Important bug
-I use some workaround dirty trick to add images, so in different localizations my mod has different tooltip width. If you see duplicated image, please tell me what localization you are using. If it's not official one, I need to install the same (language).po file and find out correct settings.
- refer to discussion thread
Creating your own extension
- This version supports up to 676 portraits, 676 races, 2 genders = 913 952 unique captain tooltips
- you just need to add several .png files and specify your number of portraits and races in the config file
- go to Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\445220\3230453574\data\scripts\lib\capConfig.lua
- open it with any text editor (like windows' default one)
- everything you need will be there
Uploading your mod
- add dependency in your modinfo.lua

dependencies = {
{id = "3230453574", max = "2.7.1"},
{id = "Avorion", max = "2.*"}
},

- change the Config to match your races and portraits
- delete everything except the Config and your folders with images
- upload your mod
Compatibility
- Avorion ver. 2.5
- the mod can be installed / uninstalled safely mid-playthrough.
- you need to find new captains if you are planning to keep your save
- the old captains will be using default tooltips
- client - side only
- custom captain name generator, incompatible with captain names without at least 1 letter
Discord for discussion, bugs, etc.

Thank you! was able to figure it out through your description on the file

Yes, you can specify your race as males only, females only, or both. Different races can be set up differently
Slamurmum 9 Mar @ 4:21pm 
is it possible to add just males as captains when creating your own portrait packs?

thank you, i still love the mod. I will use the switcher, so it's not a big problem. :steamthumbsup:

If captain name (not nickname) changes, the portrait will change. Also several races may have females or males only. In normal circumstances if race has single gender, the captain will be generated with that gender. I suppose that "A Lost Friend" can bypass that

I use Oh My Captain,

When doing "A Lost Friend" mission, after you saved the captain, the preview showed female, but when the captain joined me, the captain changed into male...

And when talking to the quest giver, it doesn't matter if they said he or she. The portraits don't follow that dialog. I guess it is random when you pick them up.

But the preview is not the same is kind of a bummer XD

Sadly, there are no chances to add sound to the tooltips, as well as any other non-tooltip things
