could you send me these ? might like them for my lancer ttrpg :3

I haven't been able to find out from anyone else's comments, but in coop, is it required for everyone to have the mod? or is it per user?

I just tested it again on a fresh install of MW5 and it's working with DLC 3 for me.

It's not working on the current version.

Thank You for this.

Thank you so much!

thanks for this, as a cis female i really wanted to have a female portrait for career mode

Oh, and thanks for putting them on Nexus too. I use that for mods instead of a Steam Workshop "Subscription," because I like having the actual files on my computer. That way I can always just copy my Mods folder and move it, or fiddle with it, or have everything if Steam goes down, or what have you.

Like I said, I'm a hardware guy, and having the actual files is like having the hardware. LOL.

I'm a hardware guy. I can build you an amazing gaming machine if you give me the parts. Custom cases and all. But if I have to do more than double-click on something to make it work, I'm borked.

If it weren't for people like you doing what you do, my gaming life would be much more boring and vanilla. Please don't let anonymous internet idiot trolls discourage you. Most of us love what you're doing.

Remember...people usually go leave feedback somewhere to complain. The positive comments get lost in the drek.

Start reading from here, lol.







It's mostly what I've gotten in DMs, not many detractors want to be public about it, though a few were early on. I had to make my profile more private, since I was getting a few every day, and they weren't too pretty, lol. I'm just an artist, but an amateur coder at best. Takes a few hours to a couple of days to paint a new portrait up, but not the greatest feeling when someone treats it like something they can make in MS paint in 20 minutes and then demand "a real mod." I used to be a career modder back in the the early 00's, but that was so long ago, and not much is the same. Used to make total conversions for things like Renegade, but had to spend a few days learning C++ just to get some assets into Stardew Valley I made earlier this year.

The Unreal Editor is very convoluted and difficult to understand for even established modders, but I worked out how to get assets into the game after a few days of self-learning. Sticking to the basics, avoiding most of the complicated things, etc. There's currently no one on Steam who's been able to get new assets into the game and create all the hooks and calls and jazz that are required to make new menus and a system for choosing portraits in-game. I've considered trying it myself, but I don't want to mess with what I don't know about, if others will be using it, too. It's one thing if I bork my own saves, but I don't want to bork others'. http://prntscr.com/16e02wi

I've written up a guide that's a few paragraphs long for how to edit assets with the Unreal Editor and make a portrait mod that replaces Mason's portrait, or a company logo. I've not finished making a mod that adds new logos to the list at the beginning of the game, or the one that adds my portraits as new hireable pilots to the pool. (Once that is done, I would be able to package all my self-made portraits for pilots into one hireable pilots expansion mod, but the Mason replacer one will still be separate until either I learn to code, or someone else figures it out first, and so far no one has here yet.) I still have to learn all the tags to do that, too.

I'm still learning the basics of the logic system and the such. As you can imagine, things can get quite complicated, quite fast. xD Just look at that blueprint above. For now I've stuck to the simple basics I understand well, overrides with sources of my choosing. Many things you'd think would be easy and straight forward, like building up a mesh with a nice border shader, aren't so easy.

I'll probably upload a few more, as I was commissioned to make a couple of more portraits, and I don't see any reason not to make them public when they're finished. This post was too long for Steam, so I broke it up. xD

not whining a all. Just asked if there was a way to merge them or if someone else that mods was to see this, maybe they could offer some suggestions is all.

Not whining, I'm just trying to give everyone a fair chance to be noticed on the workshop when sorting by "recently updated", that's all. These mods are great, who even wants to be Mason? lol

Don't stop. These are great. If people want to whine because they have to pick one, check a box in the mod menu, and restart their game, then repeat that process if they start a NEW game, well...ignore them.

You're doing fun stuff. I downloaded a couple to pick from in my next game! Thank you!

I've been hearing that opinion quite a bit, so I suppose this'll be the last one. I've gotten one too many angry messages, lol. I don't have the skill to create such a mod, and nobody else has been able to produce one yet, either. I would have to wait for that to happen before being able to merge any of my mods.

As for MrShadowCX's question, you can have them all downloaded at the same time, just have whatever one you want to use enabled in the mods menu.

Yeah enabling some UI to choose portraits at the start of a new save would be a better solution. Flooding the mod platforms with duplicates isn't the best, going to be honest.

so question... seeing as you cant find a way to merge all these into one mod and a way for the player to scroll between portraits to pick one, what happens if I was to download 3 or 4 of these mods? Will they conflict because you can only have 1 Commander portrait? Just feels like such a waste to make soooooo many of the same mod just for one portrait each.
