    Default Nightgoblin and goblin pictures wanted.

    I'm working on a 'Night goblins playable and enhanced' submod that I hope to implement for COW 1.5 once it comes out.
    I've spent the last few hours looking for pictures to use for the interface, event pics etc., but I'm having a very hard time finding anything of use.

    If there are people out there that have artwork that might help me in this endevour please do share it with me.

    I'm looking for anything related to Nightgoblins and goblins, symbols, paintings (like that one beautifull COW loading screen), portraits, pretty pictures of shrooms and other goblinoid objects anything.
    Any help would be greatly apreciated.

    In this case only battle remained as a means of final delivery, battle with any weapons that the human mind, intellect and will are able to comprehend, regardless, of whom fate would gift with it's blessing."

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 




    here's your first portrait i'll just keep em coming...

    ps...
    interface is being determined by culture...

    i think you should keep em in orc - culture even though the interface would look a bit awkward

    ,cause if the new patch is gonna use the one culture slot left (given the fact that the map is gonna be expanded) then

    ,one in order to play your submod is gonna have to "let go" one of the others ingame...

    so maybe just the faction's symbol ,banners could be custom and these are already ingame..or not ?

    Thanks, Im not sure if I will be able to add portraits, but I'm doing my best to learn what is needed, so keep em comming if you can.
    I dont think it is that hard, right now I just don't know how the game differentiates between orc and gobbo pics, perhaps I'm missing something but I haven't really gotten into that yet anyway.

    The mod will be for Night gobbo lovers like me (it started with me modding something similar for personal use, but I thought I'd make it good and share it because I've seen some requests for it now and again but no attempt at doing it.
    The Orcs will be made unplayable allowing me to tailor it to my NG tastes, a rar file containing the original COW files will be made availible for those wanting to play an Orc campaign again.

    And eventually I'll probably make it compatible with some popular submods aswell.

    so maybe just the faction's symbol ,banners could be custom and these are already ingame..or not ?
    Indeed the banners and faction symbol are already in there.
    But there won't just be graphic changes, I'm planning on making lowest tier Orc units available as very rare mercenaries, and amongst some other things I'm experimenting with making a NG Fanatic unit that is similar to mages but fires only a couple of rounds of artillery projectiles at very close range (though unless I find some benevolent person to make me a fanatic projectile model it'll just be firing cannonbals).

    Thanks for the pics by the way and please keep them comming, I've already incorporated the bad moon flag symbol as a button.

    Anyone else with any Night Goblin artwork out there?

    adding portraits is simple...if i remeber correctly...you just make 69x96 (not sure...but quite sure ) tga.files in triplets ,as in young / old / dead(dead is b&w) and you put em in the portraits (culture specific) folder...just see how others are put ,cause if i rememeber well they just go into a generic for factions but specific for cultures folder and go by numbers...

    for important characters there's another folder, called "custom portraits..into which subfolders with the triplets are put...these subfolders are named and so ,in the descr_strat ,one can put in the first line ,an entry like ....x 154 ,y 657 ,portrait "name of the subfolder" ... ( i think you can't use spaces in the names though!) just see how others are put and you'll get it..

    cause i don't really remember all the details...i just remember it was dumb easy

    ...
    ps
    as i said...these were all the decent pics i could find..all others were of tabletop miniatures..you could also use them for event pics..
    event pics, though , id on't knpw how exactly do you "regulate" them...maybe there's some other file to mod too ,instead of just adding tga pics in a folder...

    Thanks for the info on portraits, I see now how the game can differentiate between Orcs and gobbos, the gobbos are in the heretic portrait folders.
    But looking at the number of portrait pics that is hardly going to be a priority, the only portrait that really needs changing is that of Skarsnik in the "custom_portraits" folder, and perhaps a few extra shaman portraits.

    Changing an event pic is real easy too, I just need to replace the picture in question with one of the same size and with the same name, done that before.

    My main priority now is getting more material for the interface and event pics.
    I've got a decent amount already, but any good find would be most welcome.
