Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 13 hours ago 
No, thank you for spotting. They will be corrected for next update.

Henry Freydenberg & Rene Olry use generic portraits. Was this intended?
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 17 Oct @ 4:34pm 
cool, thank you, I will get him back in.
Mr.Manga 17 Oct @ 9:20am 
In vanilla, he’s an old guard chief of army advisor for the PRC.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 11 Oct @ 8:21am 
Who is otto braun again? I looked in some vanilla character files but didn't see him.
Mr.Manga 10 Oct @ 2:53pm 
Also otto braun was missing. Forgot to mention him, would he by chance be back or was he intentionally absent?
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 10 Oct @ 12:40pm 
Their portraits were left untouched so this is a PDX issue. I've noticed with mods active graphics that appear and disappear (or default to generics) even when they are coded correctly. I manually put the path in now for the next update which should solve the issue. But PRC is going to have to be completely redone again after the new DLC along with everyone else.

noticed a bug w/ zhu de & peng dehuai. They have unique advisor portraits, but when this mod is turned on, they use generic asian advisor portraits instead
Imperator of Rome 26 Sep @ 11:43am 
It seems to have been a bug of some sort caused by these two mods running together. Fortunately he was able to get it sorted out.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 26 Sep @ 7:23am 
Imperator, I'm not sure why that would interfere because there's no need to add the character file to add a fourth inner circle slot. Strange. Rdunlavey, got anybody in mind for Spain? My basic criteria for adding people is that they should be historically significant (division commanders or above) and have good portraits available.
rdunlavey 14 Sep @ 6:49am 
Hey could you add stuff for spain plssss
Imperator of Rome 11 Sep @ 3:13pm 
Hey remember how I brought to your attention awhile back my issue of Wilhelm Bittrich and the SS Officer trait disappearing? Along with all the other SS Generals and Himmler having the Militia Officer trait instead? And you speculated it to be a mod conflict? Well, I finally got around to checking that out, and you were right.

The culprit was 'Four[sic] Inner Circle Slot for Germany' by atkosturuyom. On closer inspection, it was actually screwing with quite a number of German Generals, as I noticed Bittrich wasn't the only one missing, a lot were.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 9 Sep @ 6:53pm 
Thanks, Manga. They're done, just making sure there's nothing else to fix before posting.
Mr.Manga 9 Sep @ 6:40pm 
Also he has a KX portrait under the name Chen Ce iirc
Mr.Manga 6 Sep @ 12:04pm 
Chan Chak was an ROC admiral who broke out of Hong Kong with a couple of torpedo boats, just as the japanese were entering the city. He was originally there as the ROC's liaison to ensure supplies could flow into China from Hong Kong
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 5 Sep @ 8:05am 
Yes, adding admirals to the PRC is something I wanted to do. Zhang Aiping and Xiao Jinguang will be added. I don't have a portrait for Liu Huaqing. Who is Chan Chak? I am not familiar with him. Also, we will see who if anyone PDX adds to the game with the new DLC.
Mr.Manga 3 Sep @ 7:29pm 
would it be possible to add Chan Chak/Chen Ce to china as an admiral, or would that be too much of a stretch?

Would it also be too much of a stretch to add Zhang Aiping, Xiao Jinguang, or Liu Huaqing as admirals to the PRC? I understand this is probably too early for them to historically be there, but they were alive, and having no admirals besides when playing as the PRC is a little sad.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 1 Sep @ 7:57am 
Hey demon, the mod looks impressive, but for this mod I wanted the portrait art to be consistent. Also the priority for generals is for field army and army group commanders, along with those who will rise up the ranks. If I could add more generals they would be as division commanders, but currently there is no way to queue division commanders and portraits similar to the way you can create division name lists.
Demon耀 1 Sep @ 12:19am 
The generals are too few, you can check mod: New Era, Germany has 100 generals, the major powers all have 50-60 generals, including the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, the Republic of China, the People's Republic of China, etc. Link: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1659548946&searchtext=%E6%96%B0%E7%BA%AA%E5%85%83

Witold Pilecki is a general again.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 5 Aug @ 8:57pm 
Thanks, will square him away.
Mr.Manga 5 Aug @ 4:46pm 
just ran the mod solo, witold pilecki is still missing as a general, but the files say he should exist, so i'm not sure where he's gone
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 5 Aug @ 11:19am 
Not at this time, man. I was working on a big overhaul for the trait system, but it will take time to add to the characters and test. If you have anybody specific you're looking for, feel free to post. If a good color portrait is available, I can add them in.
TONY SOPRANO 5 Aug @ 10:27am 
i was asking new officers
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 5 Aug @ 9:55am 
@pc_suffering: The mod edits the character files, so it would be be compatible with any other mod that adds or changes characters. For the white generals, as well as all "alternate" generals who come with DLCs, change of ideology, etc. I did not touch any of the conditions that cause the, to appear, such as decisions or focuses. Some of them, though, I may have adjusted their skill level/general traits to align them with the rest of the mod. Can't remember offhand if I did this for the whites. But they will available the same way they are in vanilla, unless they are overwritten by another mod.

