I'm not getting a crash, but it is also not compatible with me. All of the characters are badly skewed. 5c worked fine though with the exception of several cultures (Cornish and west African ones) being "noculture".
[MOD] Better Looking Characters (more realistic and historical)

I don't have the "noculture" issue, but that's because I don't copy over anything from the "common" directory.
I use 5c in my mod and it seems to work fine -- I copied the graphicalculture.txt (?) file across but then re-added the new culture GFX names in cultures.txt manually as I use my own heavily-modified version of that file. I don't use any of the DNA stuff added in the character history files for the same reason.
So just by copying the /interface folder and the /common stuff seems to work fine.

I am going to release 6b later today and add Croatian and Persian gfx, probably won't do much to them maybe minor minor differentiation or just a copy paste implementation... but I want your mod to work properly.
ON ISSUES WITH CK2+
I guess you gotta wait for Wiz to implement it guys. If I were Wiz I'd actually wait a bit more till I release 6b today too.

Looking forward to your Persian improvements. They really need some love.
Well it's more of a "let's add it so it makes cultural cities mod" work kind of update. :laugh: But I will still differentiate them, maybe the results will be better than expected... I'm thinking maybe I can also give them the open vizor helmet Crackd made for Cumans...not sure on that though, it would work for Khwarezm but for whole of Persia ? Not sure... :wacko:
Ok, I've been looking at various medieval persian images, I got a decent idea about this first pass implementation now. I believe even with this alpha stuff they will look good.
The bug is actually pretty major -- in cultures.txt you have a duplicate of the entry for lithuanian culture (so two name lists) in place of what should be the entry for prussian culture. So as of 6a there is essentially no prussian culture.
Now I have a favor to ask if I may; I for one (and others as well I imagine) use a modified version of this for my mod, but it's annoying having to go thru your version of cultures.txt and compare it with mine to see which lines have changed... although on this occasion it's a good job I did or I wouldn't have spotted the above problem.
Anyway, I've compiled this file for you and I wondered if you'd be so good as to include it in your readme.txt file or something and just make sure it's updated with each release of this. It should be very simple as all you'd have to do is change the corresponding line after you've made the relevant change in cultures.txt -- it's just easier for people like me, as I can just glance at the particular culture in that file as opposed to going thru cultures.txt (and mine are in a different order anyway, so it's even more confusing).
I've done them in the same order as in your file, and I think they're all correct. I'd suggest giving Catalan Occitangfx by the way, but it's totally up to you of course.

Errr, are you sure you're using my file? I just opened culture file from 6a folder and see this:
(I'm not copying the entire entries just the beginning so not to clutter post)
lithuanian = {
graphical_culture = nordicgfx
color = { 0.56 0.55 0.2 }
male_names = {
Algirdas Antanas Antavas Aras Arunas Azuolas Budrys Bukantas Butavas Butigeidis Butvydas Daugvilas Daumantas Dausprungas Dravenis Erdenis Erdvilas Gedigaudas
Gediminas Gedivilas Gintaras Gintautas Girdenis Irmantas Jaunutis Jogaila Jovirdas Kantibutas Karijotas Kesgaila Kestutis Korigaila Korybutas
Lasukas Lingvenis Liudas Lubartas Lutuveras Merkelis Mindaugas Minigaila Mantvydas Movkoldas Narimantas Povilas Pukuveras Rimantas
Rimgaila Rimvydas Ringaudas Sarunas Skirgaila Songaila Svarnas Svitrigaila Tarvydas Tovtivilas Traidenis Treniotas Vainius Vaisvilkas Valimantas
Vidmantas Vingoldas Virmantas Visvaldis Vizgirdas Vykintas Vytautas Vytenis Zivinbudas Zygimantas
}
and further down:
prussian = {
graphical_culture = nordicgfx
color = { 0.56 0.55 0.4 }
male_names = {
Alvydas Arelis Auctune Bajoras Beidras Budo Dagonis Ekkelis Galindas_Galindo Gauronas Gerdautas Glande Golding Jauguttis Karatas Klukis Kugis
Milzas Nomedas Prusas Sergonis Ulinniks Ulitis
Prussian culture is most definitely in 6a.
P.S. I can add a file like that yes.

What the hell? Where have I got that from? I've closed the file since and I just re-opened yours and prussian is indeed there. Very strange.
Oh well, sorry about that then. Thanks for adding that little file anyway.

Np, mate hehehe.
I'll also look into adding a separate Catalan culture maybe a basic WIP implementation for 6b.
Implemented Crackd's open visor helm for Persians... thought I'd get away with a fast job hahaha...
Sadly this is the result using Crackd's stuff:
I need to tweak it, edit some stuff, add in another layer, change some stuff on layers etc, hopefully I'll have something working better soon.

It looks... odd. The Persians should look majestic -- lots of bright colors and big turbans.
Just wanted to say that I love the mod and as a modder I know and appreciate all the work you're putting into it.

Yah, most likely will give them golden mail too.
Golden mail would definitely look cool.Yah, most likely will give them golden mail too.
I think the Berbers should have much darker skin too, and maybe be more inclined to wear white or black robes. I guess it depends on whether you want to predominantly represent them as being more akin to Maghrebi Arabs or proper Sub-Saharan Berbers (who weren't Arabs at all) -- I think the latter would be cooler, if only for a bit more variety on the basis that we already have four or five Arab culture groups. This was the period when Arabs and Berbers were beginning to assimilate (during the Almohad and Almoravid empires) so I suppose the distinction would become less obvious over time.
It's up to you of course, but I would definitely love to see that.

If the gods are willing I'm going to add a simplistic alpha implementation of Catalan/Berber differentiated clothing in 6b.
I'd really, really like to add a separate Berber culture group with its own names and graphics, but unfortunately I've not been very lucky when it comes to finding sources for names, and those that I have managed to find (which are few and far between, particularly for this period) are difficult to translate into English. I mean have you ever seen the friggin' Berber alphabet? :laugh: It's definitely cool though, and very unique, though perhaps not entirely accurate for this period.
There's also the issue that really the Berbers would live further south than the current extent of CK II's North Africa (which only has Libyan coastal provinces) but I guess it wouldn't hurt to add Berber culture to the southern part of the de jure kingdom of Mauritania.

If I get an alpha Berber implementation this build it's gonna be very rudimentary... I probably won't though already just doing the Persians is becoming increasingly prolongued.
Helmet looks better now, fixed some issues, you can see redone clothes too.
