Is it possible for you to change the download link? The website is asking for a decryption key.

Do we have to do anything special to integrate this with HIP or just extract the mod folder? The regular Better Looking Garbs religious clothing being drawn halfway across the character is getting on my nerves.

 

[Nendur]

You should move the appropriate common directory from the culture patches to the BLG directory.

Just a suggestion: you may want to include a readme in the file because there's also Culturally Different Province Icons folder that has no instructions on what to do with it.

After adding this it seems that whenever a character is wearing a hood it gets slightly offplaced, as in the following image. Is anyone else getting this? (I'm using this with HIP modules.)

I haven't seen that, what culture is this?

 

[Finarfin]

That particular character's culture is Bolghar from the Altaic group. I don't know if that's a localized HIP name or not. Most likely the others I've been seeing are from the same group or culture, as that is what makes up 99% of my realm.

Got it, will be fixed.

Thanks. This mod makes a big difference to the eye candy of the game.

 

[Finarfin]

So, Nendur, do you think you will be redoing this files as ANSI, or is there an easy way to just convert the existing ones?

 

[Nendur]

Yes, doing some test runs for an update right now.

Check out this tool I found. It looks like it might convert from UTF to ANSI without actually changing the characters

[Finarfin]

I posted this in HIP:

Good news. That UTF-8 tool works perfectly. It recodes the file while maintaining the author's original text. I used it on the BLG cultures file and no more screwed up character names. Took 5 seconds.
