Unit Card is White

[apieceoftofu]

Hey all im just wondering why my unit card it white. I made a 66 x 88 image in GIMP and saved it as a tga file. Then i put it in the data\ui\units\icons folder. Then i added the image to my_mod.pack. I boot up Empire and my units icon is a white square. I think it has sumthing to do with alpha and stuff. Any help?

Well my unit card is also white but only on the custom battle screen set-up, it actually shows on the UI so check that first.

And your icon should be on a transparent background, no alpha channel.

In fact I think you can have any background colour you want but the vanilla are transparent

ok i actually fixed it in the custom battle setup. I have my 66 x 88 image with no alpha channels or anything and then i also have a 66 x 88 image with a totally black alpha channel. Before i didnt have the second image with the black alpha channel. I would love to check if in my unit card shows up in the actual battles but as of right now my unit causes a CTD everytime i try to play so i cant see if it works in a battle.
