your mod makes characters more realistic. thx for ur great unbelievable work!

7/19/2025 - Confirmed working. Check other mods if game isn't working.

ok, thanks!

@Khazukan Kazakit-ha! : it's not exactly "needed" anymore since CA made substantial changes/improvements to 3D portholes with the 5.0 update (the comparison image in the mod description is no longer representative of the current state of the game, I'm just too lazy to change it out). However, the skin tones in vanilla still look a little off to me, now with a reddish rather than blue tint in most cases, so I keep the mod available for those who prefer it to CA's portholes.

is this still needed?

@DaciaJC: Thanks for the answer, but it seems this table is responsible for the porthole in battle. And not on the global map.

@iposkakali : I think you'll find those types of values under db.pack > unit_porthole_camera_settings_tables. Cross-reference with main_units_tables, which has a column listing which porthole camera a given character or unit uses.

Sorry for being off topic, but maybe you know the name of the table for changing the view range in the character's porthole on the campaign map?

Highest honor to have CA try to obsolete your mod.

@Superbed2 : thank you for the reminder, should show as updated now.

update?

Hopefully one day they can all get subsurface scattering so their skin is less plasticy

@Wei : I am considering it. With CA's new portholes, some characters like Karl Franz look improved due to the adjusted shadow from his helmet, for example, but others such as the Fay Enchantress look a bit off. I'll have to devote some time to testing, perhaps next week.

Will you adjust your light position if you havne't already. The photo on the mod page shows a strong shadow from franz helmet, and it would probably look better with light from the side/front

Ok good work legend

@Oh_Man[TFE] : the main differences are CA changed the sun's azimuth (instead of the porthole light source shining directly from the top, now it comes from the left) to create more dramatic facial shadowing; they tweaked some ambient color values to imitate light bouncing in shadowed areas; and characters now look more reddish than before, as if the sun were setting.

On the whole, I'd definitely say it's an improvement compared to launch. In fact, one of the changes they did made me realize I had originally neglected to adjust a certain value, so I just now updated the mod again to achieve a slightly more neutral skin tone.

So what did the 'fix' actually do, if anything?

yeeeaah... the official fix from CA ist trash. I cant even tell the difference from before I was using your mod lmao.

the so-called fix is still ick, keep updating this mod please.

the so-called fix is still ick, keep updating this mod please.

Source for CA apparently fixing this?

Apparently they "fixed" the lighting again in the upcoming 5.0 patch. But it remains to be confirmed on how much better it is compared to this mod.

Goodbye sweet Prince

Nice one!

@Canis Lupus : do you mean the character details/inventory screen? The lighting changes apply there as well, fortunately.

Could you do this for the character screen?

@Dragon32 thanks！

@不,开玩笑
It's RPFM on Github.

Nice work，thank you！please put up the download link of the software to adjust the value, or fix a suitable value, the persona's skin often turns to black QAQ

Such a small thing in the grand scheme of the game, but I can't help but appreciate how much more 'premium' my legendary lords look now. Hats off!

Great mod, I always remembered the porthole to be great in WH1. I have no clue why CA never adressed this

@soulmindproductions : it should be compatible with SFO, I played a full C.Dwarfs campaign with both enabled without issue.

@Nerevarine : might it be another mod that's causing the conflict? I don't think anything here should affect that UI element. I tested new campaigns as Kairos and Belakor with just this mod enabled and didn't encounter crashes when hovering over the WoM bar.

This won't work with SFO, or does it?

This mod causes a crash if you hover over the winds of magic thresholds of any daemonic faction in the campaign map.

Dude this is a really amazing mod, 3D pictures look so much better! It even improves the character / inventory lightning.

Good job !

Somewhat yes, but mostly it is due to the bad tools developers have to work with at CA.
Then again, redoing the entire engine is very much to ask, but is the main scource of issues.

Amazing work ; It's sad that this isn't just BASE for the game itself. It shows the talent of modders like yourself to show how lazy CA is.

most changed by this mod are so wonderful.But when there are changed and unchanged 3D porthole,the whole game begins to seem a liitle bit strange.

@CRCR sama : thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately I don't believe it would be possible to adjust individual lords without editing the colors in their texture files, since these porthole lighting values are applied universally. Which characters in particular do you feel look strange?

good but dont include all the lords. some looks strange

@Superbed2 : Should show as updated now. Nothing changed, but I appreciate the reminder.

update please

Coolest fix

thanks for doing CA's job in making the game not look like shit

i think i will buy a dlc now

thumbnail is hilarious - well played

Can't believe what a difference this has made, wouldn't be without it now. Thanks!

So many thanks for releasing this mod, it's a must for me, pinky-Karl-boi wasn't really my type!!

Essential mod. No more purple Franz. Shame on CA for releasing the game in this state and never fixing this. Thanks.

I wasn't actually bothered by the 3d portraits... until I tried this mod. Damn now I can't go back. This is insane! Insane that CA haven't fixed this; and insane that you have so eloquently. Well done.

@Melinda Safitri: this applies to 3D portholes in battles as well. If you're referring to battle map lighting in general, there is a mod by Mazisky that might be worth trying out: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2922534576
