The fun part is that it's probably super easy to update the mod to work again. Everything in the "gfx" folder works fine, just need to update the files in the "common/species_classes" folder and put the updated files into "common/portrait_sets".

@ph00nix the mod is basically dead, just revive it.

Mod now no longer functional. Removes the 'BioGenesis' category and the robots one removes the 'Machine' category.

@Ph00nix Fugasas hasn't posted a comment since September of 2023, I doubt you'll get a response

"Greetings @Fugasas, I'm writing to you again as a great admirer of your portrait mod. I am currently working on a mod of my own and would be most grateful if I could incorporate your portraits into it. You would, of course, be fully credited with a link to this page. Thank you for your time and consideration."

Yes. Comments contain the link to a forked version that is working. In fact, the comment right before yours is the one you want. Had you taken the time it took you to type out your comment and looked at the existing comments, you'd have saved yourself 7 hours of waiting for an answer.

Is this mod broken ? I played with it in 2017 and now they dont even appear

@Alphalbatross: Look here:

Works for me.

@fugasas Hello! Have used your mod for some time but I was wondering if I could use a couple of the portraits for another more recently updated portrait mod.

dont think this mod works anymore, i cant seem to find any of the portraits

Can you make a version without the custom empires? Or where they aren't trying to spawn over the empires I am trying to force to spawn?

Can you please update the mod to match the current game version?

doesn't seem to work with 3.12.5 (andromeda)

Thanks

I updated the Mod, you can find it under the name: "(-United Sci-Fi Races-) Updated"

Unless there's an update in the near future then I will regard this mod as no longer supported. Dude Dilligence has an updated version

The link to the forked version that is updated is currently on page 2

Can you please update the Mod? I love the mod!

Well, you're part right and part wrong. It "works" in that everything is there and can be accessed. For example, by going into the save file and changing an existing species to use the portraits. It doesn't work in that the portraits can't be assigned to a custom empire or selected by the game when willing out the galaxy.

This is all because, while the files are there and can be accessed by the game, the structure was also changed that allows them to be available at start up.

I think this works with 3.12

No names come from some species categories not having assigned name list. A very common problem is that mod authors don't add namelists, so when an AI selects the new portrait all of their name fields are blank. I still experience this when using this mod.

@Lando

I just wanted you to know I don't have that no-name bug anymore. From what I've been reading about on discussion pages too, it seems like the bug was existing outside of the mod as well so it probably wasn't even you.

only portrait work, but the race spawned by AI with theses portrait dont have name and their traits and genetics are negative and blank space/empty

It still works for me, but I am getting that bug where empires spawn with no species name.

@Lando, it stopped working for me. Not sure why. Maybe because of the patch today.

Does it still work for everyone else?

It shouldn't unless the comparability mods are patching the same thing. Then it will prioritize based on which mod files get loaded first by the game.

@Dispesys:

If I sub to your mod, does it invalidate other compatibility mods?

Just a minor thing: The Necrons from 40k don´t count as mashines unfortunately. Not sure if that is fixable.

and I did all not just this https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=3245485972

I've created a compatibility mod 3.12

Let me know if something isn't working right.

I mean at least they show up for you for me they dont even show up anymore lmao

So have I, i like to play with a ton of empires in a game so it really breaks up repeats and brings a ton of diversity. Now these days, there are like no good species mods. The work shop is littered with anime junk

Here's hoping they are still active with modding so this gets updated. I've come to really love this mod!

Yes with the rollback, it is still all messed up, All my portraits have no heads, Its the game. they really messed up the portraits and species appearance mechanics all together. The mod was not yet updated from what i see

If you're on PC then the update information is at the top, to the right under the icon. If you're on mobile, you need to click the dropdown and pick changelogs to see the last one.

the portraits no longer have heads, did you update the mod or not? i rolled back to 3.11 and was playing just fine from 3 days ago and yesterday now all my portraits have invisible heads

A very nice collection of playable races.
Please update this when you get the chance.
Thank You

Update please

Yes, sadly, it seems they have all broken as I suspected they would be. The patch notes talked about the redesign of how the protraits will work which was enough to know they would all be broken with the update. There is nothing for Paradox to fix, it's their game, they can make any and all changes they want to it. In fact, after looking it over, this change is all kinds of good things and will make it easier for new species mods to operate and can incorporate lots of new features thanks to the new system. Just have to give the modders time to update.

It seems all portrait / species modes don´t work anymore. I hope Paradox fixes this, since these kind of modes tend to not be upgraded.

update please!

Just a heads up. Reading the patch notes for Tuesday's update and it looks like they are changing the structure for portraits. This will likely break all species and clothing mods, including this one.

Here is screenshot. only three Extradimensional portrait set is seems correctly appears in category(first one), and even these portrait set, there other color variant model is broken(second one). Althrough this problem didn't causing CTD, however.
I'm not used any other mods when I take this shot.

Doesn’t need one. If I am wrong and it’s not working for you, actually provide details of what is broken.

Update please !
