(2.4.1) Italian Faces

[Lucavi]

The Italian are using the default Western Faces. Weren't they supposed to use the "Iberian Faces"?

Ok, so all it had to happen was:
- delete portraits_mediterranean.gfx from the interface folder (fixes greeks)
- delete suffix "ary" from secondary_graphical_culture in altaic that use cuman portraits (fixes cuman units and fixes portraits i think)
- replace occitangfx with southergfx in the italian culture (fixes italians)
Right?

portraits_mediterrean.gfx is a legacy from the LOR patch, and it was meant for the old Med portraits that eventually came with The Republic. Future .gfx files came with the portrait DLCs themselves, and then the .gfx system was changed to use a portrait subfolder. At that point, I think portraits_mediterranean was retired or moved.

So the version that's there now probably got back in by accident, I don't think it's supposed to be there anymore. Portraits_byzantine.gfx inside the portraits subfolder is the correct one.

- delete portraits_mediterranean.gfx from the interface folder (fixes greeks)
- delete suffix "ary" from secondary_graphical_culture in altaic that use cuman portraits (fixes cuman units and fixes portraits i think)
- replace occitangfx with southergfx in the italian culture (fixes italians)
Right?

Precisely!

I hope this is fixed soon because I honestly can't play ck2 with so many ugly vanilla faces.

2 questions;

If you do these things, does it mess with IM games?
If not, is it save competetive?

The checksum stays the same (ZXPB), so I think it's ironman compatible, if I were you I wouldn't risk a losing the save.

Where is secondary_graphical_culture and occitangfx? I can't seem to find it on my own.

In the 00_cultures.txt file.

It is just changes in text in the code, no file movement needed.

I'm having trouble locating the files I need to delete/change to fix the portrait issue, could someone give me the file path?

I lost my IM save applying those fix, so if anyone wonder, it can broke a save. So, do it at your own risk

Has Paradox done an official fix for this issue yet? It's really sad if the only way we can get the Greek portraits to work right is to go into the files ourselves and fix it.

It is supposedly fixed in the 2.4.2 beta patch.

I haven't opted into it so I can't confirm.
