Hey, can you update the mod for 1.5.4?

Alright, i changed the Hapsburg portrait myself. Problem is you can't mod it. It can only be changed by replacing the DLC portrait with a different one of the same name. That worked for me.

@nightlisious
Like any other portrait you need to know which name the file has and then name the new portrait the same after you put it into the folder of the country you want to change.
The DLC portraits have a different file format though (and thus different names) so you need to change all event and national focus codes to your portrait name and file format.
This worked for Together for Victory but somehow not for Death or Dishour. That's why I couldn't change Habsburg (NOT Hapsburg) portrait yet.
I will work at this mod again after Waking the Tiger because it will probabably mess everything up and thus changing the mod now is a waste of time

@Kaiser2G I've come to wonder how exactly someone could change one of the Death or Dishonor portraits, could you tell me how exactly?
b1g st1nk3r 4 Jan, 2018 @ 11:45am 
Is the Hapsburg portrait done? Last I checked it was still the same vanilla portrait
Gardist  [author] 12 Dec, 2017 @ 9:12am 
@nightlisious the original portrait belongs to the DLC Death or Dishonour so you need to search for it in the DLC files
b1g st1nk3r 8 Dec, 2017 @ 9:50am 
May I ask how you changed Michael I's portrait? I'm trying to change it myself, but I can't seem to find it.

@Glosur
China has leaders for all ideologies. Which mods do you use besides mine?
Glosur 2 Dec, 2017 @ 10:55pm 
So is it just me or does china have no leaders other than Chiang? Everyone else is Generic I would have thought that would have been one of the first places to add new leaders
Gardist  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 3:00pm 
@President Eden
no

@CyXaPuK
I know about this problem but I have no idea how to fix it

@Orwell2017
I will look what i can do
Tian 12 Nov, 2017 @ 10:50am 
Is it ironman Compatible?
CyXaPuK 12 Nov, 2017 @ 5:01am 
There is no Russian neutral leader
b1g st1nk3r 10 Nov, 2017 @ 12:41pm 
The communist French leader doesnt seem to work
Glosur 22 Oct, 2017 @ 1:05pm 
It's a shame because I use Non-Aligned all the time xD
Gardist  [author] 22 Oct, 2017 @ 1:01pm 
@Glosur
idk why some doen't work. It seems to be random sometimes but since non-aligned isn't often used, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

The thing is that I often can't find out problems beause some files (especially newer ones) are so goddamn messy which makes it difficult to pinpoint code mistakes.
Paradox should really tiden up their coding mess lol
Glosur 22 Oct, 2017 @ 12:00pm 
Cool, Croatia non aligned doesnt work ,sadly.
Gardist  [author] 22 Oct, 2017 @ 5:15am 
@Glosur
Not much because I have barely any time. Just put together some leftover portraits from July and updated the mod to 1.4.2

all changes I can remember:

-USA non-aligned
-Russia non-aligned (the portrait doesn't work though and I haven't figured out why yet)
-Japan and its puppets non-aligned
-Siam fascist (It didn't work before but now I solved the problem)
-Croatia all leaders,a few generals and one admiral
-Serbia generals (portraits don't show though, same problem as with russia)
-Estonia and latvia missing leaders + 2 Estonian generals
-Some South and Central American portraits
-Belgium non-aligned
-Luxemburg all missing ideologies
-fixed communist Belarus problem
-a new polish field marshal which I recently found out about xd

When patch 1.5 arrives, I will probably do a relaunch of the mod because this mod has already more than it was supposed to. This relaunch is gonna have alot more generals and maybe admirals for more (or all) nations

What did the new update add?
Gardist  [author] 29 Sep, 2017 @ 1:55am 
@jdexpress6842
That's a great idea. I will look into it when I have time
Jdexpress 26 Sep, 2017 @ 7:41pm 
Wlii random pictures be added for leaders randomley picked like when you sclect New commander
rickiu23 2 Sep, 2017 @ 9:24am 
Great Portraits!!! I m loving it!:steamhappy:
Gardist  [author] 23 Aug, 2017 @ 7:10am 
@ceo it works with the newest patch
ceo 23 Aug, 2017 @ 7:03am 
This is one of my all time favorite mods... Thank you! Will it be updated for 1.42 Oak?
FlyingCatPlane 19 Aug, 2017 @ 1:12am 
Strom Thurmond could be a neutral usa leader, he was pro segregation.
Gardist  [author] 9 Aug, 2017 @ 1:37pm 
@Schumacher2016
Probably not
Ragnar1941 9 Aug, 2017 @ 1:24pm 
Hi is this mod compatible with Black Ice mod ?
Glosur 2 Jul, 2017 @ 2:39pm 
Idea: Ioannis Metaxas was a fascist sympathiser, either you can add him directly to a fascist party, or make an event to put him in power over the current leader.
Gardist  [author] 30 Jun, 2017 @ 1:33pm 
I will update the mod tomorrow.

Italian and japanese leader will change according to the new portraits made by paradox. I won't change the japanese communist leader though cuz I didn't find a good quality portrait of the new one.

Also thinking about changing the german communist leader from Wilhelm Pieck to Ernst Thälmann
Gardist  [author] 25 Jun, 2017 @ 1:17pm 
@Breaking Benches
The only goal of this mod is to change the portraits. Anything beyond that would just reduce compatibility with other mods which I want to avoid.
Blasfemiparagraffen 25 Jun, 2017 @ 9:37am 
non - aligned should be called von Hohenzollern but other than that great mod keep it updated :)
Aschenbrenner 24 Jun, 2017 @ 7:07am 
the best i could say would be to switch the Facsists to non-aligned and make German American Bund the new Fascists with Fritz Julius Khun as their leader. Other than that I dont know.
Gardist  [author] 24 Jun, 2017 @ 2:32am 
@Aschenbrenner
Do you know of any US politician who could serve as a CSA leader?
Huey P. Long died in 1935 so he can't possibly be in HoI4
Gardist  [author] 24 Jun, 2017 @ 2:28am 
@Daddy Putin
I don't know much about the Kaiserreich lore and none of the party leaders in Russia had something to do with Kyril.
Gardist  [author] 24 Jun, 2017 @ 2:27am 
@Aschenbrenner

Paradox rly failed at the neutral US.
Name: Confederate States
Flag: has a crown
Ideology: Centrism

Paradox wtf???
Aschenbrenner 23 Jun, 2017 @ 6:02pm 
USA neutral leader would be Huey P. Long, but he wouldnt lead the CSA so if you do add him please change to Kingdom of America.
gytten1921 23 Jun, 2017 @ 6:57am 
USSR neutral leader could be Kyril or what ever he's called. It's one of the czars in Kaiserreich for Russia.
Gardist  [author] 22 Jun, 2017 @ 11:54am 
@Devillris
I am planning to finish them soon. Some already have leaders for the major ideologies but information for the rly small ones is rare and the fact that Paradox thought using random generated leaders would solve the problem doesn't help either
DevilIris 22 Jun, 2017 @ 9:50am 
How about the american minors?
Fishstick 17 Jun, 2017 @ 8:16am 
excellent :D
