Cultures and Portraits Revamp

[cybrxkhan]

So as a little present for y'all, I'll be adding an Ethiopian portrait set in the next version of CPR, which means the CPR folks will get it before the VIET folks.

Anyhow, here's a preview of it:



Basically similar to the existing Berber portrait set except replace Muslim clothes/headgear with Byzantine clothes/headgear.

Features: Ethiopian and Bohemian portrait sets! New steppe look! And more!

New version up, includes a few new portrait sets and some bugfixes. Nothing really planned for 2.0.3 at this point, but we'll see.

Like before, includes compatches for PB, SWMH/PB+SWMH, and CKII+.

Enjoy, as always.

Thinking I like the new steppes portraits even more than the Czechs and Croats excellent work as always cybr.

This mod is awesome! though when using it with Swmh theres a bunch of noculture rulers and noculture counties, the alt clut is one of the noculture places, theres some finns as well, I think theres more places than those but I don't remember.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

If you're using SWMH make sure you also followed the instructions for the compatch (in the compatch folder). I tested CPR with the compatch and it should work fine.

Maybe it's because of me not using pb? (ill download CPR and try the compatch stuff again tomorrow)

Great stuff! Thanks!

How did you make the steppe faces? They look like an amalgamation of Mongolian and European faces.

The SWMH compatch should work regardless of whether you're playing SWMH or PB+SWMH. I think you just installated the compatch wrong, then, if you did try using it.

Great stuff! Thanks!

I didn't actually make most of the faces (or at least the hard part), they're the work of a fellow called Peuri, from his mini-mod, the Little Portrait mod. It's an old mod from before I even started playing CKII, but anyhow, apparently what he did was more or less take the Mongolian faces as a base and replace parts of the faces - mainly the eyes and the nose, I think - with the western equivalents. Of course it appears he edited the western parts he took to blend in more better with the Mongolian ones. Clothing/headgear/hair stuff is still my work based on the older steppe portrait set.

Great cybrxkahn! I just want to thank all your efforts. But, I found that bretons and welshes don't look like breton.gfx even after I changed in celtic.txt file in cultures folder... I'm using PB version of CK2

+ suggestion : Can we have another set of gfx for catholic Andalusian? They are wearing turbans after changed to catholic from islam

Did you apply the PB compatch, and are you using any other mods?

That's not really possible without creating a new culture unfortunately, it's either they have Muslim clothes or not, the way the game engine currently works. There are some roundabout methods but they are 1) outside of CPR's scope and 2) kind of problematic gameplay-wise.

e.

I'm using only PB + C&P revamp and I followed your instruction which is

1. Go to "mod/Cultures and Portraits Revamp/common." There, you'll find a folder called "cultures." Delete that.
2. Copy and paste the "cultures" file from the compatch folder to the one in the main mod.

but in bullet 2, what is 'the main mod' ? it means 'mod/Cultures and Portraits Revamp/common' or vanila CK2?.

That would mean "mod/Cultures and Portraits Revamp/common". It is never good under any circumstances to edit the vanilla CKII files, not to mention they would get overridden by any mod changes anywways.

Hey Cybr.
Just to let you know: CPR 2.2 Andalusians are still in the Ibero-Romance culture group...so they have Christian towns and castles but Muslim temples..

Cheers and thanks for the update...

 

[Cardinal Sin]

OK, Problem Report: CPR does not work with PB+SWMH - a number of portraits are just black or transparent, with no face at all. I have subsituted the correct culture file and activated SWMH, PB, PB+SWMH and CPR, but to no avail

EDIT: OK, it seems like the issue is not with your mod.. somehow, my DLCs do not get loaded when starting the game

Ah, whoops. I'll see whether I can fix that.

Try deleting the culture file outright from CPR (running it without the culture file basically). Won't solve the issue for your DLCS not loading but it would at least allow the portraits to work in game.

Also I do know that for some reason if you have steam but don't launch it from steam, the DLC portraits might get messed up for some reason and the portrait fix may not work.

Can I integrate this?
Yes?
Thank you!

Thank you!

I'd thought you'd never ask.

Sure.

 

[Darkgamma]

I'd thought you'd never ask.

Sure.

Well, in most cultures, it's just polite to do so!
You'll be duly credited :happy:

 

[Cardinal Sin]

Thanks for the suggestion, cybr! The problem is connected with Steam so I will try to get that fixed!
