Kobb Tastic, Da boiz don kill evry un.

@Ranger I've sent you a friend request so we can get it figured out - thank you so much for the help!

@Deuceyart I fixed your code and set the species category right. Let me know whenever you want the fixes.

@Deuceyart I think I could help you with that if you'd like

@Ranger I wouldn't be opposed to that! And I'll figure out how to put it under the Reptilian category for the main mod as well for compatibility's sake.

@Deuceyart Hey I was wondering if you would be interested in a collaboration where we collect, maintain, and standardize portrait mods. I mention this because I love this mod but would love to see the Kobold published under the reptilian species category.

They've updated the species categories at this point so that's it's better for compatibility for civics and such to just add modded portraits into the default game sections instead of their own sections like people used to.

As for the sounds, I believe they are linked to the species group in the new format. If you add the portraits to reptilian for example it should play the respective sounds for them. When using a custom category though you have to manually link to one of the existing game sound groups or add in your own.

@Capitan Yeah, that's kind of the old way of doing portrait mods, having them separate, so I'll have to learn if I should just slap them in or keep them separate for any other mod incompatibilities. As for the renaming of the city set and ship sets... that's an issue with a lot of other species mods, so I'm not sure how to fix that. Everything should be fine, though! Selective Kinship would likely only make them kin with their own species, or if you have a trait mod that allows for the selection of which species are considered as kin.

The portraits are showing in their own kobold_species category instead of Reptilian, which I believe is the reason why they don't have a species sound. Also the Reptilian city set is renamed to Kobold City? Too worried about the category thing breaking civics like Selective Kinship to start a game with them, but it seems to be a great mod!

Just saw the Kobolds are lacking species sounds. Aside from that, great mod!

Once I figure it all out, that is

@Joyeuse No, kobolds just get everywhere. Like roaches.
And thank you @CaptainPiker ! I'll be putting that fix in with credit to you for that in the change log.

is "they're everywhere" a reference to the hit Marathon trilogy

After doing some experimentation, I managed to fix the mod! All I had to do was change portrait_categories folder name to portrait_sets and use this format for the kobold_portrait_sets:

reptilians = {
species_class = REP

portraits = {
"kobold"
}

non_randomized_portraits = {
"kobold"
}
}



After I did that, it worked just fine! I hope this helps!

I'm glad to hear it's still being worked on! I'm excited to see it working properly again!

@CaptainPiker Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I had no idea! I'll try to figure out how to fix it when I've got the time!

Unfortunately, the new update seems to have made it so custom portraits can no longer be listed in the way they used to be, so the kobold portrait cannot currently be selected for new empires, rendering the mod broken.

Please animate

Small update to fix the version number. Will fix the number again when 3.10 drops in a few days. No new updates (yet).

@White Fox To my knowledge, it should still work with the current patch number despite the launcher saying it's out of date.

is this gonna get updated again?

please make some precious gobbos

protect the kobolds

I love these lil guys and gals

beepy fellas

Its dragonwakin time

time to make the galaxy a little more silly

@Wolf I'm glad you enjoy it!

I love this mod, Thank you for your work

Sweet I'll send them to you

@Smoll Sea Slug I'm glad you enjoy the mod, and that is an interesting idea. I'll take a look at the references you have for them.

Also if I may make a suggestion, maybe aquatic Kobolds that look a little like sea slugs? I have art I’ve made if you’d like to see what I mean

You have just guaranteed me playing Stellaris, thank you

@Dommy Mommy It would have still worked with 3.8.1, but now it's updated for 3.8 so that it won't give any annoying warnings!

Update please :D

bolbs

My kobolds are protectors of the galaxy now :D

here is all the points i can give

I conquered the world within Anbennar in eu4 as Kobolds, now I can watch them expand into space, a much needed mod

Thanks!

i see, thanks for clarifying, and i did wanna say that the art is very good, it doesnt look very out of place for stellaris so thats a thing i can say about it, well done

@heinrich fishly With only me working on it, I'm unsure. I'm a simple artist, I don't do animation and meshes lol. I would be glad if anyone were willing to help out for that, or if I can set the money aside later on to commission it to be done, but for now, I don't plan on animating them myself.

is this ever gonna be animated?

UwU

space kobolds? im sueing for copyright infringement

Someone finally made a new Kobold Mod! Thank you so much

@GoatMutt They are listed in their own category.

Are these listed under the reptilian species? Or are they their own race category?

If you could make a goblin portrait set for stellaris it will be my most used mod :)

@Jon Throw, King of the 1k In WoW, they're weird misshapen rats, yeah. In D&D 3.5 and on, they were depicted as small draconic/dog creatures, leaning more to draconic, in Pathfinder 1e and 2e they are reptilian, etc. If you wanna go further back, in Germanic folklore, they were just little blue mine goblins lol
