hey man, I'm just wondering whether I'm able to use these portraits in my mod. I'll credit you, of course.

Jozef, can you add me on steam?

Have to inquire, but are you going to do some Portraits for German East Asian and German Middle Africa? Simpe things, like the Colonial uniforms for a Generic officer portrait, as worn by Hermann Dresner in East Asia, along with his Slouch hat. It's a big ask, but somthing I and I think others would be thrilled to see, as recruiting more officers often leaves me with portraits that really don't match the setting, such as German Officers in standard wehrmacht wear in a Jungle Setting. By the way, thanks so much for this one too, really helps immersion to not see German WW2 Eagles when the Kaiser is still very much alive and France is ranting about how they'll get Alsace back.

No problem.
Lilja 14 Apr, 2018 @ 2:40pm 
Oh, I didn't know that. I'm sorry
Jozef  [author] 14 Apr, 2018 @ 2:39pm 
I know it says that it's not up to date, but all my files are still fully functional.

I will probably end up updating the .mod file sooner or later, but I have quite a few mods here and let's just say I'm not looking forward to having to update them all for no real reason other than to make a small symbol disappear.

If it really bothers you, you can edit descriptor.mod located in my mods' .zip files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360 (or whatever the path is on your system).
Lilja 14 Apr, 2018 @ 1:12pm 
Are you going to update this mod any time soon?
Jozef  [author] 8 Apr, 2018 @ 2:57pm 
Do your best :p

I see what you mean, and I'll tell you what, I'm going to take a stab at the photos and make an alternative to this mod, as I doubt personally the hat design would have changed as drastically as it did in the Nazi period of rule. Thank you for your explanation and I appreciate your time, and good luck in your future endeavors.

I'm well aware that the roundels on my version are switched compared to those from the First World War. I'm telling you that this was a conscious choice I made and what my rationale behind it is.
Marineartillerist Doom 8 Apr, 2018 @ 2:38pm 
Notice the placement on this photo [www.warhats.com]
Jozef  [author] 8 Apr, 2018 @ 2:32pm 
It's a design choice I made, and I don't think you can make strong statements about how the German uniforms would have looked if the Empire had survived.

See the description for my rationale:

"I decided to keep the imperial roundel (black-silver-red) on the lower part of the cap, which is different than how it was on the First World War uniform of Germany, where the roundel of the applicable German state is on the lower part and the imperial roundel on the upper part. This is because I wanted to keep the oak leaves around the imperial roundel, and it seemed to me that the roundel with the oak leaves around them should be the most important one (so the imperial one)."
Marineartillerist Doom 8 Apr, 2018 @ 2:27pm 
I want to apologize, that was an oversight by me, but you still need to flip the cockades, as the German Imperial symbol is supposed to be above the kingdoms symbol. If the german empire survived WW1, they would have kept the cockades in the same place as they originally had them. Otherwise, you did a fantastic job, as I tried to do the same thing a year ago on PDN and failed miserably xD
Jozef  [author] 8 Apr, 2018 @ 6:43am 
I'm pretty sure I've seen a picture of him with a Württembergish cockade. If you have another picture, I'd like to have a look.

Marineartillerist Doom 7 Apr, 2018 @ 10:06am 
Hey Jozef, in WW1 Rommel wore either a Prussian or Imperial German cockade on his hate, not one of Wurtemmburg, otherwise your mod looks fantastic :)
Jozef  [author] 7 Feb, 2018 @ 3:57pm 
I have had some success colouring one of the nazi uniforms blue like the Austro-Hungarian ones, but I'm not promising anything.

Also, if I get around to it, they won't include proper rank insignia (I'll just remove the German ones). I've tried some things but it's too difficult for me.
StarGaming 7 Feb, 2018 @ 1:23pm 
could you possibly make another one for austria, either in here or in a seperate mod?
Kick Dickem 24 Jan, 2018 @ 7:22pm 
this always annoyed me

trufflez 22 Jan, 2018 @ 4:14pm 
hey man, is there anywhere i could find these as simple images? not sure where to look in the HOI IV directory for raw images. if anyone could point me in the right direction id appreciate it
Jozef  [author] 22 Jan, 2018 @ 2:16pm 
@Hirohito's Eight Chin Go ahead. I'm still curious, though :p
SANDMAN 22 Jan, 2018 @ 2:15pm 
thanks mate, again i like the mod. Helps when i put on the persona of a Keiser. :D
Treebeard 22 Jan, 2018 @ 2:01pm 
Hey man, Mind if I use the Portraits for a mod? I can message you any details and whatnot.
SANDMAN 22 Jan, 2018 @ 12:45pm 
Just to bug you. Love the mod. what terrain mod do you use in the background?
StarGaming 22 Jan, 2018 @ 9:03am 
10/10 should be in the base version of kaiserreich
Jozef  [author] 22 Jan, 2018 @ 8:32am 
Cheers :)
Esmarak 22 Jan, 2018 @ 8:27am 
Omfg you just made my week , thank you so much :infanterie: !
Jozef  [author] 22 Jan, 2018 @ 8:05am 
Esmarak 22 Jan, 2018 @ 6:01am 
Sounds great!
Jozef  [author] 22 Jan, 2018 @ 3:17am 
It's actually fairly easy: the portraits in Kaiserreich are files with "kr" in the title; if you remove the "kr" and save them as a .dds, they should appear in the vanilla game.

The hard part is that Kaiserreich uses simple colourised pictures, whereas vanilla uses drawings; so if you'd just add my pictures to the main game it would be pretty jarring.

However, I've made progress in a new, vanilla-style, mod. All the navy portraits are alreadtly done, and the army portraits that don't feature a cap (because all you need to do there is remove the symbol from the uniform jacket).
Esmarak 22 Jan, 2018 @ 1:06am 
These are so awsome, i dont get the hate from some people int the comments . I would be really cool if you could release them as a stand allone or find somebody that could do that for you , it would be a shame if they could only be used in Kaiserreich.
Kaiser1871 22 Jan, 2018 @ 12:30am 
Love the work btw and should definitely be incorporated into the main Kaiserreich mod.
Kaiser1871 22 Jan, 2018 @ 12:29am 
Jesus christ this comments section is filled with some absolute idiots just trying to find any opportunity they can to cry about "muh censorship".
Chazzen 21 Jan, 2018 @ 10:52pm 
Some people can't read. Great mod!
Lord_Fell 21 Jan, 2018 @ 5:55pm 
Thanks for the mod i do admit that Nazi eagles did kinda ruin the emersion of the Kaiserriech Area as i look down to see rommel kicken ass and realise.Right Only russia really got portrait changes
Cogsed 21 Jan, 2018 @ 5:22pm 
@Dalton It's a realism mod for Kaiserreich. Kaiserreich is an alt history mod, where Germany "won" World War One. Of course the Nazis wouldnt come to power, so the Imperial buttons, colors, and everything would stay the same, if not change SLIGHTLY.
Jozef  [author] 21 Jan, 2018 @ 4:42pm 
As you can clearly read in the title and the description, this mod is intended for the Kaiserreich mod in which the German Empire still exists.

I can't help but feel you folks are looking for the first best occasion to complain about some senseless non-issue.
mage 21 Jan, 2018 @ 1:31pm 
holy fuck I've been suggesting this exact thing to them for a while, AND you have their state cockades, that makes me really happy
