update pls

GeneralMacek, any mod that changes the character files will conflict with this one. E.g. French Generals, Historical portraits. You can try to change the load order in your browser but one mod will simply overwrite the other. Linear XP Gain should be OK as that's just a LUA file, although this mod was made with the original XP gain in mind, so the Linear XP will likely see generals rapidly grabbing traits. There is, unfortunately, no way around the character file conflicts without making dozens of patches for every possible combination. Best bet is to try a load order based on your own priorities and see what works.

I am also using Historical portraits. Is that an issue too?
GeneralMacek 2 Jun @ 10:26am 
I might have an issue the generals are not showing up.

I use Linear XP Gain for Generals and French Generals rework, Wolfenstein Characters, some TNO generals and unique generals in my modpack for Germany.

Do I need to take all of them out for this mod to work?
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 2 Jun @ 7:55am 
Big update for CHI and PRC. Added more generals and admirals for FRA. (1940 and Free French). Many thanks to talented artists who are credited above.

@Vincent: Thank you. I would think this should work OK if loaded after EAI, since most of their character changes are AI weight. But never can tell; it's a big overhaul mod.

@Imperator: Bittrich working fine on my end, in fact, I think he's the only one who doesn't come with Himmler inner circle. This sounds like a conflict.
Imperator of Rome 31 May @ 10:09am 
What happened to the SS Officer trait? It's missing, and so is Wilhelm Bittrich.
Mr.Manga 30 May @ 8:46pm 
There's portraits for Guan Linzheng & Huang Wei in the mod's files, but they don't appear in-game. I was wondering if they were planned on being added in the future, or if this is a similar case to that folder of unused chinese generals.
Vincent 30 May @ 6:33pm 
Absolutely amazing mod. Just really wish it worked with Expert AI, though I understand why these things are rarely the case.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 1 Apr @ 2:48pm 
Both mods utilize the same files. You'd have to build a hybrid from scratch, and also check each portrait because it would be a mixture of B&W photos and color painted art. Unfortunately, not a possibility. Also, did a bunch of testing to see how a RT56 patch would go. It would be a big job with lots of error checking. Not saying never, but definitely not soon.
Beaver Mafia 31 Mar @ 7:27pm 
Can you make this mod compatible with Historical Portraits?
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 29 Mar @ 7:10pm 
Updated to 1.16.4. Bugfixes.
Imperator of Rome 22 Mar @ 2:03pm 
Me waiting for someone to make a RT56 compatch for this: [skeleton sitting at table tapping fingers]
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 22 Mar @ 12:13pm 
Updated for 1.16.2. Himmler gets ss trait (by hidden event so this may take a minute after he spawns). Von der Goltz is fixed; they added an OR block. Ordo, nothing yet on generals for country packs. If PDX failed to provide sufficient generals for expanded nations again, I'd have to start by looking for good color portraits.
Ordoprinceps 22 Mar @ 7:40am 
Coach, I have been playing the new DLC "graveyards". I started with Iran and they really need more generals. Probably the others do two. Do you intend to add any for those four countries?
Mr.Manga 21 Mar @ 11:18pm 
Hi, I noticed while playing cossack/bermontian poland, the field marshall rudiger von der goltz doesn't appear with this mod. You're supposed to get them along with avalov through a focus.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 9 Mar @ 6:32pm 
yeah
Crayon_Cruncher 9 Mar @ 5:38pm 
Now that Field Marshal Himmler is gained through a focus can he have the SS trait?
thanks brother:steamthumbsup:
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 4 Mar @ 11:32am 
Updated to 1.16.0. Added Navarini and Nasci to ITA per request.
Thank you so much!
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 9 Feb @ 9:26am 
@ste.doro - I found portraits for Nasci and Nevarini and will see about adding for next update. Nothing yet for the others.
thanks for the wonderful mod! I wanted to ask you if you could add these generals for Italy:Giuseppe De Stefanis - Enea Navarini - Gabriele Nasci -Luigi Reverberi -Gastone Gambara
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 2 Jan @ 9:35am 
Updated. Let me know if they are not working.

Playing as germany and all of the naval / aerial scientists are gone (tested with only this mod on so doesn't seem like a conflict).
Imperator of Rome 25 Dec, 2024 @ 8:12pm 
To those who want to play RT56 with this mod, which includes me; Don't.

