Live now: enhanced squad customization features
Fellow Commanders,
Giving in to public demand, Update v1.0.3.2 is now live with enhanced squad customization features, as I completely understand how important this can be for immersion! ;-)
There are two major changes:
-- Click the squad logo to load a custom one.
-- Click a unit portrait in the main squad assembly screen to load a custom one.
-- Click the name of a unit (e.g. Edward Johnson) to edit their first- and family name.
-- Squad names, colors, and unit callsigns were always customizable.
-- You can access these features right after the tutorial mission.
-- Remember that if you have profile customization unlocks (insignia, armor appearance), playing Campaign mode while logged in will enable you to use them in the Campaign!
-- Squad logos must be placed in the "data_user/custom_logos" folder, in .PNG format. Recommended resolution is 192x192 or greater in 1:1 aspect ratio.
-- Unit portraits must be placed in the "data_user/custom_portraits" folder in .TGA format (preferrably 24- or 32-bit). Recommended resolution is at least 115x200 pixels. An aspect ratio of 1.15:2 is used. (Smaller images will be upscaled, larger ones downscaled).
-- Both formats can work with opacity/alpha channels. See the sample images for further reference.
Enjoy and happy hunting!

There are two major changes:
1.) All squad and unit customization features are now also available in Campaign mode:
-- Click the squad logo to load a custom one.
-- Click a unit portrait in the main squad assembly screen to load a custom one.
-- Click the name of a unit (e.g. Edward Johnson) to edit their first- and family name.
-- Squad names, colors, and unit callsigns were always customizable.
-- You can access these features right after the tutorial mission.

2.) You now only have to provide one image of any dimensions and the game will take care of the rest!
-- Squad logos must be placed in the "data_user/custom_logos" folder, in .PNG format. Recommended resolution is 192x192 or greater in 1:1 aspect ratio.
-- Unit portraits must be placed in the "data_user/custom_portraits" folder in .TGA format (preferrably 24- or 32-bit). Recommended resolution is at least 115x200 pixels. An aspect ratio of 1.15:2 is used. (Smaller images will be upscaled, larger ones downscaled).
