Community Portrait Pack

Description


Community Portrait Pack adds over 500 new portraits (large and advisor portraits) drawn in Vanilla style.
Most of these portraits are for Vanilla characters who use a generic one, but in some cases they give a better portrait to a character who already had a unique one.

Immersive generic portraits for specific armies will also be gradually added. So far, only Belgium has been treated, as I arbitrarily picked it as a test nation for this new feature, but I plan to cover major nations and some "interesting ones" (ie those covered by DLCs).

It is compatible with Ironman mode and with achievements.

I have just released an optional companion mod, 'Community Portrait Pack Expanded', which will prevent achievements but will circumvent what forbids to give unique portraits to some characters (advisors mostly) and also split some characters' portraits between civil and military, when it makes senses to do so.

In the future, I might code a tool (probably in the form of an html interface) to pick alternative portraits in the case of a character who has more than one option, so you can choose between different artists or even fallback to the Vanilla portrait. In the mean time, here's a link to a tutorial[forum.paradoxplaza.com] on Paradox Plaza to manually do this.

As this rely on abstract linking between portrait references and their assigned textures, without overwritting any Vanilla files, this mod is virtually compatible with any future patch or any "non-totalitarian" mods (mods that hardlink portraits).

It currently includes portraits from the following artists:
  • PoorBananaMan27
  • MikMogus
  • Vanamees
  • Noremac1700
  • FacundoSim
  • Mstae67
  • TheManul
  • The Bolshevik Jew
  • Capt Chetson
  • Bertocho
  • Fluffy Fish Creations
  • Herman Lindqvist
  • Josk8C
  • Carlos Magno
  • FoxDie24
  • Harry
  • Rangel
  • Le Kiwi Suisse
  • The Road to 56 artists team

(if I forgot your name, please contact me)

DISCLAMER: The latest update has massively changed the mod structure, so if you customized it, you will probably have to adpat your modifications.

ROADMAP:

The latest covered region was the Iberian peninsula, ie Spain, Portugal, but also Catalonia, Galicia, and Navarra aka Basque Country.
I am currently working on creating a pool of generic portraits specific to each faction of the Spanish Civil War and to Portugal.

Future updates might, in no specific order, cover:
  • India and Pakistan
  • Latin America
  • Soviet Republics

@Thomas_chun: I had not realized, as I have not played with Norway yet. I'll insert them in my todo list, but unfortunatly not on top of it

It is sad that three Norwegian admirals still do not have their portraits, Jacob von der Lippe, Carsten Tank-Nielsen, and Edgar Otto. The only three generics at AAT. It will be my pleasure to share the resources I found if they will be the update in the future!

Thank you both for your kind words.

@Pirkov: I found a new Trotsky portrait for Mexico, and used a declination of it for Trotsky as a Mexican advisor. They should match more, now.

Thank you for the update! I love the new portrait of Marshal Graziani so much :)

Just got surprised with the new update playing as Communist China; thank you for fixing that last generals uniform color, Is there any chance you could make Mexico's Trotsky leader portrait the same as his army advisor one?

God I love this mod, You made Armando Sales of Brazil look like the real dude unlike other mods. He looks so glorious, I love him so much I have to revert to another version to get his portrait due to the trial of allegiance dlc. Im looking forward to seeing most of the characters on the map look like the real people, thank you for making this mod. It personally makes me happy.

A compatibility update for 1.14 and Trial of Allégeance was released about a week ago, but a major update is coming very soon: most portraits of field marshals, generals and admirals will get their small version, for when the character is promoted to advisor and recruited in officer corps.
Before creating the small versions I refined over 90 military and navy large existing portraits (only a handful large portraits are brand new). Over 120 new advisor portraits will be added.
The art is done, the mapping is coded, and an automatic check was performed to track typos.
I'll test the update this week-end, so the new content will be available in less than a week.

could you tell us when you 'll release the next edition?:peace_hoi:

After, the release of the new DLC, some portraits of this mod will override the new Vanilla portraits.
It will some time (hopefully less than a couple of days) to remove redundant portraits in a new mod update.
