Custom avatars

I thought you meant forum avatars for a second The various portraits/race images are held in 4 .tgas in your Textures folder: Player_Portrait_Button, Player_Portrait_Large, Player_Portrait_Small, Player_Portrait_Window. "Large" is the avatar represented in the pirates screen and in the theme selection and such, so that's probably what you'll need.

In the Window folder, each race has its own picture file that reads the .tgas and splices them up into appropriate portraits: PlayerPhase.playerPictures, PlayerPsi.playerPictures, and PlayerTech.playerPictures. These can be opened with notepad.

It shouldn't be difficult to figure out how it splices up the tgas and separates the portraits. In the tga, each row is the race, and each column is the theme grouping (when you switch themes in-game it always switches all 3, that's it going through the columns).
