@HolyEros you are welcome bud

Thanks for the info!

@HolyEros Yes easy beans, it is a basic idle animation from one of the mammalian species, tweeked by someone called Legion if I m right. And you basically just have to align your portraits int he heigh of the ones in my mod, and then but the folder sl_shared and the line in the other scripts in the right place and then you portraits will have this idle animation.

Sorry, new to the whole thing, to clarify, you basically took an animation from another file and copied it in your new ones?

@HolyEros check for the sl_shared file in gfx/models/portraits and then how this is implentend in the gfx/portraits/portraits script

How do you add a breathing animation to your species?

@h.j.haller nah the legion mod got tagged and removed from visibility when searching for it because some of legions portraits are in the grey zone. Wanna keep my mods clean

maybe you just should Integrate the stellar mod into your mod. its just a idea

So weird, sometimes it works sometimes not idk why

Ah i see, damn

ok. but will a whas making a new machine empire i coulnt select a portrait on the ruler typeappearens and now that i just relogt in my machine empire dissapeart

@h.j.haller it is working, nothing changed for portraits

plz update Stellar Legions MAIN Reupload to latest version thnx

the male leader are using female portrait, but pop show both gender fine, was it for purpose to have leader all female?

@h.j.haller idk sorry

he 1 specie on humaniod from legions mod doesnt appear Savage Despoilers. why is now 18plus on that mod ???

@h.j.haller there you go https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3439854455

ok. well i hope you can take over stellar legion mods his plant based specie and elf specie i play the most

Was more easier to do in the script. Maybe can change that, but they all supposed to be Humanoid except the aquatic ones and robots.

For Stellar Legions can see what I can do, have the files laying around somewhere. Idk why he took it down so

any reason why every specie you made ar on humanoid ??

your plant based specie should you add on fungoid or plantoid now all my empire ar build on the stellar legion mod

can you take over stellar legions mod ?? he doesnt respon or update his mods and his main mod is gone

@SUPCOM4566 Hey man, thanks for the Feedback :) Sadly I don't have the prescripted empires in my game anymore, this mod is kinda old. And after fresh install they got lost

Any chance you'll share the full view of the suggested empires (similar to how you do on the Some Cool Rooms mod page)? It'd be easier than releasing/adding the prescripted empires and would allow folks to see the full flavor of the suggested empires. Either way, great mods! Use most of them in most of my playthroughs!

@Siollear both probably, but as with the latest updates by stellaris devs, somehow the modded portraits are always a bit bugged and wont spawn always

Will the AI use these portraits? Or only player / custom empires. They look great!

@mBrain Ah that is old in description, it should work for random species. But the recent update with portrait_categories somehow fumbled that a bit

thanks for the great mod. Could you tell me what line I need to remove in the species_classes script to enable for pre-ftl and random empires?

@Beast-Storm You are welcome ):)

The legacy version works nicely Hann3o Great work

I will give it a try Hann3o Thanks :)

@Beast-Storm there you go https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3312178437

@Beast-Storm Ahhh ok then it is no problem. I will upload a Legacy version rn

Its after I believe

Thanks for trying @Hann3o

@Beast-Storm Sorry can't figure it out. Maybe you can do a downgraded version yourself. 3.6. is so long ago, idk if it was before or after the hair selector stuff upgrade

@Beast-Storm Let me see, I will incoporate the script for older versions in the mod than it should work for all versions

I play a downgraded version of Stellaris at 3.6.1

When this mod was updated I don't see your species, they don't exist in my civilization species list save for a few civilization I created that still display them but I can't play them

Is it possible to create a completely separate mod to upload on Steam for a downgraded version, you don't have to update it continuously it can be a legacy version for 3.6.1 that'll remain unchanged?

I really enjoy this mod and love the creativity you put into it @Hann3o but now... i already miss them :(

@darksideresident13 dont worry, i will release a prescripted empire mod sometime. but rn busy with other stuff

Its too bad the pre-scripted empires weren't included, I'm too lazy to remake them... Also, I try not to mess with files because i don't know how. But, when I saw the cowboy portraits, I had to have this mod.

@Typical Lama @Crimson ReapeR Mod is Updated and now random generations aswell as custom empires work again flawlessly again (at least in my tests). All species are now moved to Humanoid / Machine Groups from the Vanilla game.

Has the species changed since the first upload of the mod? Bc fe. I have no steampunk specie but I do random afroamerican person from the 80's specie

##Mod will soon get the fix for the custom empire spawn. Sorry for the waiting guys, was busy with work :)

@Crimson ReapeR will try to fix that, sorry

this mod stops my custom empires from being spawned when i try to force spawn them with this mods portraits

@wancar Thank you

I found and saved this, from a comment in another portrait mod, in case I needed it myself for the future:
MindTheMesmer 2024-20 MAY @ 10:53 CEST
The latest update seems to have made each individual portrait a subset. If you (or the mod owner) is experiencing this, I fixed it by changing the file monstergirl_portrait_sets.txt to use the previously defined portrait groups, instead of manually listing each portrait. Like below:

Angel = {
species_class = Angel

portraits = {
Angel
}

# No conditional portraits specified
}

@wancar Thank you :) Well, I havent gotten further how to fix the species names. But if anyone has input, much welcomed

@Yes the portrait_set and categories thing worked. But whatever I change in the code lines. Species names dont work. They somehow changed them in a way like namelists. But no documentation on that.

This seems to be the word around:
"The way Stellaris handles portraits and groups for selection in the menus changed, so the mod won't work for anybody playing 3.12 and up....
... the vanilla files you'll want to refer to for the changes are in new folders called portrait_sets and portrait_categories".

Thank you for this discussion, very informative. Hoping to see you finding out how species names are handled in 3.12. I've seen at least other mod affected by this or similar issue... Can't remember the names now, but seems to be a pain for other established mods.
Good luck boss!

@Watchman :D
