As per title. I added 16 128x128 png portraits to the indicated folder, and they showed up with the rest as they should. I selected my 16 (8 male, 8 female) and added them with them all appearing now in My Portraits as they should.
However in game, they do not appear - all new citizens are coming from the default humans instead.
Is this a bug or am I missing something else that needs to be done?
(Incidentally, the faction is Cenobites (lead by Pinhead) so I was excited by Crusade's new opportunity to further customise my many horror factions)
I was able to get them to work with my Civ.
Just copied the files into the proper directory and selected them using the UI.
Mine were working fine until I updated game via the opt-in patch (no blame, just an observation). I simply deleted my faction and built it again just in case there were some .XML changes I wasn't aware of. Everything is working fine again.
If your using the in game editor, I have no clue. If your using xml, there is a UnitPortait.xml(In the Text folder) you need to update.
Select the portrait you want and press add male or add female.
so my face has frogs for males and squirrels for females...
dont judge me!
Done all that. They just aren't working for me at all.
Tried this with 3 civs now and this feature is broken for me. All the portraits are appearing, and after clicking add male/female are appearing in my portraits just fine. But in game they never work, just the human faces and names come up, never mine.
Misread this ignore.
I am using it..Just have to drop the citizen portraits into the faction/citizen file in your docs then add them in the civ builder along with editing the names xml
Do the citizen picture files have any particular name format they require? My portraits for citizens aren't even showing up and yes they are 128x128 png.
Jane, its been over five years, so my memory is really fuzzy. Did you update your xml file so it knows where to look for the photos? I think as long as you update that, they should show up during your custom civ creation menu where you add them in from there at the beginning of each play thru. Also, I think you have to tag them male and female some how, maybe in the xml file.
I meekly reply I knoweth no XML magics.
so an xml file is a text file used for organizing things, kind of like a text version of a spread sheet. They use tags like old school html. youll need to find it and open it with notepad or better yet download notepad ++. Then in the file youll see the npc portraits , and you just add yours in a similar fashion. Sounds complicated but you can figure it out
Thanks I might just dare it to try! I love customizing my civilizations.
