custom squad logos & pilot pictures
I've made myself some custom squad logos and pilot pictures, and I figured by searching that the squad logos go in data/players/squads where it works just fine, but I can't find out where the pilot picture is supposed to go. I found one place that said data/multidata but after placing the file there I was unable to find it in-game. I've been unable to locate any posts on the forum that tell me what to do. The file is definatly a 256-colour indexed pcx file, but I was also wondering if tga is supported for either of these purposes? Alpha channels would be super sweet on a squad logo.

Re: custom squad logos & pilot pictures
There should be an "images" folder in your data/players. I think you should put them there.

That was it! Tahnks!

But still, is there a possibility of using tga for either of these purposes?

Re: custom squad logos & pilot pictures
Hmmm... If you're using the SCP, it may well be worth a try, the image loader would be universal, I would think, so if it can be loaded as a texture, ie DDS and TGA files, I assume it should be just fine with loading the same type of image as a Squad or Pilot logo.
