Great work - thanks for the effort! The enemy images are enough for me anyway for the immersion. THX!

@ wabbit :

Even better, that should suffice for the Time being - thanks :)

It just occurred to me that I can create a version of this mod that should have most of the original mod's graphics. It will be missing some stuff, as I have deleted all the card scripts - but in hindsight a lot of those things were just me being super picky on flavour, sound effects, etc..

Overall you may find this to be the best solution as it will work with all developer updates.

I have posted A New World - Bulletproof Edition in the workshop.

Hope you enjoy it.

wabbit released a Version which contains only portraits and will work mostly always here:

Hello wabbit. Thanks for your feedback. Yes, Raven really is a beast when it comes to updating his "baby". I really hope you can follow up at some point, because your artwork and the immersion that comes with it really lift this fantastic game up another tier or two. Thanks for your feedback and thanks for your good work (in other games too) :-)

The mod works. You won't see any errors.

The developer updated the game recently with some balance changes. These changes will not be seen when this mod is being used, at least for all the cards this mod has changed.

You should be fine to play the game though, just know that you won't be able to enjoy the most current version of game balance.

Unfortunately it is a ton of work for me to get this mod updated to current. I still may do it, but I think I'm going to chill until the development cycle slows down. Raven is a machine at updating this game, I can't keep up. lol. :)

Does the mod actually still work? When I tested it, at least no errors were displayed somehow. Honestly, the mechanics of the game are awesome, but without this graphics mod I wouldn't be able to stand the game for a long time.

And I believe you can still use this mod if you change over to the legacy branch by right clicking on the game in steam and changing the properties.

Great Idea, thanks for the other Mod!

@JxM - Great idea. I've posted up a mod in the workshop with the portraits. :)

@wabbit Thank you for the info. I was wondering if in the mean time, you could release of sub mod with only the Character portraits, it's the part i really enjoyed about your mod.

Ok, so I looked into things a bit more. This is going to take a lot more time than I anticipated. The challenge is finding the missing info on each card definition (if any) and then copying that over. Problem is, nothing is really in any order so it is a ton of searching and cross-referencing.

I'll have to double back on this in a bit. I'm not saying it won't happen, but I can't say I'll jump on this right away. If anyone has a list of the cards that were specifically changed, it would help immensely.

@ wabbit :

Wow, you really gonna do that?

Thanks so much in Advance!

Everyone,

With the new balance update 1.080.2 from Nov 20, it says in the patch notes that many card definitions have been altered. While the New World mod is cosmetic-only and does not change any mechanics, it does use card definitions so it knows to use the modded images.

It is likely this mod is not working correctly with the latest update because of that. I will have to go through all the card definitions in the mod to update them. There are hundreds, so this will take a bit. I hope to get on this soon. Hopefully once I get a groove going I can blast through them.

You should still be able to play the mod in its current form, but you'll miss out on the new updates from the dev, and it may produce weird results as some cards will get updated and some will not. Alternatively, just deactivate the mod for now and wait for an update from me.

@Barbarossa

People are subscribed to this mod - because they want to hear about updates, not a philosophical discussion about racial profiling in a fantasy universe. Plus, telling people to f*** off doesn't help.

Maybe hit the forums with it. I'm a huge advocate for free speech, but sometimes it needs to be in the right channel.

I deleted the JxM thread if it helps ease this out.

Cheers, and have a good one.

@wabbit
Super cool of you to delete my response to JxM and my elaboration on him saying "lore" and calling the original art horrible instead of just the shit between me and Minos.

@wabbit

Yea, I get it. Just bugs me to see people describe a mod like this as "must have" for a game that rather faithfully adheres to historical depictions of a lot of these mythological concepts that rarely make it into games unadulterated. Hell, this game actually has far less nudity than most classical depictions of Nymphs, Dryads, Naiads, and Skyclad style Witches/Wicca.
Also feels like it encourages the prudish tendencies that we have such problems with here in the U.S. so I suppose that got my hackles up too. Nothing personal though, I just appreciate the original vision of the creator.

I think the Author did a great Job with adding professional looking Cards from the Net and I don't mind some Changes, as long as the Cards look that awesome.
And I prefer them in this Way much over the original ones, because they annoy me.
I play the Game for the Gameplay, but still couldn't take long enough the Originals, as they are way too skimpy and 3D looking.

@Barbarossa - Sorry it didn't catch your eye, and no ill will was intended on me trying to shake up genre definitions. I'm well aware of the Seelie, as my background is of that kin :) I'm not even part-asian, but I wanted to give it a spin and give them some more rep in the game. But yeah, a few of the races have been redefined outside of their usual lore. Just wanted to provide some new looks and new styles to widen the experience. I've also added african, aztec, and some hindu races to the table too.

"For example, the Nymph are now a race of dryads and tree-ents."

Dryads are already in the game as the Woodland Dryad and Keeper of the Grove enemies... mythologically Nymphs are not the same thing, and look as they do in the game...

"The Unseelie are Asian cultured who look down upon armor, where the Seelie are a splinter group who embrace it in the ways of the samurai. Etc.."

Immediate loss of interest... Seelie and Unseelie are established concepts from Scottish folklore... seems like stuff is being changed from what they are in the original mythology for no reason.

@ZirzoR 4 of the 6 example images have skimpy clothing...

Literally only bought the game because this mod exists.

Amazing, downloading right now...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Glad you're enjoying it.

Amazing Job. Always playing with it. THX

Just here to say so much thank you for this amazing Mod!

Just what I was looking for, thank you.

A must have for anyone who doesn't appreciate skimpy clothing in fantasy games, highly recommended, well done.

@Naele I have just uploaded a fix to the issue you mentioned. I can't play test it directly as I haven't unlocked those cards yet, but the codes now match so Nightingale and Songbird should be working smooth. Let me know if you run into any problems.

Ok, thanks. Yeah, looks like the dev updated the code when I was in the middle of making the mod. I want to playtest the fix before uploading to make sure it's squashed. I should be able to get some time in the next few days to jump on it. Stay tuned..

I've looked again, it was in Patch 1.070.4 : "Songbird/Nightingale transformation cards will target just them". Maybe it interfere with your "All ally ability cards that used the ally as a picture now have unique images." feature ?

Hey Naele, thanks and not sure about Nightingale/Songbird. The mod does not change anything in terms of mechanics - just the graphics of the ally. I will look into it though and run some tests. Possible a recent patch from the dev was done on the file after I copied over the script so the patch didn't apply.

Hi, I'm new to the game and find your mod immensely valuable !
The only small bug I've found is for Allies like Nightingale/Songbird, the Action to switch one into the other did'nt work. Researching the issue I've found a patch note about those kind of Allies that fix a bug that allow their switch Action to only target them. Maybe that bug fix interfere with your mod ?

Fantastic work which is very immersive due to the uniform concept

+!
