Hi Parker,
1. You have a Bill Simon picture in another format? If you can open that format in Paint, you should then be able to Save As, then select 24-bit Bitmap as the type.
2. For candidate pictures, 75 (width) x 87 (height). For party pictures, 101×101.

I have some questions,1.How do I change my Bill Simon picture to Bitmap with windows paint?2.What do the pixels/and dimensions have to be?And last of all,this is a suggestion,the next version you come out with,let the players be able to modify General Election percentages.

Hi Dave,
Can you be a little more specific? To edit candidates, hit the CanEditor button in President Forever 2008 + Primaries. Then, click File > Open, and select the scenario. Once it has loaded, click the + sign next to the scenario name, or double click on the scenario name. Continue doing this until you can click on a specific candidate’s name.

Hi Mike,

The reason is that you are editing the amount for the primaries start, not the general election. That number is the party amount, and can be set by opening the parties.xml file in the scenario folder, and editing the party amount. (Note: we recommend backing up your scenario before doing this.) Alternately, you can use Campaigns Forever to edit this and everything else in the scenario ( http://theoryspark.com/campaigns4e/info/index.htm ).
