When I select it, a machine trait appears as required trait, and only Machine Intelligence authority is available for selection

They can be selected with any species now

Are lithoids now unavailable as a race for these portraits? Only machines?

That's ok then. Managed to work around it either way (just need to add the species class descriptor into the save)

Sorry, but it had to be done

The species class change actually broke my old save. I don't think it was necessary ^^;

Maybe it's possible xD
There is much in it that double might be in it lol

294 also seems to be 126 but framed a lot more consistently with the majority of the portrait

I like some of the new additions.

I think 280 is the exact copy of 245 btw?

Thanks !
The mod have been updated for the 4.0 with few more portrait added as well ^^

amg look so cute

An update will come soon, with more portrait and full compatibility for the latest patch !

It work but there is few tweak to do

Like is it safe to use in 4.0? Some other portrait mods have made buildings vanish.

What do you mean Darkstar ?

<Obligatory 4.* check>

@Zanoss

Doublechecked with only the Polynian species mod. Yeah, the ship is still on the Biological section
I took the liberty to check what may cause this behavior, and from the looks of it, it seems that the ai_01 graphical culture, which you used for the shipset, does not have a ship_kinds entry. This may have caused it to get confused.

huh, well I'm gonna check that later

Are you sure it's not an issue or a conflit by another mod ?

Ahh
That's an issue indeed !
Will try to fix that asap

Yeah, although I'm kinda wondering if it causes some issues cuz my ship selection menu ALWAYS freezes when I open it

Also when I say 'Biological' I mean it's part of the meat ships for Biogenesis mod. The ships you use are obviously made of metal and not biomass XD

It's how it should be, I think
I don't like mechanical shipset tbh xD
I always use a custom shipset anyway when playing

@Zanoss noticed something : Polynian 'shipset' is listed as Biological for some reason

May I ask, what is the origin of Portrait 65? [Named Meda65 in files]

Thx, hope it will remain like this then ^^

@Zanoss checked on both internal file comparison and ingame empire creation menu. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual so far.

Update is here, don't hesitate to let me know if the mod is broken !

Normally, yes, I want this mod to be keep updated.
Let's hope it will not break everything lol

Will this mod be updated when 4.0 comes out btw? I hear they're changing a bit on how species portrait works, but I can't really remember

@glaxo17 I made a mod for it, but it's on friends only basis since I haven't asked permission about it or anything

Or a way to restrict what portraits are allowed?

Is there any way to switch which portrait a randomly generated leader is using?

is there no way to play with it as other then lithoid and machine? it would be really nice

Well, unless they changed how portrait work, it's very unlikely, but I need to check to see if it's a problem from the mod or on your side.

It seems like only the shipset option is appearing, but not the portraits. Is there a patch for this, could it be potentially due to the game being updated?

Sure no problem, even if I don't see why this mod needed a translation really x)

I made a new Chinese localization translation is here.Could you please add a link?

In the next update, why not after all, I'm not against it

Thank your for updating.
And, would you please make a plant version?
I really love this mod ,but sometimes I also want a start with organic or plant origin.

The first species portrait is so strange that even after all this time I still can't accept it.Upon closer examination, I realized that my uncomfortable feeling came from the incongruity of the portraits.The flat pattern of the head and the curves of the body are so incongruous that it is like hanging a 2d painting on top of a 3d model body to represent the head.Of all the portraits, this was the only one that struck me as distinctly incongruous and uncomfortable.Is it possible to correct this portrait pattern?

Hey mate, just so you know: you can let the new portraits have vanilla classes without putting them in the vanilla archetypes now. There is no more need to have a species_classes.txt file if you don't want to make something different from the vanilla ones! Check out how Tasty Maid: Portraits did it, I discovered this by looking at their files and it was mind blowing.

TY

Yeah I saw the problem, it should be fixed now !

i should clarify the lithoid version does work

the machine version of the species cannot be used as it does not "has the game_started flag". i also just noticed the other version is a lithoid though i'm pretty sure that was intentional and i have just missed it this whole time.

The mod have been updated for the current version !
We also added lots of new portrait as well =P
Please let me know if you encounter any issue !

I know it's not working right now, we're currently working on updating it !
Please be patient ^^
We will also add more portrait as well =P

Same, I'm not sure how to change it to function.

not work in 3.12

lol
