Khall Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) 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. Installation instructions: 1. Download the mod and extract it 2. Add the downloaded "soldierimage" and "soldierimagefemale" folders to their respective folders in "assets" 3. Open "soldiernames.xml" with notepad 4. Change this <Ethnicity name="afri" count="[b]3[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="asi" count="[b]5[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="med" count="[b]8[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="nor" count="[b]20[/b]" /> to this <Ethnicity name="afri" count="[b]12[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="asi" count="[b]18[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="med" count="[b]28[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="nor" count="[b]47[/b]" /> 5. Open "soldiernamesfemale.xml" with notepad 6. Change this <Ethnicity name="afri" count="[b]3[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="asi" count="[b]3[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="med" count="[b]7[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="nor" count="[b]9[/b]" /> to this <Ethnicity name="afri" count="[b]3[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="asi" count="[b]3[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="med" count="[b]8[/b]" /> <Ethnicity name="nor" count="[b]13[/b]" /> to allow use of the new portraits.

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!

Khall Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) 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.

agris Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 awesome. i assume this is compatible with Xtended Backgrounds if we modify that mod's soldiernames.xml? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khall Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yep, it should work with all non-portrait mods, just got to change a few numbers in soldiernames.xml, and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agris Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkupotamous Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thank you. I very much look forward to seeing how the women turn out seeing as the default game has so few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theon Greyjoy Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) 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.

Ogaburan Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 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...

Ogaburan Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agris Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khall Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) 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.
