    Icon5 Missing (pink) captain portraits

    Greetings gents

    I have a problem with my captain portraits for the aztec in kingdoms mod called Age of Discovery. It seems that they always show up pink (missing) no matter what I do. I have checked the portraits in 'captain banners' and they seems to work for other factions. I tried to rename them to england captain portraits and they showed up when playing as the english?

    Are their any scripting or mapping I seem to forget?

    I could really use some help because I have no idea anymore... ?

    kind regards

    Show us a screenshot of the problem and according to the descr_cultures the portrait mapping for the mesoamerican culture lies in the UI\mesoamerican folder.

    Thanks for the reply!

    I will upload a screenshot of the problem as soons as I get off from work.

    Regarding the "ui/mesoamerican" folder should I add the captain banners to this folder?

    It is a very irritating "feature" of Kingdoms. The pink portrait is connected to the position of the faction in the descr_sm_faction file. The position is somehow also linked to the audio on the strat map: if the characters don't talk when you click on them, then you won't get a captain portrait.

    "Solution" - replace the data\textures\placeholder.tga file (which is the pink blob) with a portrait.

    I added a textures folder and a portrait to the mod and it seems to work now. Although the aztec captains do make a sound when using them on the battlefield. But many thanks Gigantus - I appreciate your quick help
