[RS 2.1a] Portrait reloaded

**leoni** · January 14, 2011, 12:51 PM

Hi everyone. In the footsteps of drecie14 and the awesome work by Milners custom portraits i decided to add some nice ones too.

I have made 200 portraits for the Greek. New Civilians-took some RSII art-too.

There are many popular movie heros, also many ancient greeks, like Platon, Lykurgos, Epikur etc.

Included are also 100 portraits for the Carthaginians-the most from movies.

NEW-100 pic for eastern factions added, from movies-ancient bust/portraits too.

Simply download and put the UI folder in the campaign data folder, which you play.

Cause puttin into the main RSII data folder only some images will be use, but in your used campaign folder (like one turn campaign, or the 0_folders) all images were used. I got over 100 family members-but no more than 100 images and no vanilla images until now.

Enjoy and rock on.

It says that the file I am trying to access is temporarily unavailable.

I have tried it right now, and it works. Maybe a server problem. Sorry-hope ya could get it now.

If anyone have problems too, please let me know. Maybe i could upload it on filefront too.

Do the character portraits age as with the vanilla portraits?

**leoni** · July 07, 2011, 03:21 PM

No--would be to much work for me---for this feature--i dont need it, cause my generals died heroic and young

**Massive_attack** · July 20, 2011, 12:42 AM

Thank you for this ! Now my Carthaginian generals and family members dont look so but-ugly. Seriously, does CA have something against carthage ? they look terrible in the vanilla... many thanks, friend.

**leoni** · July 20, 2011, 01:19 AM

Thanks a lot for ya feedback.

There are still some portraits, i dont like, and if my next submod update will be finish, maybe i got to rework these. Now that i see, it is still downloaded.

**Massive_attack** · July 20, 2011, 05:50 PM

If you are considering continuing this project, the barbarian portraits, whilst being fine and relatively accurate, arent quite as fun as they could be. Still, Ill be happy with what I have now, thanks.

**leoni** · July 20, 2011, 11:22 PM

Your are right man--i ask in the round, if somebody would help or do this, but sadly, all attention is often thrown only to the romans---strange.

But if i rework the carthaginians, i will work for babarians too.
It is a holy promise-to you.

**Massive_attack** · July 21, 2011, 04:50 AM

Thanks leoni ! Im enjoying the Carthaginians now, but I admit, alot of the portraits seem to have a strange orange tint, or strange backgrounds. Others seem somewhat "fuzzy"- with some details being hard to make out. Still much better than the vanilla ones, (It was very hard to care about the affairs of my dynasty when all of its members looked suspiciously like uncultured barbaric neanderthals) though. I havent gotten a chance to look at the Greek icons but im sure they are lovely.

**leoni** · July 21, 2011, 06:05 AM

Orange??? Maybe the last breath of ya display??

Yes, they are from different movie scenes, or coins or bust, so they never look really real. Strange backgrounds etc. It is like your general is showing during his campaign, in orange county, maybe??

**Massive_attack** · July 21, 2011, 01:40 PM

Hah, no. Its the lighting on alot of the Carthaginian portraits, it gives them an orange tone (it only happens for some of them, not all) I realize there is little you can do, but I just noticed it, thats all.

I wouldnt have said anything if it wasnt for the fact that my family tree is full of these "orange" portraits.

It might not sound like it, but I do appreciate this work, thank you for making it. Im just trying to give some feedback.

Its not my display though. As ive said, other portraits are fine, its just that some of them have this strange lighting and colour tone.

**leoni** · July 21, 2011, 03:01 PM

I am just joking.

I m happy for any kind of feedback.
Thatswhy thanks a lot master for carthage.
Hopefully i will upload this weekend the next version of my submod---hope you will try out to play as carthage--anyway have a good time.
