How to add a thumbnail image to your mod!

[Deleted member 471407]

Patch 1.0.1 introduced a fix to the missing thumbnails issue. Here is how you now add an thumbnail to your mod.

- Create your thumbnail, It has to be <1MB in size
- Name the image thumbnail.png
- Place thumbnail.png in your mod folder
- Upload mod

Just out of curiosity, do you not need to add the line picture="thumbnail.png" to your .mod file anymore? I know we used to need it, at least for other Paradox games. I had it already included in mine before the patch and when I re-uploaded my mod today the thumbnail worked fine.

I believe it's hard coded to always look for the thumbnail.png file, so it shouldn't have to be included.
