Hello agaiin.

I tried PortraitsOverride:: DANISH "vikings" in the startpos file, but then the game wont load. so I tried PortraitsOverride:: FN_DANISH "vikings" but then I get the orginal error

I m confused about the location of the portraits. As the pagan folder has no sub folder for kings, so I assumed it was defaulting to the general file, so I took out the tga's and replaced them with viking ones but the game still found a golden horde pagan portrait from some where. I tried adding a sub folder for kings within the pagan folder and populated it with viking king portaits but with the same result, ie a golden horde.

Tis most strange, but I sure there is something really simple I am missing (possibly a brain LOL )

Thanks Again

Try this:

PortraitsOverride:: DANISH   "vikings\\vikings"

EDIT: I'm not sure how the Golden Horde portraits work either.

ok I've made some real progress. Ive inserted folders within the portraits/pagan folder for spys, princess,,emissary,assassin. Which are correctly populating during the game. But kings are still fed from the general folder, I know this for sure, as I tested it by populating the general folder with renamed princess tga's and theyturned up as both king and general pics, I then did the same using muslin generals and the ingame pics changed to them.

I think there must be a command somewhere that instructs that Pagan kings are fed from general rather than king folder, so Im now hunting for this command line.

The pemise of the campaign Im working on is that with the conversion of Scandinavia, devout viking pagans set up a new kingdom of Valhalla and Jomsborg (corsica and sardinia) this kingdom then attracts other exiled pagan people, celts rus, golden horde . The campaign will be a raiding game, so the choice of lands is ideal as allows easy access to muslim, orthodox and catholic lands. Ive given the faction (modified danes) access to a wide range of troops, from pagan lands such as the steppe, wales, russia.

The spies, emissaries, and assassin, portraits are 50%,25%,25% Viking, Orthodox, muslim, so they can be set on missions where they would blend with the population. Generals are 50% Viking, 25% Pagan (golden horde), 25% Catholic (from viking invasion , so really celtic)

I really wanted to restrict King portraits to Helmeted viking portraits, which is why this prob has been such a bug bear,

If you come up with any ideas please let me know

Thanks for all your help so far, I am really enjoying this modding
