Vampire Portraits

Patch for several and this one https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=3245485972

@DaBiggman go to steamapps\workshop\content\281990\2271209736\common\species_classes

then edit 69_species_classes.txt and replace everything below line 14 (the stuff at the top is just comments, the section should start with UNDEAD = { etc) with:

NECROID = {
archetype = BIOLOGICAL

playable = { has_necroids = yes }
possible = { authority = { NOT = { value = auth_machine_intelligence text = SPECIES_CLASS_MUST_NOT_USE_MACHINE_INTELLIGENCE } } }

randomized = { has_necroids = yes }

gender = yes

custom_portraits = {
randomized = { has_necroids = yes }
playable = { has_necroids = yes }
portraits = {
"nec1"
"nec2"
"nec3"
"nec4"
"nec5"
"nec6"
"nec7"
"nec8"
"nec9"
"nec10"
"nec11"
"nec12"
"nec13"
"nec14"
"nec15"
"vampire"
}
}
# These should not be used for randomly generated species
non_randomized_portraits = {
"vampire"
}

graphical_culture = necroid_01
move_pop_sound_effect = "molluscoid_pops_move"

resources = {}
}

@Stekkjastaur - how did you do it? My group would also like to do this.

Would it be possible to move this portrait from "undead" to the default "necroids" category? Rn you can't pick necroid exlusive traits from mods like Species Diversity or origins like Necrophage as vampires. I've already modded my local version to fix this

Also, thanks for the update! Playing as vampires with a subrace of Humans Necrophaged is so much fun.

I see. Ty.

@barricadedpurifier

No, I intentionally set it up that the portraits are not used by any procedural factions, including primitives. This is to avoid duplicate portraits being used.

You can still start the game with an AI faction using the portraits. You just need to make a faction using the portraits and then force spawn the faction.

Ah thank you :) Right now I just use debugtooltip/play X then change the name of the empire manually lol.
Love this mod btw.

I forgot to ask but the game can make primitives from them right?

It's a bug, I'll take a look at it at some later point.

Hi, I am finding that the ai is unable to generate names from the custom list when I use the mod. It simply has blank names for the empire and leaders.
Also, same with species creation using the name list.
Have I got the load order wrong or is this a bug?
