

Uh-huh. ;nod  Also logos.

It's not strictly necessary, but little touches like that make your factions fit in better with the official ones (and other peoples' custom factions), and thus are more useful to others and likely to be popular.  It's also a thing other modders notice and tend to take as a sign of quality work. ;nod

I just read your tutorial, and made my bigger Reagan portrait have scanlines...
I have to say, I NEVER would have thought to just make a lower contrast image and delete every other row-genius!
After careful examination, I noticed the scanlines for the Believers. Your right, it does look alot better now.

;b; indeed.
I suppose with that I'm done with this thread. If I see any more posts, I'll probably read them.
But the faction is done.

This being the first thread I made, I'd like to say that you've won yourself a dedicated member.
