Welcome back to Stellaris!
By the way, with 2.0, AI also use NEP species but its empire is "nameless".
I made quick patch to name AI NEP empire, and it seems good.

I'm very happy if you merge/improve this patch to your MODs, thanks.

I decided to comeback and take a look. Updated mod now it works with 2.0.* versions. I didn't test it that much though, so if you find any bugs write here I may be able to fix(no promises).

@Reinhard
Thanks for fixing it, but I won't play this game anymore so it would be better if you merge and upload it yourself, so if it needs another fix in the future you can fix and update it yourself. Like I said before, I won't be playing & updating mod packs anymore.

Ok, I made a patch to adapt this mod to 1.8.0.

It seems work.
Many thanks for this original mods, furkanmeral7.
If you want to update, I'm happy if you merge my patch.

No, I wasn't aware. I didn't played this game for a while now.

I would like to fix it but I can't. Its too much time consuming to try fixing and starting the game which loads main menu in 10 minutes( that is without any mod, with mods its up to 30 minutes). And if fix doesn't work repeat this process again. I hope you understand me(english isn't my main language).

@everyone
Since I am not playing this game anymore for the reason I stated above, I won't be updating both of my mod packs. Feel free to do whatever you want with them.

The new portraits are classified in Hyperdimension. Which doesn't have any traits in version 1.8. I'm sure you're already aware of this.

@[ ❀ - Nepu - ❀ ]
I don't understand problem. Immortal leaders trait not working?
Anyway, I can't fix it. For some stupid reason my game takes ages to load main menu.

Have to wait on the stellris team to hotfix it since thier coding did not worked as planed

Any chance fixing the traits problem? Or is there already a solution to this. Since the portraits are classified in a tab without traits.

@机械教护教军/Skitarii
I don't know how to do that, sorry.

could u please add the portraits to the machine index?

@O N T H E R I G H T
I played the game a little bit and mod was working fine so I only changed version number.

Update pls

@Tannu
if you don't like immortal leaders trait then do not use it. I mean you don't have to really, just don't pick that trait. And for shares if you don't want share energy resource you can delete it yourself.

Go to steam directory--> Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\813662652\nepmodpack2.zip
Inside zip file open "common" folder and delete 2 folders named "deposits" and "strategic_resources"

I would make a version but I am kind of sick right now and my internet speed is shit.

I like this mod but I don't like the "immortal leaders" trait and the "share energy" strategic resource because they feel like cheats. Could you make a version without these?

@NEVEC DARKBLADE
Oh that one. Thats because I added a lot of portraits myself

@furkanmeral7 https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=682806037

@Olden_bread
Thanks for link.
I saw that before but don't understand that kind of programs sadly.
What I do know is they are difficult/time consuming to learn and I am too lazy for that.
If you want animated portraits so much you should probably ask people who made custom 3D models(like ships, stations etc.)
Actually I was thinking of downloading sfm. Maybe I will do it myself in the future when I learn animating programs

@furkanmeral7
I think I found guide to animate sprites:

@NEVEC DARKBLADE
which mod were you using?

@Olden_bread
Well that sucks.
If you mean you want only ruler as nep and leave others vanilla (leaders and pops) that is possible but I don't know how to do that since I am not into coding that much. But if you want to try it yourself you need to edit "gfx\portraits\portraits\01_nepmodpack_portraits.txt" file inside nepmodpack2.zip

Is there a way to make nep-sprite ruler and vanilla-sprites for all others?

@furkanmeral7 I'm saying the other Nep Mod I was using (One that wasn't yours) doesn't have the same pops as yours.

@furkanmeral7
It does not seem to work properly since I lost immortality trait completly.

trait_Immortality {
cost = 1
modifier = { leader_age = 2000000 }
Using is_ai = no
leader_trait = yes
leader_class = { ruler }
}

@NEVEC DARKBLADE
What do you mean it doesn't have pops like mine?
I just created a game using Rei and made it a slaver empire and pops were working.

@furkanmeral7 Thanks a bunch. Running a slaver empire with the other Nep mod using Rei, but it doesn't have the pops like yours has.

@Older_bread
Also I don't know if this works but you can make immortality for rulers only.
Haven't tested but it should work.

Go to steam directory--> Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\813662652\nepmodpack2.zip

Inside zip file open common\traits\01_species_traits.txt

Now add this code after line 7(modifier line)

leader_trait = yes
leader_class = { ruler }

Thats it. Let me know if it works or not.

@furkanmeral
Thx

@Olden_bread
I don't know how to make animated sprites.
And for shares if you don't want share energy resource you can delete it yourself.

Go to steam directory--> Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\813662652\nepmodpack2.zip
Inside zip file open "common" folder and delete 2 folders named "deposits" and "strategic_resources"

Now it should work as you want.

Can you create a version with animated sprites and immortality for ruler only? Without shares.

@NEVEC DARKBLADE
Added now.

@NEVEC DARKBLADE
She is already there. But not as ruler just regular leader.
I am going to add her as ruler now.

Is Rei Ryghts going to be added?

@NEVEC DARKBLADE
No you don't need anything. Its just very rare (tested with medium sized galaxy(600 stars) and there was maximum 6 or 7 share energy resource). If you are not sure if mod is working or not, start a new game and use "observe" console command as soon as game starts and check if there is any share energy on the map.

Do you need anything in specific to get share energy to appear? I'm just getting errors in my log, and haven't seen it appear anywhere.

Nah, just my mods made them OP as fuck.

@Kirigiri I am glad you found the problem. So if I add more language support somehow that problem won't occur I guess. But what is wrong with fallen empire? I don't remember doing anything related to fallen empires.

Mr author. Information for future situations like that. The problem was in LANGUAGE. I didn't changed it to english, that is why I had such bugs. :) Another problem is fallen empire fllet 849K vs 15K, but I will do it by myself. :)

@Kirigiri
Sorry I wasn't able to reproduce the bug you encountered. If restarting the game does not solve the issue try to ignore it or start a new game maybe your save file is corrupted somehow. Other than that I have no idea what to do and never saw a problem like that while playing the game.

Okay, I dont have it named as"share energy", but something like that "share_energy_something"

@Kirigiri
Bugged how? More details please.

I got share energry name bugged

@Midori_312 I am open to suggestions.

share energy too imba
