Hello Everyone. I uploaded a up to date version of the mod using Reversed-Engineered Code from other mods, it should work now.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3298683088

@LocoArticWolf97 Go ahead and release it I'd say. It has been ages since this author has been active here

The author hasn't posted on this for 3 years now, so I say update and upload and give full credit to the dev for the mod itself.

I managed to update the mod by reverse-engineering the code from up to date Species Mods.
I wasn't that difficult since I figured it out and upload a Updated Helltaker Species Mod.
I want to give the Code to the Mod Author so they can update it but I also could just update/upload it myself. What Should I do?

Latest update has broken the mod, doesn't appear in species list anymore

@cyanidethewolf I see

@Winks1638 it only doesn't work when me and my friend try to use in it multiplayer. I might try testing it later on to see if maybe it was just bugging out last time.

@CyanidetheWolf that's strange I was just using it the other day and it worked just fine

For some reason the mod doesn't seem to be working on the newer version of the game, unfortunately

Is there a way to make you just pick the Lycan Species and have the leaders pick from all the images rather than have all our leaders look the same?

Portrait mods should be fine for awhile. Last change that broke them was 2.1 to 2.2 I think? If you want a better way to update mods on steam look up steamcmd, way better than the launcher.

I confess, it's been a while since i updated the number but it will be just this: Update the number and thank to paradox, it's a pain to update anything on steam.
I stopped to play Stellaris for months now so i don't know if i have to check to see if it's working fine.

Is there a recent version of this mod? it's outdated for version 2.0

Some mods doesn't affect IronMan.

For what i remember (i don't play the game since a year or two), putting any mod would break the ironman rule.
Maybe things have changed since but i'm not aware if it's the case.

Does this work with Ironman? I know It's only an esthetical change but I saw mods like this one, that were interrupting ironman.

Indeed, thanks for the tips.

@Yorae I've only touched a bit on modding myself but I've found that if you have both a local version and a workshop version installed then the game throws a hissy and doesn't load either. If you take the local mod's folder and it's .mod file out of the 'C:\Users\(Username)\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod' folder then the workshop version should start working

i don't know why it doesn't work normaly, but i have a solution:

Go to:
C:\Users\(Username)\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod

Create an empty folder with The Lycans - A wolf species portrait mod

Go to:
C:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\925597904

Copy the content to the newly created folder.

Copy the descriptor mod and put it in C:\Users\(Username)\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod

Rename it to:
The Lycans - A wolf species portrait mod.mod

Open it with Notepad or Wordpad
Add the line:
path="C:/Users/(Username)/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod/The Lycans - A wolf species portrait mod"

Don't forget to change (Username) with the one of your PC.

Frankly, i downloaded few others mods that add new races and i didn't found any differences with what i wrote.
It just works on a local disk but not with Steam.

It's strange, my mod in my local disk work fine but the same one from steam doesn't work at all.

There is probably a problem with the update system..... again. I'll see what i can do.

I'm getting a "This mod is missing a descriptor file" error and I cant enable it.

Thanks Yorae!

There is no texts added outside of the random names, so if you play in english you should not have any french text.
Updated to 2.8 by the way.

Is the Lycan mod in english when you open it or is it in french when you turn it on?

Anyone else the problem that the mod don't show in the mod selection and also not in the mod folder? (using 2.1.3)

While this fixes my problem along with adjusting the size and position, the "scale" setting affects other DLC race portraits as well.

Still, that solved my problem, a thousand thanks to ya. :D

Mmm, it works fine for me but i do have a solution.
First take note of this:
- I don't own Federation yet (waiting for a sale).
- I have no other mods installed so it's also quite possible there's an incompatibility.

Now the solution:
- Go to Steam\steamapps\workshop\content and try to find my mod.
- gfx\portraits\portraits and open 01_Lycan.txt

You should have right at the begininng this (that's my set up):
character = {

#2d Portrait position
icon = {
orientation = down
position = { x = 85 y = 0 }
scale = 1.0
}
}

Increase the x = 85 value by any number like 100 - 125 - 150 to move the icon to the right until you are satisfied.

The portraits look like this: They are sort of "scaled down" and aligned to the left.

Thanks. :)

Sized down? Is it possible to have a picture to see if it's a smaller size than mine.

I could search but not being a programmer, it's hard to tell if i can do something.

Hey, I really like your mod (and I doubt that I can play this game without it), but I think there is some problem with the mod in the game:

The portraits are very small and sized down somehow, I know you might be busy but can you help me look into it a bit?

Thanks. :)

I'am really clueless about your problem because i just test with a new game and an old save: My mod is working fine.
Maybe it's a problem on your side, are you running an older patch of the game? Some people prefer to run the 2.1 and 2.3 version of the game.

Update the lycan species no longer pops up fyi do not have federation

If there's a need to update the mod at the next patch, i'll do it. For the content, i have to find some pictures to add if i have the time to search.

Any update for this? Thanks!

I've been playing for three hours with this and Federations and it seems to all be fine.

As far as i can tell, it's still working.
I have to say that i am waiting to see if the upcoming Federation will broke everything again.

Is this still compatable?

Yes

Is this playable on 2.5?

How's the mod?

it works! thank you soo much :-)

!! for real? i have to try!

ok i rolled back to 2.3.3 to able to send an update.
I can confirm it works with 2.3.3 AND 2.1.3.

I will test the others builds at the end of the day (in France)

i'm smashing my head on the desk to find a solution as it's impossible to update my mod once again.
I tried to update the mod when the 2.5.1 came out but it failed.
I will try older versions of the launcher tomorrow to see what can be done.

@zyni i agree this mod is one of my core mods for stellaris, it not the same with out the wolves

@vmjbm please update when able, i hope you'll be able to find a way around the problem that is occuring and get is working again. i really appreciate the work you've done and have enjoyed your mod thus far

hi vmjbm,

thanks for trying. i really appreciate it.

So if i want to play the game again i have to overcome my hate for 2.3. *sigh*.

Either that or not playing. Can't play without the wolves anymore.

paradox fucked everything

Sorry, but when i reverted to 2.1.3 in order to adapt the mod, it simply didn't work anymore and i don"t know why.
It's not that i don't want, but i can't. Taking a look at the forum, it seems that some people tried the same thing and fail.

@Vmjbm

and now it doesn't work anymore with 2.1.3 ..

i really hate 2.3. and don't want to play it. Any possibility that you can make it workable with 2.1.3 and 2.4. ?

greetings

yay, thank you for your time and effort!
