only works with non legendary pilots

This works well with the Fake ID mod to assign portraits to your pilots (and change their name and nickname). Deactivate that mod before starting a mission though or it will crash the game.

Mod stop working after starting new campaighn pilots return to their default portraits. Trying to reinstal mod useless

Can you apply this to the player portrait or are these just the AI pilots?

@BigHorse

I understand. This and the male version of this mod are bot great. Thank you. Is there a way to create even more portraits? Maybe use the portrait creator from the Battletech game or some other source, to help replace the ones with helmets still? :)

@BigHorse

Ah, that is understandable c:
Yes, as my game went on I saw a much greater variety of portraits. Thanks for the mod!

mr_who_42 and 2chuu4u ,

Sorry I haven't been on here in quite a while.
There are many more vanilla portraits in the game than the ones that I have done. Mine are replacements for some of the vanilla portraits, so you will see them just as randomly as the vanilla ones that remain.

Hallo, I am having a similar issue as mr_who_42. I think I've seen one portrait from this pack and the rest are still default. Is there a method to installation a new player such as myself might be missing? Or are there just that many portraits in the game?

Thanks!

I mean it's neat but a bit jarring to have them pulled from such differing art styles, the low-res ones in particular are out of place as hecc..

Works great. Got a pilot that looks like the mod pic from the Kestral DLC. Great mod.

Thank you for this mod. Is there a way to force the game to use alternate portraits? I installed both your male and female mods but seems like it only changed maybe a 1/3 of my pilots. The rest are still ugly helmets.

thank you so much for the thread, this will hopefully be a huge help

Xavius-

While I'm certainly no expert, I always try to help others, because I have received help in the past when trying to learn how to mod.
I'm providing a link to the thread I started in the Workshop Discussion forums. The folks responding deserve all credit, even tho I couldn't find (as you'll see when you read) the button that was right in front of my eyes, LOL. I did eventually find that button, and all is well.

Here's the link-

I'm trying to make my own custom portrait set of my friends but I can't figure out the mod editor at all. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello !
Thanks for this mod !
Can you add all the portrait of all Gears of War 5, male and female, and maybe Locusts ones, please ?
Is that even possible ?
Thank you in advance. :D

Jivebot, Yes
Jivebot 16 Jul, 2021 @ 4:28pm 
Do these replace existing portraits on random pilots? Even ones already hired?
BigHorse  [author] 10 Jul, 2021 @ 3:24am 
LOL, Sorry Bro, but I,m kind of a Salty old dude and come across a bit abrasively.
Maybe because I see others talking down on modders (I'm just a rookie!) when they have no appreciation for the work it takes, (especially with this MONSTER of a tool kit) just to learn the process.
Once again, my apologies :steamthumbsup:

It doesnt bother my conscience man and I'm sorry it seems like I meant it in a bad way. I was just trying to say that what you did was so simple but it made the game feel much better. Also hence the award I gave yesterday.. so far this is the only mod I run. Again my appologies for sounding negative it was not my intention.
BigHorse  [author] 8 Jul, 2021 @ 2:48am 
Well Librarian, if it bothers your conscience enough to post about it here, then by all means, please DON'T use this mod.
Chief Librarian Tigurius 7 Jul, 2021 @ 9:19pm 
Even though its just some stolen pictures it still makes it feel much better than the base games female avatars.
Dexadrinne 5 Jul, 2021 @ 11:06pm 
Wonderful portraits! Looking forward to more to fill up the blanks.
ToXeR 30 Jun, 2021 @ 7:44am 
Good job! The 4th portrait (from the left) in the upper row looks a bit out of place. Everything else is great.
