Nameless1 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Jesus this seems really a great work. It seems you took good care to "blend" them as much as possible to the rest of the game's art. And I don't think it was an easy task, considering the realistic starting look. Definitely using this for my first game, tbh I'm a bit surprised the original game is offering so little.

Jsleezy Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Jesus this seems really a great work. It seems you took good care to "blend" them as much as possible to the rest of the game's art. And I don't think it was an easy task, considering the realistic starting look. Definitely using this for my first game, tbh I'm a bit surprised the original game is offering so little. Thanks it took a lot of time and effort. As of right now there are 146 total portraits (I have to create like 6 more that just go added). To give you a scope of how long it took...there are 114 male portraits which took me between 30 minutes to 60 minutes each. There are 32 female portraits that took me between 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours each. If I was charging at a freelance rate I'd be a few thousand dollars richer, but I had a lot of fun doing them for free (for the most part) so I can't complain. I'm very proud of how they came out.

Moonie Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 And so you should be proud, they are darn fine work, and keepers for me. Chris could do worse than add these to the vanilla game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Wouldn't that also mean all of the custom portraits would need to be redone in the new style though? Also if they are based on real people wouldn't permission need to be sought from those people to use a rendition of their likeness in a commercial product?

Jsleezy Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks Moonie. There was already a huge debate about this a while back. Like Gauddlike said...it's best left as a mod and that's good enough for me as that's what it was meant to be from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi Jsleezy, I've just installed your mods to see how it feels in the game. At first glance it looks ok. But something is wrong with 2 soldiers I have in my team. Her hands color doesn't join with her other skin color. Is this fixable by you? I know someone might not like everything but I think that her face just doesn't go well together with that helmet. Now I will not tell you to change it, but if you also think something is not right here then I will look forward to some changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsleezy Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Silencer, thanks for supporting this mod. The first issue is pretty easy to correct by adding gloves to the hands. I can send you the file you need and will make sure the edit gets made and uploaded once the game comes out. Message me your email and I'll send the file your way. For the second issue there is not much I can do. There are a few faces that will look a little off in certain armors and this is one of them.

silencer Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 No worries, I'll wait for the full release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsako Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 One of my favorite mods. I noticed, however, that one soldier I have has no portrait. It comes up blank. I have a screenshot below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsleezy Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 By your class icon it seems like you're running an old build. In the vanilla game there were some portraits that were being skipped and it would show something like that. I can't be entirely sure what is causing it although its looking for an image that doesn't exist. I had a similar issue several builds back, but it was because certain pregenerated soldiers were not linked correctly. Perhaps it's something similar? Is there a way for you to find out what portrait number it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsako Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I will try to find out if I can. I am running v19, and that is probably the root of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I know someone might not like everything but I think that her face just doesn't go well together with that helmet. Now I will not tell you to change it, but if you also think something is not right here then I will look forward to some changes. Kind of looks like that particular face is turned too much straight towards the camera. That it isn't positioned the same way the others are.

Spyda665 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Can i use the included XML files with the new V21 stable version, I've noticed a pretty big size difference and don't want to mess up my game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentelin Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Try it.In case you do mess up game,you always can delete that XML and verify integrity of the game cache to recover original XML or just backup that XML file before applying mod.

Spyda665 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I put in just the graphics and missed out the XML's, seems to work perfect .. just Can't play the game without the faces and armours put on ... thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsleezy Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Can i use the included XML files with the new V21 stable version, I've noticed a pretty big size difference and don't want to mess up my game The XML files won't work, but you can still replace the portraits. The XML files seem to change with every release which is why I'm waiting for the game to be released before I do all the final adjustments to this mod.

Top Doge Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 any idea if this works for v21 stable? if not any idea when you might update it? the mod looks really good but I love v21 too much to go back to v20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, the mod will still work, just don't install the XML files and just replace the portraits. I will probably not update the files until the game comes out since they seem to change with every build.

Amiga4ever Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Dude, your work is awesome:) I can't imagine a game without these portraits anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsleezy Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thanks man. I now have to make around 20 new male portraits that were added recently. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsleezy Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I have uploaded a fix for V22 Experimental branch. The fix, just like all the other fixes, frees the soldier pool. Please note, that there are still around 20 new portraits that I'm missing. I plan to create the new portraits soon.

Nameless1 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Hi Jsleezy I absolutely don't want to push you, but I love your mod and would like to use it in my first playthrough at release...is there any problem using it without the last 20? Release should be in two weeks if I'm not wrong, also they are doing this if you're interested: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/9992-Calling-all-Modders-Producing-A-List-of-Active-Mods bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, yes. You can use the mod with the current build. The only drawback is (and that is the part that needs confirming as I am unsure) that you will have a minor chance of getting a character with one of the old faces. But the chance of that happening is really low (and you can always kill him off ..oh sorry I ment make him scout for you ..open the doors...stuff like that ... I didn't mean to kill no xenonaut ). You cannot, however, copy the gameconfig.xml file as that will mess up your game. Instead go into your game config file, find the line: <femaleSoldierChance value="40" comment="The percent chance that a generated soldier is a female" /> and change it to <femaleSoldierChance value="20" comment="The percent chance that a generated soldier is a female" /> and BTW Thanks for the mod Jsleezy! Really Great Work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
