Hmm, while such configuration may indeed look great and contribute to variety, I try to maintain consistency. In this case, I am hesitant to implant a clothing set from the eastern end of Eastern Europe into the western end of Western Europe just for the sake of variety. Also, the significant amount of fur that the Russian clothing sets come with don't seem quite fitting to the Breton portrait set IMO.
This is a slightly difficult issue to handle.
I'm sure you are aware that there is an installation option to keep vanilla Western and Muslim faces, which leaves you with vanilla Western and Muslim faces for all portrait sets that use either face asset. That being the basic rule for the custom installation option, giving the Norman portrait set that treatment would be inconsistent. It's also certainly possible that there are people who don't like CPRplus's Western and Muslim face assets but prefer the Norman portrait set to have CPRplus's Norse face assets, so that treatment is is not going to please everyone.75x49"). Otherwise the face assets will glitch out. See either portraits_german.gfx or potraits_western.gfx for reference. Let me know if you need any help.
LordPeter is providing a compatibility patch module for CK2+, but it's not up to date yet. So you'll have to wait.
Delete celtic_male_nose_1, 2, and 3.dds and celtic_female_nose_1,2, and 3.dds, found in HIP folder/gfx/characters/celtic_male and /celtic_female, respectively. To be precise, English portrait pack doesn't use Celtic noses, so it will remain unaffected.
I'm sure you did this already too, but just make sure that you have default_son_western.tga and default_daughter_western.tga, not something like default_son_german.tga!
Glad to hear that! The Hungarian portrait set is one of the more radically different portraits from vanilla, but curiously we received no feedback on it before you did, I think. As far as the Norse faces go, my opinion is that they have at least a chance at looking cool or pretty in CPRplus.
IIRC it was the hardest set to improve for sifsilver.It would be nice to have those assets, but since like you said the only time you will ever see the Romans in the game is going to be when you are looking at the ERE's title history, I can't find enough justification to add them when the mod is already causing a performance hit on lower-end PCs. Technically every new sprite contributes to more memory use, and CPRplus obviously adds tons of more sprites than vanilla, so I would be more inclined to add new assets for areas that need something new, like fashion in East Africa.
Thank you for the response and all your hard work.LordPeter is providing a compatibility patch module for CK2+, but it's not up to date yet. So you'll have to wait.

Note that this solution does not work in all instances. This solution works only if the numbers of frames in the original and CPRplus files happen to be the same.

Also, make sure to delete alignment adjustment values found in western_male_beard... entries.
Intended, at least for now, as I wanted them to keep their headgear and clothing combination. I was reluctant to create a separate portrait set just to change the face assets used. I will, however, create a new portrait set for the Beja and Afar once/if we get around adding East African clothes.
You can't actually "add" to the clothing set that's controlled by religion since it's hardcoded. You can only modify its content. Another approach would be to directly add a new cloth to the regular clothing set(s), but you would need to do that for every clothing set so it's unpractical.
No major graphic update for some time. We've just been working on polishing existing materials and bug fixing. These include
They already are, sort of. Pagan Hungarians wear a modified version of the Turkish headgear, and there are turbans in it. If you have documentary or archaeological evidence for any particular kind of depiction for any portrait set, please share! I would love more input like that.What about the Magyars wearing turbans?
