Hello, I have a problem:
I created a fantasy mod by myself, and because I used more female leaders than BTS has, I decided to use the already existing female leaders more than once. E.G. there are 3 Boudiccas in my mod, each one with a different name. To have some difference between the Boudiccas, I replaced their backgrounds by another one.
For example, one Boudicca's new name is now Koshiwa, and she has the background of Ragnar. If you have a look at the screenshot, you will surely notice my problem...
Can anybody explain to me how to get rid of the "red sky" above Koshiwa's face? I kwno she's a female pirate but she didn't spill so much blood that even the sky gets red...
Please write an easy explanation, with correct syntax and as few abbreviations as possible. English is not my native language.

You'll probably get more and better results if you post this in the Mod Forum.
 
When you mix backgrounds and LH like this, you have to move the background rectangle. Probably you used nifskope to edit the nif. In nifskope, select the background rectangle (the rectangle upon which the background texture is drawn) and view its properties. You can see the x,y,z coordinates. Type in a new Y coordinate which is slightly more positive (if it was -4, try -2; if it was 4, try 6, etc). You should see the picture move upwards. If it seems up far enough, save and then view it again in civ. Sometimes you may have to adjust more than once.

I am sure there must be a more elegant way, but that worked for me.
 
I only changed the paths in Art_defines_unit.xml, not more. But on your advice I downloaded nifskope and changed the y coordinates. It seems to work. I hope so, because I have no experience in working with .nif- and .kfm-files at all. But thanks very much for your advice!
