Restoring Egyptian portraits - RTR

**Ithoniel** · February 13, 2006, 09:50 AM

Does anyone know how to restore the original egyptian family member portraits with the total realism mod? I'm using the gold version. Rome Total Realism sets the Egyptians to use the Greek family portraits. I want to use the vanilla Egyptian portraits. I know that they didn't really dress like the Egyptian portraits portray, but I don't care... I simply find those portraits more appealing.

I've tried unpacking the portraits from the packs directory and copying them to the proper directory (ui/egyptian) but this didn't work. I don't think RTR changed the portraits using this method since there wasn't a portraits folder in the ui/egyptian folder and when I unpack the .pak files the egyptian portrait's are in the proper folder. Is there a text file somewhere that designates what portraits each civilization uses?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No idea ask this on their site (www.rometotalrealism.org)

And could a mod put this in the RTR section plz

It is kinda silly to show them as Greeks, since even though the rulers were Greek\Macedonian, they endorsed the Egyptian ways.

I'd say that in RTR's forum, but I'm too god damn lazy.

Thanks for the responses.

I already have a post asking the same question on their forum. No response thus far. Just thought I'd ask here too just incase.

They are in the UI_0.pak file. Extract that file with the xpak tool. The files you are looking for are in Data\UI\EGYPTIAN\PORTRAITS.

Copy the original ones overtop the RTR ones. If the RTR files are also packed, you'll have to extract the RTR file, copy the file structure to your Data directory, copy the original portraits overtop the RTR portraits, then rename the rtr pak file, and make a blank text file and name it the same as the rtr pak file.

Hope that makes sense,

Thanks BardonM for replying.

I've got the portraits. I simpy can't find where the RTR portraits are. They're not in ui/egyptian, and I can't find any .pak files for rtr. I don't know how rtr changed the Egyptian portraits.
