Then go to campaign_startpos/campaign_env/campaign_model/world/faction_array/faction_array/faction (your faction that you want to edit)/character_array/character_array/character and find there your leader. Remember this input or change it to whatever you like, but remeber it (we will edit this in localisation.loc later) There will be something like names_royalty_name_austriaFranz. In the first line write ui/portraits/custom/cards/yourportrait.tga and in the third write ui/portraits/custom/info/yourportrait.jpg. We will have to make changes in 3 locations in esf! Go to this path: campaign_startpos/campaign_env/campaign_model/world/faction_array/faction_array/faction (your faction that you want to edit)/family/family monarchy info_character Here you have two names: portrait_details and campaign_localisation - we need to edit them both. with esf editor open your startpos.esf in data/campaigns/mp_eur_napoleon. Now comes the harder part (at least for me, took me ages to find everything in esf). This file save in scripts folder in document and settings. Took me as well some time to figure this out. In notepad write: mod myportraits.pack and save it as (forget about ETW in this case). Then copy this pack from your folder and paste it to your data folder. Then change pack type to mode and save as for example myportraits.pack. Right click - add file and point to the your tga file, then the same with jpg file.
Create new pack file pointing to your mod folder (my portraits). Name them whatever you like, but rememeber the names. So lets say we have our 2 new images (one is tga - 66x88 (round or not) and one is jpg - 204x272). If you want I can make a little tutorial for this as well (just write in the thread). But if you want to have a round portrait of your faction leader (tga file), then you have to edit it with gimp. There is no need in further editing of your jpg file. So you have to cut your image respecting these dimensions. The dimensions of tga file are 66x88 and the dimensions of jpg file are 204x272. (you dont need the picture, but its for the right path for the future pack) Then do the same with infocard.jpg in ui/portraits/custom/info. Choose whichever you want and right click - extract selected and point it to your folder (my portraits). Then with PFM open data.pack find ui/portraits/custom/cards and there you will see a list of portraits.tga. We will need ESF editor, PFM and some graphic editor ( gimp is great).įirst off, make a folder of some name like " my portraits" for example.
I spent a sleepless night trying to edit faction´s leader portrait and his name, so I decided to write this little tutorial.
