[MOD] Better Looking Characters (more realistic and historical)

[richvh]

Then I don't know, as far as I know 1.07 didn't change anything that Cultural Cities does. Unless... let's see, does that change defines.txt? No, just went through my install of Cultural Cities and I don't see anything conflicting. Might be hardcoded in 1.07, they did a bunch of graphical optimizations for speed improvements. To be honest, I don't pay that much attention to the cities.

 

[Trashed]

Nah, it works. I screwed up somewhere. Nothing conflicts. Thanks for helping tho!

I'm getting Cumans and Penchenegs with Arab/Muslim faces, is that intentional?

 

[richvh]

No, they ought to have western faces with mongol headgear. Do you have the mongol DLC installed/enabled?

Some people are having trouble with the game recongnising the DLC; it's checked in the box but the game doesn't see it (Mongols Faces among them)


Quick question! BLC 8d is still 1.06b compatible, yes? and 8d 2 is for 1.07, but needs the African Characters?

Whoops. Forget what I said - I was running with Balansegang, which I guess isn't compatible? Also, this BLC seems to work fine with 1.07b.

Correct. Even the East Africans use the DLC features, just the old BLC African headgear/clothes.

 

[cinephile]

What are the options for getting this working with 1.07 without DLC? A bit of a shame it went this route.

 

[Jedrek]

So if I have 1.07b and Mongol DLC, but not African one, the mod's compatibile, right?

 

[richvh]

Sorry, BLC 8d2 (the one that's 1.07 compatible) requires African DLC. By terms of service, mods can't directly compete with Paradox DLCs, and having African portraits that don't require the African DLC would do that. My attempts to make it run without needing the African DLC caused CTDs on selecting an African character, and since this really isn't my project, I don't want to spend more time figuring out why.

I'd like to thank richvh for updating this beauty. It's awesome to play this mod with the latest version of CKII. Thanks man!

Seconded!

 

[Sleight of Hand]

I refuse to thank him, and I wish to make this fact known. No offense.

 

[doom44]

Works great! Just one more bug i know of, and that's the Andalusians: They do not have their correct model and appear as the default Bedouin model. Hopefully this isn't very hard to fix.

 

[richvh]

Probably because they're also defined in portraits_mediterranean.gfx, and I guess that overrides portraits.gfx. I'll get a fix up tonight.

 

[richvh]

Due to circumstances beyond my control (an oversized truck taking down my home telephone line), I won't be able to update this until service is restored, probably Thursday.

 

[liamgamer55]

Quite looking forward to a new verison of this being released. This is quite a bit better than any portrait changes made with the latest patch.

 

[Trashed]

And when you combine the first statement together with the second it automatically is offensive. Which you're fully aware off. Seriously, how passive aggressive can one get?

Please do not follow up with a page long rant about the sanctity of someone else's modding. I get it. I disagree. Let's keep it at that.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

:rofl:

Sorry, I was joking. I actually thought that would be obvious. Why else would you refuse to thank someone who's converted a mod to a new patch in his spare time? Sorry -- the futility of sarcasm over the Internet I suppose.

 

[Trashed]

Man, have I been had.
