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

[Gunnarr]

will this mod be updated to work with 1.08?

i cannot play this game without proper orthodox vestments!!!

 

[richvh]

It works without updating. I will be updating, to take advantage of the new headgear_that_hides_hair mechanic (no more going bald because you wore a helmet.)

cool. than i will overwork the chracterhistory-files and will send you the new files ASAP.

 

[richvh]

Thanks, that will take a heap of work off my plate. Probably easiest to find the DNA that Shaytana added to historical figures (mostly important characters alive at bookmarks, I assume) and copy them into a copy of the vanilla character histories.

mostly yes. but a lot of characters get another culture by history and so some names are different and the chars switched to another file. its holy shit to find all doubled entries... :blink:
the first 10 files are completed, the next 25 in progress...

 

[mate0815]

done.

i compared all files from the history-folder with vanillachanges from up to 1.07.
some mod-files are not longer necessary, ´cause of vanillacorrections or no relations to this MOD (egg. easteregg.txt).

the complete content of the mod-history-folder you can find in the zip - no more files are needed.

and now: hurry up with the headgear_that_hides_hair implementation.

Version 8d7 is up.

Patch 1.08 compatible (including the headgear_that_hids_hair parameter, for males only, and character history updates thanks to mate0815)

This mod looks really good except my african and eastern russia rulers seems to have no portrait or one that's really messed up? I'm using the latest update, not using other mods

 

[richvh]

You need the Mongol Faces and African Portraits DLCs. If you've bought them, you may need to go into the online store to make sure they get activated for the latest patch.

Thanks a lot!
I know that it's too much to ask, but when should we expect the Lux Invicta update?

 

[richvh]

I just received Numahr's SELIN update, and I'll be working to integrate it posthaste.

 

[richvh]

Version 8d8 is up, fixing a glitch with martial clothing/headgear.

 

[ThomasCHP]

The Nahua portraits and culture seem to be incompatible with the mod, everything else works fine.

 

[richvh]

I don't know what's wrong with mesoamerican culture, using ruler designer to choose nahua culture works fine in vanilla, but everything I try in BLC (including copying the portrait sprites definitions into BLC) just results in western_gfx being used.

at graphicalculturetype.txt is an entry for mesoamericangfx-group missing. maybe thats one of the probs with that...

 

[richvh]

That might be it.

 

[richvh]

Version 8d9 is up.

Fixed the problem with Nahua characters appearing as Western.

 

[leothor]

Great work as usual richvh!

Alright, I appear to have a real problem with this mod. I'm loading it up (it's the only mod I'm using), along with all the unit packs/faces/Dynasty Shields 1 &2, & the LoR DLCs, but whenever I click on an eastern province in the Cuman character regions, such as Bulgaria, I get an instant CTD...? I have no idea why. I unchecked BLC, loaded the game up with no mods, and the problem was gone.

Any ideas? Why would clicking provinces in far Eastern Europe cause instant CTDs?

take a look at the install of your DLC - some of them where updated by the patch and must be reinstalled after patching. if you are using gamersgate you´ll find the disabled dlc ingame at the store if the BUY-button is not greyed and shows a green "install" instead. its absolute necessary, that the mongol face dlc and the african face dcl are installed correctly.

correct checksums:
vanilla without any MOD: JQDK
with BLC8d9 only: HKCG
