(Rel)Nostalgia - original portraits v2.00

[mr.blonde]

Hi mates, i found the current portraits of the characters a little bit unispiring so i replaced them with the portraits from the original medieval. Basically i made it for my personal use but i think that it is better to share this with the rest of the community.

New and probably final version is released

Added proper(and special) portraits for dead characters in the family tree.
Fixed some missing portraits which may cause a lot of others not to appear.


EDIT: THE ORIGINAL MOD DATA HAS BEEN LOST. POINT BLANK ALTHOUGH USES IT, IN HIS AWESOME SUBMOD FOR STAINLESS STEEL. RR/RC FOR STAINLESS STEEL , THE WAY THAT TOTAL WAR MEANT TO BE PLAYED http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=300716

Have fun

We must show courage .

Cool, but I'd like to see some pics before downloading this

[randir14]

Yeah could you post some screens please, it's been forever since I played Medieval 1 so I don't remember what the portraits looked like.

[Giorgos]

they looked like paintings out of a museum. Can't you remember the vain-looking portraits? have you really forgotten?

[steroid]

Very cool stuff bro !! they look really cool
The only prob is for the spy's and assassin they're have the pics of priest ...that sad lol. Exept this i like alot.
thanks for the job and carry on.

Great job - downloading - they fitted the period so much better and created a far better medieval athmosphere!

[Trajan]

Thanks for sharing it but I'll try it out once you fix that bug where spies and assassins have the priest portraits. I never played MTW so I'm looking forward to seeing how the portraits look like.


Edit: Checking out the files, I noticed you left out the northern_european folder. Was that intentional?

[mr.blonde]

Thanks everyone .

Sorry guys i am in the work i can't upload atm pics.
edit: my keyboard's print screen button doesnt want to cooperate for taking any screenshot,so if anyone who uses this mod is kind enough to post any pic of campaign or battle map with the portraits would be very helpfull. Thanks in advance and sorry for the inconvience.

About spies and assasins pics i will check it this afternoon and i will fix it immediately if it is so.
In christian or muslim factions you see that?
edit:i checked all the files and my current campaign, i found that all agents have the correct portraits, maybe @steroid you mistaken spies with priests because many christian rogues wear crosses and have some priestlike faces and not what we used from vanilla version.

About the nothern_european folder missing, the nothern european factions in M2TW use the other european factions portraits, but this weekend i will make some tests for more unique portraits in every faction.

Sorry for the brief reply but i feel my boss hot and stinky breath behind me...
edit:obvious that work is over

Hehehe, I'd use this but I still play MTW frequently; so I need the difference. Nice job though, I know there's a lot of people who haven't played MTW in a long time and would appreciate this. Downloaded anyway; good job.

Thanks mate, its the little flavour from original medieval that i want. I think that the M2TW portraits don't have personality, you know to see the face and remember the character.

Now i am in a dilemma between replacing all the event screens with the original's medieval but some events have the same pics or to replace some event screens but with unique pics:hmmm:.

[Gungalley]

Yea many thanks mr. blonde. Always thoguht the portraits from MTW were better than hte 3d images from RTW and MTW2. It just gives a lot more atmosphere.

[mr.blonde]

thanks man, a non essential little mod but i totally agree about the atmoshere.
Anyway new and probably final version is released, check the first post.

[Gungalley]

Hi, are rebel generals fixed? Diffiuclt to find out cos htye are relatively rare. Also, can u do something about admirals? thanks.

Yes rebel generals have original and unique portraits.
Unfortunatelly admirals use the same generic icon with captains, so i dont think it would be better to use a specific face from original portraits and we have to see it continually.

[Gungalley]

Oh well, alright then. Thats a fast reply. Any future plans for the mod?

[mr.blonde]

Well, when i found time i will try to rework the unit cards for every faction and to change the event screens in the campaign map with something not so comic-style.:hmmm:But this should be a different mod.

[Methoz]

thanks,now i test it in our mod...

[mr.blonde]

you welcome
