Missing Portraits eg Searcher - T Tipman

Talisman · Nov 6, 2010

Some models do not have portraits in Build 14 in the F2 - character & passenger screens or (icons ) at the bottom and top left of the screen. ( see images )

I noticed this with the Searcher model - also used as Thomas Tipman in the Jack Sparrow story. ( see images )

In the system log I got entries saying Cannot load Face_97.

I found that the face_97 files are missing in Build 14 -- but they are there in Build 13 Final - So I put the build 13 files into Build 14 and now have a full set of portraits for this character.

There are also quite a few other portrait files that are in Build 13 Final , but are not in Build 14 :?

I don't know if the files were removed in Build 14 - to be replaced by better ones perhaps - and this has not yet been done.

Not sure if I should copy all the Build 13 Final files ( the ones not in Build 14 ) to Build 14 - since some of them may be redundant . Does anyone know the answer to this?

:mm

I removed a whole bunch of pictures when I thought they were no longer used, but those were mainly the soldier-related ones.
Maybe I accidentally removed too much. I'll have to remember to restore those face_97 pictures to their former glory.

What about those other pictures you mention? Were those also in Build 13?
I do know there's still a lot of models that don't have portraits made at all though...

Thanks a lot for that! I checked them all and indeed all are unused soldier portraits, except face_97 as you already found.
So I'll restore face_97 for the next modpack release, but the others should indeed not be used anymore.

I have just managed to work out how to use the " GiveModel2Player " in the console . :dance

I will go throught the character models in RESOURCE \ MODELS \ Characters -- and see how many don't have portraits.

Then I will just have to take some images & work out what to do with them :rofl

Pieter Boelen · Nov 8, 2010

That'd be BRILLIANT! Thanks very much! :bow

Talisman · Nov 10, 2010

I have managed to check 400 of the character models so far ( approx 50% of total ) in RESOURCE \ MODELS \ Characters.

Only 16 have no portraits - so far. :onya

5 have a wrong portrait - female model with male soldier portrait.

I also have a problem, there are some models that I cannot get access to with the "GiveModel2Player" command in the console. So I don't know what to

do about those. :modding

Thanks a lot for doing this, mate! :bow

Those are the ones that don't have an initModels.c entry. Add an entry and it should work. You need an entry to assign a portrait anyway.

And all navy/soldier type characters can just use the generic portrait for soldiers.
The BuildingSet characters are all copies of other characters, so they can use the same portrait as their original.

Talisman · Nov 10, 2010

Some of the models that I cannot get access to already have entries in the initModels.c file

but they are different from the other entries e.g. ->

Code:

if (USECIIIMODELS)
{
makeref(model,Models[n]);
model.description	=  "";
model.id			=  "Gaskon";
model.FaceId		=  336;
model.nation		=  FRANCE;
model.price			=  15000;
model.assigned		=  true;
model.height		=  1.80;
model.sex			=  "man";
model.ani			=  "new_man";
model.status		=  "C_III"; // added as an identifier, for assigning another animation to the new models
AssignModelTypeNatMask(isstart, &model, "Rich_Citizens", 1.0, GetNationStringNorthEuroFr());
n++;
}

Pieter Boelen · Nov 10, 2010

They're only initialized if USECIIIMODELS is set to 1 at the top of the file.
However, by default it's off because some of these models are a bit (or very) buggy.

Talisman · Nov 15, 2010

In Build 14 Beta 1 Patch 4

OK - I have managed to go through all the models. :nk

I have modified the initModels.c file - added new entries, and changed the face id.number on some others ( eg towngirls with soldier portraits. )

I have also added 7 new portraits ( nos. 81 - 87 )

However, the new initModels.c file does not work :modding

- e.g. when I start Beatrice Devlin story I get given Nathaniel Hawk model with Tia Dalma portrait (face_226). same thing happens when I start Master & Commander. :shock

So I have broken the file somehow. I assume it is not the new portraits that are causing the problems.

Attached is my modified initModels.c file & the new portraits - can someone please tell me where I have messed up.

In initModels.c all the changes I have made are signed so they are easy to find.

Thanks

:drunk

Pieter Boelen · Nov 15, 2010

I can confirm the problem and it appears it is not your fault at all; all your code is good.
However, apparently with the new initModels entries, we now went over the model limit.
Which is easily solved: just increase the limit at the top of PROGRAM\models.h:

Code:

#define MAX_MODELS			600

Change it from 600 to 800 or something and it'll work again.

Did you also add your new model descriptions in RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS\ENGLISH\models_description.txt ?

Thanks I will change that

I'll do that as well

Thanks for your help :cheers

Talisman · Nov 15, 2010

Here is the final version. :dance

I have not touched any of the quest models for Assassin, Bartolomeu or Hornblower ( Soldiers, Riflemen, Naval Sailors and Officers ). Also not touched the models marked "usec111models"

So hopefully everything should be ok.

Package contains initModels.c - models.h - models_description.txt and faces 81 - 87.

Thanks for your help Pieter :bow

Pieter Boelen · Nov 15, 2010

That's brilliant! Does that mean all characters will show a portrait now? :shock

The final version has a few small corrections - but hopefully I have not missed anything ( usec111models & quest models excepted )

Pieter Boelen · Nov 16, 2010

That's amazing; great job, mate! :bow

Talisman · Nov 16, 2010

Pieter.

In initModels.c

The model Cutler_Beckett has 2 entries :modding

-- Please could you delete one.

my error :facepalm

He always was a tricky customer - can never trust him

:

Thanks

Pieter Boelen · Nov 16, 2010

Consider it done. And indeed, trusting Beckett is the LAST thing you want to do! :razz

Talisman · Nov 21, 2010

I have made some small adjustments. Given a better portrait to the Apothecary, Downgir51 and Downgirl2 models

I have also made for the the Spanish soldiers a portrait similar to the other countries soldiers.

see Image.

I will stop messing about with this now. :yes
