Custom portraits problem in diplo

June 12, 2011 4:41:03 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hi,

iv'e added a simple new race in diplomacy 1.1 (a copy of the vasari) and only changed the name and the portraits. The name ingame is good, the race is selectable but the images are blank, it's just plain white. Everything seems fine. Iv'e did the exact same way in entrenchement and it shows perfectly but in diplomacy it doesn't......

After some testing, i've come to the conclusin that diplomacy does NOT support any new custom portraits texture file. No problem in entrenchement but in diplomacy, nada!

Can somebody explain to me what's going wrong? Is there an additional file that i should edit or what?

Remember Diplomacy added new race pictures for all the Vanilla races too. Did you add your new pictures to the appropriate brush file?

Regardless I assure you is possible. Many Diplomacy mods have custom portraits for new races.

Also you should really update to Diplomacy 1.21. It as a lot of performance fixes and a bit better balance since Diplomacy 1.01.

most of the mods i like all works in 1.1

I didn't edit any brush file. Only the player.entity and the playerpictures and added the textures. What is the name of brush file that i should edit?

Here is what i got in the "Dump-Textures.txt"

 

.\Diplomacy\Textures\Player_Portrait_Large.dds                                                       2.0        2048x1024 DXT5       3          1          1            131      
.\Diplomacy\Textures\Player_Portrait_Small.tga                                                       1.0         512x512  A8R8G8B8   3          1          1            131      
.\Diplomacy\Textures\Player_Portrait_Window.tga                                                      4.0        2048x512  A8R8G8B8   3          1          1            131      
.\Diplomacy\Textures\Player_Portrait_Button.tga                                                      0.1         256x128  A8R8G8B8   3          1          1            131      
.\Diplomacy\Textures\Player_Portrait_Medium.tga                                                      2.0        1024x512  A8R8G8B8   3          1          1            131      
Player_Portrait_Large2                                                                               - Not Loaded
Player_Portrait_Small2                                                                               - Not Loaded
Player_Portrait_Window2                                                                              - Not Loaded
Player_Portrait_Button2                                                                              - Not Loaded
Player_Portrait_Medium2                                                                              - Not Loaded

The series of "player_portraits2" are the new portraits that i want them to show up.

As you can see the normal player_portraits have been loaded but the new ones aren't... why aren't they loaded?

1.) Did you make a new " Player ? " PLAYERPICTURE file for the window folder ?

2.) Did you make a new playerPicture.manifest ?

Yes i did. in that file i correctly put the names of the texture files in it. I cheched that part 5 or 6 times.

 

Yes i added the line "playername.playerpictures" (the same name as the playerpicture file in the window folder) and added the count as +1.

i did the same way in entrenchement and it worked, but in diplomacy it doesn't and i don't know why.
