How to Add your Own Mascots
Factile allows you to upload your own custom mascots, bringing a personalized and enjoyable element to your games. Here’s how you can customize your mascots for all your Factile games.
On the Customize page, go to the Mascots tab.
You can choose to Drag & Drop your image files or click the Upload button to choose your image files from your device.
Tip: Your mascot image file should either be in JPEG or PNG format and the filename should only contain letters and numbers (no special characters).
A preview of your mascot appears after a successful upload. Note that you can upload multiple image files and you can manage these images on the same page.
Here are the things you can do to customize the mascots you are using:
- Name your mascots. Enter the mascot name just below the image and press Enter to save.
- _Enable/Disable. To manage your mascots, toggle the button to “Enabled” or “Disabled.” Setting a mascot to “Disabled” removes it from the selection options. You can also use the ‘Deactivate All’ button to quickly disable all custom mascots you’ve uploaded. Once a mascot is disabled, it will no longer appear as an option on the Mascots page before starting a game. Setting it back to “Enabled” will restore it to the selection options.
How to Use Standard Mascot Categories
Factile provides various built-in mascots that you can select to represent your teams. In addition to your custom mascots, these built-in options are available when choosing mascots for your team. You can find these in the Customize page under the Mascots section.
But you can also choose to hide some of the standard Factile mascots so they won’t appear as options when selecting mascots before the game. Simply click on the button below the category to deactivate it. The button turns gray when disabled.