@Manga: He shows up fine in mine, so not sure of the conflict?

@Tony: What am I updating? The mod is updated to current release of HOI4.
TONY SOPRANO 5 Aug @ 7:01am 
any update soon ?
Mr.Manga 4 Aug @ 8:48pm 
witold pilecki isn't with poland at the start. did they go somewhere?
Малоросс 4 Aug @ 7:15am 
mostly or fully untouched?
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 1 Aug @ 7:17am 
Yes, for SOV the Red Army generals are updated, and NSB white generals left mostly untouched. This is true for most alt history generals from the DLC, as I didn't want to break focus trees and decisions.
Малоросс 1 Aug @ 5:38am 
only SOVIET generals or White as well?
TONY SOPRANO 26 Jul @ 5:19am 
update pls
sombertownDS 24 Jul @ 10:51pm 
has anyone ever made a r56 compatable version?
TONY SOPRANO 4 Jun @ 3:34pm 
update pls
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 3 Jun @ 7:45am 
GeneralMacek, any mod that changes the character files will conflict with this one. E.g. French Generals, Historical portraits. You can try to change the load order in your browser but one mod will simply overwrite the other. Linear XP Gain should be OK as that's just a LUA file, although this mod was made with the original XP gain in mind, so the Linear XP will likely see generals rapidly grabbing traits. There is, unfortunately, no way around the character file conflicts without making dozens of patches for every possible combination. Best bet is to try a load order based on your own priorities and see what works.
GeneralMacek 2 Jun @ 10:27am 
I am also using Historical portraits. Is that an issue too?
GeneralMacek 2 Jun @ 10:26am 
I might have an issue the generals are not showing up.

I use Linear XP Gain for Generals and French Generals rework, Wolfenstein Characters, some TNO generals and unique generals in my modpack for Germany.

Do I need to take all of them out for this mod to work?
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 2 Jun @ 7:55am 
Big update for CHI and PRC. Added more generals and admirals for FRA. (1940 and Free French). Many thanks to talented artists who are credited above.

@Vincent: Thank you. I would think this should work OK if loaded after EAI, since most of their character changes are AI weight. But never can tell; it's a big overhaul mod.

@Imperator: Bittrich working fine on my end, in fact, I think he's the only one who doesn't come with Himmler inner circle. This sounds like a conflict.
Imperator of Rome 31 May @ 10:09am 
What happened to the SS Officer trait? It's missing, and so is Wilhelm Bittrich.
Mr.Manga 30 May @ 8:46pm 
There's portraits for Guan Linzheng & Huang Wei in the mod's files, but they don't appear in-game. I was wondering if they were planned on being added in the future, or if this is a similar case to that folder of unused chinese generals.
Vincent 30 May @ 6:33pm 
Absolutely amazing mod. Just really wish it worked with Expert AI, though I understand why these things are rarely the case.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 1 Apr @ 2:48pm 
Both mods utilize the same files. You'd have to build a hybrid from scratch, and also check each portrait because it would be a mixture of B&W photos and color painted art. Unfortunately, not a possibility. Also, did a bunch of testing to see how a RT56 patch would go. It would be a big job with lots of error checking. Not saying never, but definitely not soon.
Beaver Mafia 31 Mar @ 7:27pm 
Can you make this mod compatible with Historical Portraits?
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 29 Mar @ 7:10pm 
Updated to 1.16.4. Bugfixes.
Imperator of Rome 22 Mar @ 2:03pm 
Me waiting for someone to make a RT56 compatch for this: [skeleton sitting at table tapping fingers]
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 22 Mar @ 12:13pm 
Updated for 1.16.2. Himmler gets ss trait (by hidden event so this may take a minute after he spawns). Von der Goltz is fixed; they added an OR block. Ordo, nothing yet on generals for country packs. If PDX failed to provide sufficient generals for expanded nations again, I'd have to start by looking for good color portraits.
Ordoprinceps 22 Mar @ 7:40am 
Coach, I have been playing the new DLC "graveyards". I started with Iran and they really need more generals. Probably the others do two. Do you intend to add any for those four countries?
Mr.Manga 21 Mar @ 11:18pm 
Hi, I noticed while playing cossack/bermontian poland, the field marshall rudiger von der goltz doesn't appear with this mod. You're supposed to get them along with avalov through a focus.
Coach Bud Kilmer  [author] 9 Mar @ 6:32pm 
yeah
Crayon_Cruncher 9 Mar @ 5:38pm 
Now that Field Marshal Himmler is gained through a focus can he have the SS trait?
