[fjne]

Just take your time calcifire and work on the mod when you feel like it. You dont owe us updates, just work on it when you have spare time and feel like it.

KK, sorry it took me so long, but the regular basic portrait pack version of the mod is ready for 4.1.0 Stellaris. NO the Directors Cut isn't ready. idk when. BUT at least y'all can play with the pretty pictures.

 

That being said... Does anyone remember a couple years ago when I had a job working 60+ hours a week and it killed mod development? well it's happening again. But just like I promised then, I'm promising now. Mod maintenance will continue. Bug hunting and the like. Fresh new content is on hiatus. idk for how long, BUT thank you everyone for the kind words and support for the mod. Hopefully this season of my life won't last forever.

Life comes first king, hoping for the best for you. Love the portraits, they add a certain charm to my games.

The fact that you're still updating this mod at all is amazing, thank you!

I cant make stable celeste spawn as an Ai empire, even when i save it as custom empire and set it to always spawn.

[LeroyNyankins]

I can confirm that some species especially "Hybrid" prevent custom Empire to automatically spawn as AI, even in Force mode. Hope it will be fixed, there is some best portrait ever. Also, mammalian white "cat's" with masks, don't have a specie portraid (bug) in ongoing game Species menu (initialy may show but after some time it's just empty portrait. All gender are chosen.

P.s. And put white toxoid specie portrait initially a girl. It's odd when with "All Female" trait you steel see male portrait in same "Specie" menu

This has to do with how things like event species should never spawn randomly. Enabling Celeste spawn would effect more than just her. The best way to do it would be to change the art for her pet species to something more vanilla. Small price to pay imo if you want to see her randomly

Not really a bug, it's how the game works intentionally.

Oh, it's just a legacy thing, they used to be a male only species set. It didn't add the grills until after popular demand, but I still think of them as all male

Hey there,
Love this mod and your artwork, really brings to life a lewd playthrough 😃

Is there a way, however, to turn off your custom preset empires from spawning?
Each game I start up, I have a strange issue where they take up slots I am trying to use to force-spawn my own empires that I made.

Yeh, just open up the "0b_prescripted_countries.txt" file and change anywhere it says "spawn_enabled=always" or "spawn_enabled=yes" and change it to say "spawn_enabled=no"

If you want the portrait pack on offer to also be a replacer, then all you gotta do it replace the "species_classes" folder with the one that comes from the D-Cut version. Now, this won't cover the event species or crisis stuff, but it's a good enough band aid.

 

 

Tryna get the portrait pack to replace vanilla empires but don't think this method work anymore? Would appreciate suggestions for a fix.

[HarryisHoudini]

Am I crazy? I faintly remember there being an anthro horse species in this pack, only reason I noticed is because I used them for an empire and now they are gone.

[Katz]

There are the equine futa horse girls...you mean those?

Yeah, them, for some reason I don't have em anymore. Only thing I changed was update the mod to the new version.

Well technically it's Lithia's Lustful Void futa horses. I just replace the artwork

Getting an bug here with babe_paragon_event.31 on universe gen

 

Apparently it has an event scope of country and it's executing on an unsupported scope?

        random_allowed=yes
    }
}

 

Here's what I'm seeing in the "babe_paragon_events.txt" file where I eventually traced back to that event ID:
 

Quote

country_event = { #lost territorial control
    id = babe_paragon_event.31
    hide_window = yes
    is_triggered_only = yes
    fire_only_once = yes

    trigger = {
        THIS = { has_planet_flag = babe_cal_star }
    }

    immediate = {
        FROMFROM = { country_event = { id = babe_paragon_event.32 days = 5 } }
    }
}

 

I applied this correction, it didn't bomb-out, and hopefully it does what you intended:

Quote

country_event = { #lost territorial control
    id = babe_paragon_event.31
    hide_window = yes
    is_triggered_only = yes
    fire_only_once = yes

    immediate = {
        if = {
            limit = {
                any_owned_planet = {
                    has_planet_flag = babe_cal_star
                }
            }
            country_event = { id = babe_paragon_event.32 days = 5 }
        }
    }
}

 

CORRECTION: I thought I fixed the issue; however, it still threw a scope error after a second worldgen attempt.

Had the same problem, did some digging.
Surprisingly for me all problems was caused by "Robophilia" mod - https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/40789-robophilia-machine-age-compatible/. After disabling it I regenerated 10 galaxies in a row with 1000 stars and max amount of species - no crashes occured.
 

[Calcifire]

I think it's the scope is accurate. Instead of a "country_event" it should be a "planet_event" I'll upload a fix soon

[Sadist12345]

Is this event supposed to trigger like this?

I did some digging in the files and I assume the mixed Mutagenic and Parthenogenetic event chain is unfinished?

It just gives a constant -10 happiness and triggers over and over

Uh.... that's not good. I'll look into it.

Speaking of, I've noticed that multiple Paragons have broken sprites

Some of the Fallen Empires have missing sprites too (Xenophilic in my last game)

[Smilythenecron]

So are the Infernal species supposed to be popping up? Only one that seems to show up is the fire ones and they only show up in the Amorphic class.

[Smilythenecron]

Nvm, turns out it's because of a different mod

ok I have the Paragons and the other thing you mentioned earlier fixed, but I can't recreate the Fallen Empires missing portraits.

[Nonamestated]

Would it be possible to get traits as a separate mod?
