Animated Dragon Portrait

@ph00nix that should be fine by me

"Greetings @promilie, I'm writing to you again as a great admirer of your portrait mod. I am currently working on a mod of my own and would be most grateful if I could incorporate your portraits into it. You would, of course, be fully credited with a link to this page. Thank you for your time and consideration."

update please

@Ever Universe Thanks, I succeeded after using your method, but still hope this mod will be updated soon

Please update

@Promilie; I have read in the description that you are unable to update this mod due to issues on your end. With your permission, I can maintain your mod up-to-date with Stellaris versions.

After a few minutes of documentation, I have fixed the mod. Carefully follow the instructions, it is essential that you do everything I did, otherwise it might break:

Step 1 : Remove the species_archetypes folder (it is not needed, as Dragons belong in the vanilla BIOLOGICAL archetype anyway)

Step 2 : Copy and paste this into the "00_draconic_species_classes.txt" file within the "species_classes" folder (make sure you completely replace everything):

Draconic = {
archetype = BIOLOGICAL

possible = {
authority = {
NOT = {
value = auth_machine_intelligence
text = SPECIES_CLASS_MUST_NOT_USE_MACHINE_INTELLIGENCE
}
}
}

graphical_culture = reptilian_01
move_pop_sound_effect = "reptilian_pops_move"

resources = {}
}

Step 3 : Add a new folder within the "common" folder named "portrait_categories"

Step 4 : Add a new .txt file within the "portrait_categories" folder named "zz_dragon_portrait_categories" and paste this into the file:

Draconic = {
name = Draconic

sets = {
Draconic
}
}

Step 5 : Add a new folder within the "common" folder named "portrait_sets"

Step 6 : Add a new .txt file within the "portrait_sets" folder named "zz_dragon_portrait_sets" and paste this into the file:

Draconic = {
species_class = Draconic

portraits = {
"dragon"
}
}

And that's it, it should work now, as it did for me.

Second, the game file. It can be located by the path: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stellaris\common\portrait_sets

Open file: 00_portrait_sets

Locate the section:
reptilians = {

Underneath, "rep5" insert a new line [IE press enter]

In the new line, enter the text (including the quotation marks):
"dragon"

Then save the document.


With that you should see that the portrait appears in the reptile category when the game launches with the mod subscribed.
NOTE: I have no clue whether this will work for multiplayer or not, so attempt at your own discretion.

First, the modded file. You can locate this via either the stellaris launcher, by going to playsets, clicking the 3 dots and clicking show in folder (as long as the file is subscribed in the steam workshop). From there go through the path gfx\portraits\portraits. Open the file: 00_draconic_portrait_groups

In the file remove the line:
# Draconic

Then save the file.

(Note: the file may also be located with the path:
SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\2893752931)
