    Where does the Portrait folder go exactly? I have unpacked my installation, but I haven't found a portraits folder. Does it go under the "data" folder? Or is the main folder sufficient?

    EDIT: After some extensive searching, I finally found the folders. They are found in the data\ui\ folder. So, if you want to install the portraits, you have to search the relevant folder in the Ui folder and then overwrite the "portraits folder". So, if you want to install the Western Portraits, you would have to extract the zip into the data\ui\northern_european folder.

    I'll go test it out tonight.

    Well, I think the install instructions are as followed:

    1) Create a mod folder


    To start the game using a mod, first create a new folder in your M2TW directory (for example fishpants). A mod directory will require the following folders to work

    data/world/maps/campaign/base
    data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign

    and the following files and folders

    data/sounds/events.idx
    data/sounds/events.dat.

    So, put all those folders and the files into your mod folder.
    If you have the disk space, copy the whole data folder just to be safe. This will take about 3,4 GB though.

    You also have to create a new batch file (create a new text file and rename the file extension to .bat) in your MTW2 directory. First, create a text document and add this to its:

    Code:
    medieval2.exe @mod.cfg
    Be sure to change mod with the name of your mod (in my example, that would be fishpants). Save the text document, then rename it to .bat
    The .bat file goes into the main M2TW directory.

    Then create a copy of your medieval2.preference.cfg, rename it to the name of your mod (for example, fishpants.cfg) and make your changes. Be sure to add the following line to the .cfg file.

    Code:
    [features]
    mod = mymodfolder
    Save the file and put it into the main directory of M2TW.

    2) Create the following folders in your mod folder

    data\ui\middle_eastern
    data\ui\eastern_european
    data\ui\southern_european

    3) Extract the zips into the right folder

    Extract the "Better Middle Eastern Portraits.zip" in the data\ui\middle_eastern folder.

    Extract the "Better Eastern European Generals.zip" into the data\ui\eastern_european folder.

    Extract the "Better Western Europe Portraits.zip" into the data\ui\southern_european folder.

    4) Launch the mod using the bat file you created.


    5) Enjoy!

    And now, I'm gonna take a typing break.

    Sorry. TWC yanked it for "illegal activity." However, I'll ask the developers of KoH if they would be OK with this mod. Personally, I don't see it as illegal, but whatever.

    They hate me over there.
