Need update, portraits system changed.

tragic that this one doesn't work.

at least for 3.13 doesnt work sadly ;( i hope this can be updated i really would like to play with your portraits :)

@Grunt4life - There, happy? XD

Thank you Nozeminer, love this I can't wait to use them for my Vampire Empire (or Vam-pire) playthrough! :D

thanks for the mod makes great as a counter species of nosferatu agasint my hidden human esk vampires,

For the idiots who cant read the mod still works, it just shows up outdated because the mod author not gonna update every damn update now go say thank you to Nozeminer for an amazing mod

Ok, thanks for clarifying that to me.

If a new game version breaks the mod, then of course I will update it.

That actually only happened once with another mod, when the new human portraits came out and the portrait structure was thrown a bit messed up as a result.

But other than that, you really don't need to worry that something about it won't work just because the launcher marks it as outdated.
The launcher automatically reports everything as outdated that was not uploaded after the current patch, completely independent of whether it works or not.

I just don't intend to download and then reupload all my mods after every patch or bugfix without changing anything.

Did you intend to update this mod for the 3.8?

This mod should work as a replacement for that boring vampire-like xenos from the Necroids Species Pack -- your design is far superior to the one used in that DLC. The only thing I'm missing here is the male/female sexual dimorphism.

Love your mod <3

@Everyone:
You are all welcome to add my mods to yours, create collections, reupload them somewhere else, and/or use assets (clothing/species portraits/whatever) of them for your mods.
I didn't make em for myself, but so that people can have fun with them, and if they help to create more mods for people to enjoy, it's all the better.

So yeah, that's sort of a general permission for everyone to do everything.
Of course, I would be very happy about a mention in the credits.

Oh hi, of course I'm ok with that. ^_^

Hi Nozeminer, would you be ok if I included this mod in my patch that condenses all portraits mods in vanilla's species_classes? Your mod would be a requirement for my patch and users would have to subscribe to your mod. I will not take any credit and/or include any of your art in my mod (only changing species_class to fit the portraits under humanoids). https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2800218111

Nah, feel free to use and / or modify it as you please.

Wonderful work - I have included parts of your mod in mine but then got banned for not asking for permissions. Do you have any objections to your work being included in mine? I have already added you to the credits list.

This dude be like " ya i threw this together quick its ok" when its better animated than 90% of portrait mods on the workshop, like gorgeous

These guys look like the Magog from Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. I liked!

these vamps combined with the necroid city and shipset = win

It's not just from yours, Twinks mods also got this issue. The thing is that silfae's portraits which also have its own category can appear as AI, I tried both the original and your repack. Perhaps some side-by-side file comparison may able to pinpoint the issue.

About what?
It is playable, I just tested it. Or do you encounter any errors?
I just didn't reply to the previous comment because "still broken" isn't something that I can work with.
So here is the current state:
The Portraits show up in the menu, they show up ingame and the clothes and animations also work.
The only thing that doesn't is that they do not show up as as AI empires. An error that also occurs with my other portrait mod. And I'm honest here when I say that I don't know how to fix this. There is no "can spawn as AI-Empire=yes/no"-option in the script when you make a mod.
The only workaround I know of is to put them into existing species categories (e.g. mammalian), where they can easily get overwritten by other portrait mods that add their portraits in the same category.

Any news ? :/

Is this mod still broken?

Yeah, based on the Bat-Thing from the mammalian category, so the mouth is animated as well.
Oh and @Sol Invictus,
I am aware of the problem, it is the same as with my EvilXHuman portraits.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet because I couldn't figure out what exactly is causing this problem. :/

Are these animated?

Empire wont spawn in if using the species.

Good

Yeah, I'll update all of my mods in the comming weekend.

are you going to update this for 2.8?

Simple truth. Your vampire specie is more intimidating and terrifing

That's awesome to hear. ^_^

Don worry Noze. your vampire beast is more vampire of the vampire necroid

I'm pretty sure you can since there are apparently no portrait restrictions for it (well, except machines since you need to take gestalt conciousness for them).

Yeah, I like both of the bats too. Hope I can use yours in my necroid empire when it drops!

I wouldn't say the bat in the necroids DLC could be compared to yours. They are simply different and both your mod and the added bat portrait is gonna fit well into the game.

Ah well, I just saw all the portraits from the necroids dlc, there is a vampire bat included. D:

This is gonna be perfect when Necroids comes out

Shame the old Vampire mod seems to be dead. It would be nice to have traits to go with the nice portraits and cityscape.

Is anyone else having difficulties getting these to load? I've subscribed to this and it's enabled in my load order, but the portrait category just is not showing up.

Look almost like the Magog From Andromeda

This'll be perfect for when Necroids comes out

Space Vampire omg omg omg omg vote A+

By living under your bed and hearing you say something about vampires in space while your're asleep. D:

I had just been thinking of creating space-vampires in Stellaris... how did you read my mind like that?

Of course I'm not opposed to that. And feel free to use them however you like.

Wow these turned out really nice.

I hope I'm able to do something this cool when I inevitably mod Necroids. I may get in touch for some form of credited collaboration with you, whenever the DLC is out, if you're not opposed :p

Nice portraits. I will use them to make the friendliest empire ever.

For the clothing I've cut the existing clothing in pieces, put them together and recoloured the whole thing to fit the theme (along with a little bit of hand drawing).

As for the portraits themselves, they are a combination of hand drawing (i.e. the teeth and skin) and some snippets from screenshots and artwork of vampire lords from skyrim (like the nose, forehead and the hair piece on the back of the head) that I edited and recoloured to fit the overall look of the rest of the portrait.

The eyes are the same as the bat has, just recoloured and slightly edited.
