stellaris [mod] Calcifire's Portrait Pack

[Viking_Berzerker]

Whene Playing as custom mutagenic breeders. Do i need to have free trait points and slots to get mutagenic the mutagenic traits? Would making the species all female before getting mutagenic create problems?

[Railgunner2160]

Just curious, are there any plans in the works for some cybernetic traits for the trait pack in the works?

[CaptainePrice98]

The portrait doesnt appear in the game

Just a question. Any idea why none of the Traits show up when Genemodding in game? You can choose them from the creation menu but not while in game after you've researched the tech

That's a Lustful Void thing. To use the new traits added by the mod you have to unlock specific research options in order to genemod them onto your species after game start.

Ahh thank you, Didn't know that.

[CaptainePrice98]

the portrait pack works now?

[DecaySociety22]

Does anyone know why when I download the new version it says the path is invalid or non-existant?  Tried mulitple times, and can't seem to fix it.  I think this has happeend before, but I can't remember how I fixed it.  Does anyone nkow why it does this?  LV is doing the samething, thanks in advance.

I dunno for LV, but this portrait pack isnt working, prolly because stellaris devs made yet another change to how portrait works

[Yydssss]

Two new origin descriptions in the director's cut are missing.

[Viking_Berzerker]

I just bout the toxoid pack, First Contac and Paragon DLC, but the Storm Legion still havent shown up in the new game empire selection. Anything I am missing? I am runing Directors cut  v3.12

Oh, I thought it was working from something said above.  Is it down again?

[Viking_Berzerker]

I want to cry, I have every DLC on summer sale, I have deletet and re-downloaded the Directurs Cut muliple times, uninstalled the game and re installed it, yet the Storm Legion refuses to show up. What is going on!? What Am I missing?! The Mashine Age DLC?! Help me!

 

And its only the Storm Legion that is missing! The one Premade Empire I want to try!

 

This is pain! 

[Viking_Berzerker]

So Baron Vyctor Jariden dosent have a portrait convertion. Is it a bug or is his missing?

[Viking_Berzerker]

These guys dont even have a picture.

1.) slots and points don't matter. The code should force apply mods. 2.) no, this won't effect anything. Though, be warned, I don't have a robust cleaner. So like, genemod at your own risk if you use that ability to make them all_male after they've been made all_female. I've contemplated making the origin disable genemodding tech, but so far, people seems to understand that they would be shooting themselves in the foot, if they take it too far, and dont call it a bug and blame me.

I haven't even thought about it. Thought I will look into transfering the current machine traits I've created to also be available to cyber punks.

Sorry for the late reply. I just double checked, and the download works. Unfortunately, idk how to fix this issue either. Soz

Can't recreate this issue. idk

It's kind of rough. I like the aesthetics that you get with the DLCs, but at the same time, you gotta go full vanilla if you want things to be 100% available to everyone. Just for your special case, though. take this file and dump it inside of the mod's "prescripted_countries" folder...0b_prescripted_countries.txt

Who is that? Is that a trader enclave, reliquary, or caravaneer fleet?

I haven't done artwork for all of the paragon's yet. Any of them I haven't done yet just stay vanilla. What's funny, is that I read this comment, and I actually have Vyctor done and ready to go for my next update. I went with a k-pop instagram femanine man type look, so... I guess there's that for maybe 1 person in the world to look forward to.

Skrand Sharpbeak is also ready to go, as well as, S875.1 Warform. I want to finish Nona and Jynn first, before I release it. But, that doesn't mean I can't leave y'all with a teaser...

Spoiler

You might notice Gia'Zumon looks a little different on the right there. This isn't a redux look... Exactly... I just thought it would be funny if the player also hires her ex-boyfriend Hask'Guttra, then... Since I have the power, why not mod the game so that this has an effect on her appearance? I'm not gonna add an event popup on what all went down but, players can figure it out for themselves why Hask has her dogtags around his belt. XD

So yeh, if you want defeated Gia in your game, just make sure you hire Hask when you get the chance. BUT THATs FOR THE NEXT UPDATE. I'm still cooking. It's not ready yet. Don't worry about it.

Haven't seen anyone mention it but these two traits have their names and descriptions broken for me.

[Redoctor]

I wanted to find out. Is there any way to make sure that only a man is the ruler, and that there is not a single man in the settlements?

(I just wanted to create the kind of women who obey the collective intelligence of living costumes.)

[DecaySociety22]

I fixed the problem with it not find tin the path, but now nothing is showing up at all from the stuff here (this adn LV) and I may have  an extremely stupid question.  Lliterally nothing is showing up.  I've tried several betas, my possibly extraordinarily stupid question: Does it now require the actual DLC as well, ie doesn't work with just the normal current update?  Because at the moment, literally notign from the mod is showing up when I load to make a new game.

I don't see this when I bootup the game. So I have no idea why yours is wrong.

