Khall's More Portaits

This mod adds new portraits and unlocks some custom ones to bring the amount of male portraits up to 105 from 36, and female portraits up to 27 from 22. This mod is for people who want more variation in portraits. but in the default art style.

What it does:

Male:

- Adds 9 new African portraits (12 from 3)

- Adds 13 new Asian portraits (18 from 5)

- Adds 18 new Mediterranean portraits and unlocks 2 custom portraits (28 from 8)

- Adds 15 new Northern portraits and unlocks 12 custom portraits (47 from 20)

Female:

- Unlocks 1 unused Mediterranean portrait (8 from 7)

- Adds 1 new Northern portrait and unlocks 3 unused portraits (13 from 9)

E.g.

The new portraits were created by mixing and matching different elements of existing portraits in photoshop. I still need to create female portraits, go over my portraits that I'm not happy with and just generally make more portraits. I'll add it to the completed mod section when I consider it more completed

But there's enough in it to add some much need variety.

Man, you did great here! By explaining how to manually add it instead of justing putting the edited file, we can use it together with any other mod we want!

Thanks a lot! Awesome!

Thank you for this!! great job

This came at just the right time. I've got long lost identical twins on my squad already. Thank you!

Ok, I've done some more work on this:

- Fixed up a few existing portraits

- Added 4 more new Mediterranean portraits

- Added 8 new Northern portraits

Some of the new portraits:

Updated download link. You'll need to alter the "soldiernames.xml" to use the larger pool, updated instructions in OP to new numbers.

awesome. i assume this is compatible with Xtended Backgrounds if we modify that mod's soldiernames.xml?

Yep, it should work with all non-portrait mods, just got to change a few numbers in soldiernames.xml, and that's it.

Sweet. I hope you make more of these, and start on the women. It's nice that your method is totally fitting with the Xenonauts art style.

Thank you. I very much look forward to seeing how the women turn out seeing as the default game has so few.

Yeah, nice mod. I'll definitely use this!

just waiting on the females then full speed downloading and installing this mod this mod.

Some new portraits added working with Ogaburan and Theon Greyjoy:

- Added 1 new Asian portrait

- Added 2 new Mediterranean portraits

- Added 5 new Northern portraits

Sample:

Updated instructions in OP

Very nice! Keep them coming!

wow, nice quality. Especially the Asian one.

And just so you know: feel free to add any of mine to your pack if they pass your quality standards. I'll probably upload some more today.

I especially like the one with the red beard!

lol

Anyway got some time and uploaded all my stuff to the dropbox, I isolated the white beard... maybe you can use it.

Also tried experimenting with making hair color more elderly/mature by adding some gray into it... but am unhappy of the results so far...

Give them wings, like Paulie Walnuts.

Very nice, i also wait for female pack

Yeah, when are we getting the females?

Ive tried...

Females are hard!

Also not much to mix & match... and im no artist to actually create some from scratch...

I assume both Khall and Theon have the same problem...

These look great, keep up the work!

Feel free to post some of female works-in-progress for comments or feedback if you'd like.

I've done some more male portraits in my spare time:

- Added 1 new African portrait

- Added 2 new Asian portrait

- Added 2 new Mediterranean portraits

- Added 2 new Northern portraits

- And completed my first female portrait

As you can see from the last picture, I have also finally started work on the female portraits.

I also noticed when I was looking through the female portraits that there is 1 Mediterranean and 3 Northern portraits going unused due to wrong values in "soldiernamesfemale.xml".

I've updated instruction in the OP as always, including how to add and unlock the new and existing female portraits

Once I've done a bunch more female portraits I'll add this to the completed mods, though I'll still make portraits occasionally.

Thanks, nice work!

Very good Khall, I was running out of pictures

Thank you very much for this.
