[MOD] CPRplus

[Anton Rex]

I have a question regarding the different helmets and how to acquire them.
For example I have the "pig helmet", the 4th from left, how can I change it to say.... the 2nd or the 4th one?

I have a question relating to CPRplus and HiP.

Since the updated (and must I say, gorgeous) Arabic Egyptian protraits really express the fact that Egyptians are related to the southern Cushitic people in terms of facial appearance, shouldn't the Coptics also have updated faces as well, instead of generic Levantine faces?

I don't really know if you guys have control over that part of HiP, but I'd figured I'd suggest it, since it'd make my Coptic runs much more immersive.

Done!

You must have a different combination of Martial and Personal Combat Skill. This doesn't apply to Muslim and Steppe armors, however.

Hai.

I come here for asking permission to use your mod assets for my mod..."CPRplus for A Game of Thrones MOD ".
My modwork has already finished...here is example.

My present mod includes original CPRplus/gfx/characters/afgan_female～westernslavic_male files(except shared file and religious clothes), and I changed nothing about original portrait.dds files inclueded in CPRplus.
I'm waiting for a good reply!!

＃＃＃＃post script＃＃＃＃
All of my modwork is not only setting new cultures and portrait.gfx file,but also imploving original AGOT portrait mechanics.

In original AGOT,the clothes of "kingsguard","maestar" and "nightswatch" are inclueded in gfx/characters/XXX_male or XXX_female.dds .
But this structure causes problem...it's incapable to use DLC portrait because of not including these trait based clothes!!

So I found a solution...added new portrait properties.

1.Override defines to "NDefines.NGraphics.NUMBER_OF_PROPERTIES = 15"
2.Add a layer in portraits.gfx: "GFX_custom:14"
3.Create new traitclothes.dds including these 3 clothes and blank

Here is example:westerman.gfx(mixture of lombald face and westernslavic clothes)

portraitType = {
name = "PORTRAIT_westermangfx_male"
effectFile = "gfx/FX/portrait.lua"
layer = { # GFX_TYPE:[d|p]INDEX:COLOR_LINKONT_REFRESH_IF_VALID:CULTURE_INDEX
"GFX_character_background0"
"GFX_westernslavic_male_clothes_behind3:c0"
"GFX_traitclothes_behind14"←added
"GFX_westernslavic_male_headgear_behind5:c1"
"GFX_byzantine_male_hair_behind1:h:y3x1"
"GFX_german_male_beard_behind40x-3:h:y"
"GFX_german_male_base2"
"GFX_german_male_neck:d0"
"GFX_german_male_cheeks:d4"
"GFX_german_male_chin:d1"
"GFX_german_male_mouth:d2"
"GFX_german_male_nose:d3"
"GFX_german_male_eyes:d6"
"GFX_german_male_eyes2:d6:e"
"GFX_character_scars7:y"
"GFX_character_reddots8"
"GFX_character_boils9"
"GFX_character_blinded_eyes10"
"GFX_character_eyepatch13:y30x63"
"GFX_westernslavic_male_clothes3:c2"
"GFX_traitclothes14"←added
"GFX_westernslavic_male_headgear_mid5:c3"
"GFX_german_male_ear:d7"
"GFX_german_male_beard40x-3:h:y"
"GFX_byzantine_male_hair1:h:y3x1"
"GFX_character_mask12:y40x45"
"GFX_empty3:c4"
"GFX_westernslavic_male_headgear5:c5"
"GFX_character_imprisoned6"
"GFX_player_overlay11"
}

Finally he wear all white cloaks as kingsguard:

Thus, it's more easy to add new portrait.gfx file. By this mechanics, we can use all dlc portrait clothes freely

Excellent initiative! First things first: how would your submod be installed? Does it require installing CPRplus, and then your submod? Does your submod require CPRplus to run? Or is it a stand-alone submod that uses assets from CPRplus and doesn't require CPRplus to be installed?