It doesn't require DLCs in any crazy way. Obviously, portrait pack DLCs are required if you want to see the plantoids and what not. And then the pre-made empires I have won't show up if you lack the DLC they are associated with. Those are the only two things. Everything else is independent of money.

Let's see....

all_female + vanilla male leadership setting = no workie (only the initial base leaders and ruler will be male)

all_female + male leadership policy = not workie

all_female + patriarchy civic = no workie (it seems like the gender selection code from LV is STRONGER than my civic gender code despite the load order. Damn, Lithia is a fucking WITCH!!!!)

 

KK, this puts me in a bind. My mod doesn't govern the population gender, LV does that. If I wanted to pull this off. I would have to use my load order privilege to go on the offensive and attack Lithia's code directly, which would result in a mess. Sound like a bad idea to me. It would theoretically double the size of the code but here's how I would do it... I would take my segregated_genders trait, and finally put it to use. I would grab up all of Lithia's gender code and slip in a NOT gate so that her code only behaves normally when the species doesn't have the segregated_genders trait. Then I would copy paste all that code and make it to where if the species DOES have segregated_genders, then it will instead behave like you described. "Aye-yo! Fuck, Cal! Just do it already. Do it for the people." *sigh. gdi. fine. I'll see what I can do, but no promises.

[Calcifire]

Side note:: I've also been a fan of the fake nails look that Crescentia always puts in her artwork. So I thought I would include it when I was working on making Nona's portrait art today. I also couldn't decide If I wanted to do some shameless Edith fanart or Lilith fanart, so we are getting both. Since their names both end in "ith" let's call them. Judith and Meredith. Yes, that should be legally distinct enough for Disney. I'll have Judith(not Lilith) replace Nona, and I'll have Meredith(not Edith) do something else...

Spoiler

Why does Miss Clawthorne, I mean Lilith, I mean Judith have a cesarean scar? That's the fun thing about Paragons, they get to have more personalized depictions than regular species portraits. Also because I can change her event text to say whatever I want. ha. Just keep it in the back of your mind that vanilla Nona spawns for Xenophile Empires if you want to read the new backstory I gave her.

 

Ever since I released Vivienne as an in-game leader, I've wanted to give the other empires similar perks. Ol' Owl House Mommy already has the body type that's howling for those Crimson Dogs. Maybe I ought to give her to them.

 

But yeah, no ETA.

Does anyone know if anything in this mod could be causing the Curator Station Destroyed glitch, and is there a fix.

 

I already tried the aerphos patch or whatever it was called, and that made it worse.

 

according to the debug tooltip, the events involved are

leviathans .2160

leviathans .3204

leviathans .2111

leviathans .528

fedel.1506

fedel.1510

action.98

 

I don't know if they would still be showing those names if written over.

 

I really don't want to have to reinstall again lose the custom civilizations I made when I just reinstalled.

 

Sigh.  It seems like I'm just not meant to play this game anymore.  

 

Also, in case it might be with that, and to check for future reference, is there a list of th differences between the standard and the director's cut?

Can you get both Sisters if you customise the Crimson Dogs or do a culture shift? Would that triger an event?

 

Also, HOT! HOT! HOT! 

 

Kind of reminds me of this. Or more wish to see a event like this:

Oh and the folder worked. the Storm Legion is now playeble.

Directors pack doesn't seem to work. The portrait pack and traits pack do seem to work though. Running lustful void, UI Overhaul Dynamic, and either directors pack or portrait + trait pack. The directors pack is also split into two mods

I know for a fact that my mod doesn't interact with those event files. I mean, just based on the trials you've been through, I would assume your machine is so borked that I don't know what to say anymore. If you haven't given up yet... I'm sort of old, so I used to live in a time before the convenience of mod managers. It would be simple yet tedious process, but if I were you, I would manually clean out my stellaris installation.

I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with it just yet. Like I said, Not-Lilith is going to be a Nona replacer, so she'll pop up for any Xenophile empires. But Not-Edith could be anything I want at the moment. At first I thought... Nona has a Lost Convoy quest, that would be an easy point to have her sister tag in. But I think she deserves to be her own independent thing. For the time being, you can't get them both, but that isn't set in stone. I would just have to take the time to write an event where the game acknowledges them being in the same empire together. All to be determined.

 

But, to your other question, yes. If you edit and save any of my premade empires, then the secret under the hood effects should still carry over. (not to get too technical, but this is because the country_flags that are stored inside the empire get preserved).

Uh, nah you definitely got something else fucky going on. Not sure what. Like I was telling, DecaySociety22. I think some people need to make sure they have a clean instal.

Already did a full reinstall, including uninstalling and then manually removing.  I tried using the irony mod manager. That seemed to make it worse.  The thing is, I don't think that any of my mods besides this and lustful void would even affect events.  The rest is stuff for higher trait/civics/leader capacities, extra ascension slots, cheat menu to get resources, etc.

 

It's a mystery.