It breaks the game in more ways than just locking out a few generals and advisors. It's also causing an unavoidable CTD to occur in late July of '37. At least that's when I get hit with it. Four different runs has yielded a different date it hits me, but they're all in late July of '37. This is an issue of which the cause had confounded me for the past several days.

Until someone decides to step up and make a compatibility mod with this for RT56, something something Coach has explicitly given the blessing for at least twice now; don't play RT56 with this mod on.
firedevlin 25 Dec, 2024 @ 10:25am 
Noticing some scientists disappear.
Imperator of Rome 21 Dec, 2024 @ 8:22pm 
@Mr.Manga I'm playing as Italy rn, noticed that too.
Mr.Manga 21 Dec, 2024 @ 5:19pm 
Enrico Frattini & Mario Girotti's names are displaying as ITA_enrico_frattini and ITA_mario_girotti respectively
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 21 Dec, 2024 @ 9:26am 
Updated for newest version 1.15.3. Some improvements for ITA. I checked in game and had no crashes or missing characters so let me know if you spot anything. Can visit ETH after New Year's, am likely to update later in JAN after next PDX update.
Bellone 21 Dec, 2024 @ 1:01am 
Ethiopia focus gives three improvisors with equipment acquiring buff.

Is this mod also considering and modified that?
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 20 Dec, 2024 @ 11:16am 
Fixed. Thanks for posting the errors, somber and manga.
sombertownDS 20 Dec, 2024 @ 4:34am 
for some reason this gets rid of most of canada and britians advisors which is a real shame
Mr.Manga 19 Dec, 2024 @ 10:35pm 
Hi again! Canada's political ministers have disappeared for some reason. I think its just canada, as the other majors and commonwealth nations have their advisors/ministers.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 17 Dec, 2024 @ 2:58pm 
Cleveland, I very much appreciate your generous offer, but I cannot spare the time to not only create the rt56 patch, but also be responsible for continuously updating it with every new iteration of both the game and the mod. If someone does want to work on a patch, I would be glad to offer assistance on what needs to be addressed.
Imperator of Rome 15 Dec, 2024 @ 2:34pm 
@Turov
Elaborate.
Sgt.Ostfront 15 Dec, 2024 @ 2:23pm 
NOT work !!
Cleveland 12 Dec, 2024 @ 8:34am 
Will you do a R54 compatch if I buy you a few DLCs?
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 10 Dec, 2024 @ 3:58pm 
I would like to do Spain, but I am woefully ignorant on Spanish generals during and after the civil war. The plan is to to update the guys already there, but to add more I'd need some info on who else should be there, and then have quality portraits for them.

I did redo Italy a few weeks ago so that will be in the next update.
luisoran 6 Dec, 2024 @ 7:36am 
Any plan for Spain generals? please :-)
Shiori 22 Nov, 2024 @ 4:41pm 
I wish leaders could get traits by chance, instead of only filling the experience bar, which is so predictably boring and always the same. For example the 1st time a leader gets desert exp there could be a 1% chance he's a desert fox. When he gets to 10% exp there's another chance, and so on.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 22 Nov, 2024 @ 11:31am 
This has been rolled back to 1.15, which is working on my end. The latest patch destroyed this mod when I tried to update it. I ain't touching it again at least until their next update.
ereb 22 Nov, 2024 @ 9:09am 
CTD
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 20 Nov, 2024 @ 12:06pm 
The traits should work but the generals won't as they are likely in the saved game data. Probably won't crash your game but won't update generals and advisors.
Imperator of Rome 20 Nov, 2024 @ 11:41am 
Is it safe to re-enable this mod mid-game?
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 20 Nov, 2024 @ 11:17am 
Updated for 1.15. Let me know if you run into issues.
majestatix 18 Nov, 2024 @ 5:06am 
Please UPDATE ?!!:steamthis:
Imperator of Rome 17 Nov, 2024 @ 7:00pm 
I do think August von Mackensen should be replaced with Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. imo
Imperator of Rome 17 Nov, 2024 @ 5:43pm 
Wonderful news!
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 17 Nov, 2024 @ 2:02pm 
Just got back home and started work. Shouldn't be too long. Will only do one test game (likely GER) to make sure no crashes. If you have opinions on vanilla generals locked behind focus trees, let me know.
Imperator of Rome 16 Nov, 2024 @ 12:17pm 
How are things looking so far?
