Attached are the character symbols from my personal mod. I will also try and post my character pack later this week.
Here is a screen shot of the images (download link to .zip containing the files is at the bottom - don't hit the attachment is that is just the screen shot)
From the readme...
Tampa_Gamer Character Symbol Mod v1.01
Distant Worlds (Legends) version 1.7.0.12 (but should be compatible backwards through release)
March 3, 2012
========================================================================
INTRODUCTION
========================================================================
Distant Worlds (Legends) adds the concept of RPG-like characters to the game. These characters each have a "card" in the game which contains data regarding the character as well as an image of the character (typically a "head and shoulders" pictures). Superimposed in the lower right corner of the image is a symbol denoting the role of the character (e.g. leader, general, scientist, etc.). Although the written data on the cards also indicate the role, it is a nice to have a graphical indication for quick identification on some of the other susmmary screens. While the default symbols fit the graphics style used for default race images, they do not fit the more realistic pictures of characters that I use in my personal mods. Therefore, I created these alternate symbols.
========================================================================
INSTALLATION/REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
========================================================================
Unfortunately, as of this date the "Theme" modding folders do not permit the overriding of user interfaces elements. Therefore, we are forced to overwrite the default files. I have included the default files in the zip (with the word "original." preceding the name) so that you can quickly restore the originals if desired.
To install, unzip these files to the following directory:
"[Distant Worlds install folder]\images\ui\chrome\..."
To uninstall, first delete the 7 files indicated below under MOD CONFLICT ANALYSIS" and then change the names of the original files by removing the word "original." from those same files listed in that directory.
========================================================================
