shodan custom race problem sorta

from GalCiv2 Forums
ok this is really just a sort of inconvenience but, when i have the map all the way zoomed out all planets appear as icons , but the custom race shodan from the library that i downloaded actually does not, its planets that are colonizied only appear as small images of planets . even at maximum zoom . what causes this and how can i fix it. . only this one race appears this way.

have you checked out, if this is happening when using other custom races ? i.e. other custom race icons

Actually I have about 15 different customraces and the shodan is the only one that this happens to

i have tried it in my game, and it does work as it has to... i did however not changed the .customracexml file (the readme asks to change the path, telling where to find the icon's picture - i assume this is where something went wrong for you - maybe just a typo ? or your username containing blanks...).

If not following this step of the readme, i can load the custom race but have to choose the icon by hand - not a big deal... but then all looked as it shall do...

when i looked at the shodan customrace xml file it lists the logo filemane as shodan_logo3 but in my dark avatar gfx file it lists the shodan logo as shodan_logo8
so i just changed it to shodan_logo8 in the xml file and it works now. so i am not sure whether this is my bad or i downloaded it that way
