Zellith’s Original Legacy Portraits
Stellaris ver: v.3.7*
With the release of patch 3.4.0, the original (legacy) portraits for humans were removed. This had made a lot of people very angry and had been widely regarded as a bad move. Paradox reintroduced the legacy portraits shortly after with a patch (3.4.3), thus making the "PreOverlordPortrait" mod more or less obsolete.
This update to the game both solved an issue, as now legacy portraits were selectable, but created an issue, as going forward, all human AI empires would spawn with the new portraits, and achievements were disabled when using the original mod (which again, was kinda obsolete). I fixed these issues.
This mod will ensure that all AI human empires going forward will spawn with the legacy portraits. The newer human design is still selectable in the empire view should you wish to play it, however it won’t ever spawn in game unless you create a custom empire and force it to do so. The older "Pre-Overlord Portraits" will no longer be updated.
What does this mod do now?
- Original (legacy) and new human portraits are selectable in the empire creator.
- If human AI empires spawn, they will be the original legacy humans.
- Added color options to some articles of clothing humans use (both new and legacy humans).
- Achievements are ENABLED when using this mod.
Edited files;
This mod only changes a single file:
- /gfx/portraits/portraits/07_portraits_human.txt
Information for modders:
Basically, all I did was flip the code for "humans" and "human (legacy)" in the 07_portraits_human.txt file.
Bugs:
No known Bugs! I fixed the bald head bug when using the mod with older versions.
Compatibility:
Due to how the mod was coded (swapping "humans" and "human (legacy)" code, while the mod is achievement compatible, you might find mods which add clothing options to work incorrectly unless you code them to hook to the correct human/legacy human.
The Future:
If any more species get replaced in the future (an example being the space elves) I’ll make an effort to update this mod to give them the legacy treatment. If there are clothing options that people request, I will see about creating or asking creators to make compatibility patches.