Thanks for reply,Mr.Ese khan!
Currently my mod works as standalone.
it doesn't require to be installed CPRplus.
Because modding about files included in gfx/characters/shared isn't finished.

I send you friend invitation of steam and I open up my mod to friend only,so you can check file structure.

I apologize you that my reply is delayed.
I live in Japan and there is time difference(maybe).

I'm not sure if you contacted me privately or not but I'll reply here. You are welcome to make a compatibility patch for CPRplus and AGOT. Have at it with the assets. I don't understand the entirety of your message so forgive me if you already answered this but how are you protecting paradox's DLC material from non-dlc users. I wouldn't want you getting a Cease and desist letter from Paradox's lawyers.

For this reason I do recommend to focus your efforts on the easier route and that is to simply make a compatch. Users download AGOT, then CPRplus, then your portrait properties and what you in your patch. Saves you the headache of updating your gfx files as CPRplus updates as well.

I'm not familiar with AGOT and thus its portrait issues but I'm sure some of the other members who have been asking about this can appreciate your endeavor more than I. Regardless, Good work.

Thank you for taking the time to give me some advice.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the troubles caused by my lack of care. I misunderstood that ownership of gfx files are belong you entirely.

I reconfigure my mod to compatible patch.

Thanks for helpful advices! I finally open up my compatible patch on steam workshop!
Currently My sub-mod have dependencies on A Game of thrones MOD and CPRplus MOD.

 

[sirdar]

Is this mod compatible with the TWK mod?

 

[TheGreatSnoop]

Just wanted to say that CPRplus has given the game new life for me. It makes it so much more interesting/personal when characters really do stand out in terms of individual appearance, plus the way it makes it so that there the different ethnic appearances aren't too distinct, but flow quite seamlessly throughout the lands, is fantastic.

 

[Friedrich von Deutschland]

Wanted to see if something was going to be done about the female german portraits. Currently their haircolor is significantly different from their male counterparts to the point where it creates an issue of consistency, not to mention their hair overall just don't look very good. There is also a misalignment issue with chins 5 and 7 being too far left. I think this is a product of Paradox's German portrait pack not being properly accounted for since most of the problematic assets seem to be more or less identical to vanilla.

Edit: Ok, so I went to grab some pictures to highlight the issues I noticed.

This chin, 5, is outright broken. You can see the jagged angle which is created just left of the mouth which I refuse to believe is intentional.

Both of these chins, 1 and 3 respectively, have an odd crease just below the mouth. This crease is covered if you chose mouth 8 but all other mouths leave it exposed. Said exposure seems unintended and is quite unappealing to look at IMO.

Just to show the massive difference in hair color. These two characters have identical DNA yet the Male has very light hair while the Female has some incredibly dark hair, only slightly lighter than the dark blonde option and actually darker than the male dark blonde option. Definitely something to fix/change IMO.

 

[kvsl]

I have provided some ideas for portraits for some of the different ethnicities in the new Jade Dragon DLC. First two are average composite faces for Tibetans living on the Tibetan plateau. The third are portraits of chiefs of the Qiang people, directly related to the Tanguts of Xixia

 

[G.Strategos]

@Betrix5068 That's some useful input you got there.

 

[grallonsphere]

Impressive work. Pity itrequires theAztec DLC which I've always refused to buy for it's utter silliness. Oh well.

It does now? Last time I checked it didn't...

 

[grallonsphere]

It does now? Last time I checked it didn't...

Well the OP states it requires all DLCs no? And all portrait packs... does that include the compilations?

 

[LordPeter]

Indeed OP states all, but I guess they consider Sunset Invasion non-canon or the post is simply imprecise.
I just checked and at least the Steam version does not require Sunset Invasion, but everything else (also RoI and all Content Packs).
But yeah, no Aztecs needed afaik

Yea we specifically stated we will never require sunset invasion.
