Adding New Portraits
I've seen someone ask if I'd add support for another mod via adding portraits myself, and the honest to god answer is that I don't know if I could do that, because if I added support for one, what's exactly the reason behind not adding support for another one? There's so many mods out there with achievements that it's kind of a lofty task to make artwork for all of them and, on top of that, if they're not using repentogon, to look into their code to find a special way to detect unlocks.
I wouldn't completely deny the possibility of me adding new portraits, but it's not likely at the moment.

Because of that, I decide it'd be better if adding new portraits was possible from the other mods' side, if you have a mod with achievements and would like for it to have a portrait, you can add it yourself now! And the process is very easy.

A tutorial [docs.google.com] for how to add portraits yourself is now available, if anything about it isn't clear or is confusing, please do tell me here so I can try to improve it.

The basics of making a new portrait are as it follows:

a) A sprite of a specific size to act as the portrait's illustration (what its size should be is explained in further detail in the google doc)

b) a smaller, 48x48 sprite to work as a menu select icon on the left side of the screen.

c) Achievements from your mod

d) A lua file detailing information about your achievements (it involves only filling out a few variables, things such as the position of each achievement on the grid are automated so you won't have to worry about calculating those at all) (it must also be done with a template thats explained in the google doc)

e) calling a function with two parameters within your own mod near the start up of the game.


If you end up adding support for your mod and make artwork for an achievement portrait, please say so here! I'd love to see it :steamhappy:
