I guess I wasnt thinking things through.

I kept considering what you said and now I no longer think its worth to add tags for tails, horns and so on. Its better to have that small odd-ball group of demon images without horns show up, even though the npc has horns, than it is to overload the mod with scans. Either that or not add those images in the first place, but as long as their race is clear its not really a problem.

As for images that have non-standard race colors I still believe its better to just tag those and add them as they are.
There are not many packs yet, not many pictures either. Its better to start tagging them with the eye color tag from now on and re-tag the existing ones whenever its possible. Probably something like "YellowEyes" would work.
Thank you for opening my eyes on this.

for non-spawned color themes, I think it's like the rule with condoms and guns~

Better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them.

Adding them in and simply naming for example MGQ's goblin with "tanskin, or ebony?" cant remember at the moment, i havnt slept yet.

in otherwords, naming them a skin tag so they won't spawn naturally, but having them in incase someone changes a skin color, that option for a picture IS there.

Gob for da win!
Hahaa, so long as you don't get guns and condoms mixed up, that rule holds true.

Lostdgod, no worries. It was part of what you were saying that persuaded me to add a few tags that don't normally spawn with slaves. Just for those instances of weird hybrid offspring an lab modification :)

also while whomever made the portrait editor, I beleive it's got work to be done to it, The way it saves is based on adding folders for race, gender and age, then adding tags to the portraits inside.

while the game itself fails to read the folders, and finds random pictures, this is why sometimes My female teens will show up as adult males... tsk tsk.

We both need to sleep then. The mod loads the full image path (example:"C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Strive\portraits\Female\Elf\Adult\SkinL BlondHair GreenEyes TitsB AssM.png") and from there it looks up for certain words. As long as there is a tag for Sex, Race and Age anywhere within the full path then its loaded as intended. It makes sense to have those as folders since its much easier to organize the images that way.

perhaps the mod is reading 'male' in fe'male' and signing female portraits to male hostiles?

lostdgod6 years ago

Unlikely. Do you have the mod properly installed? Does it show up in your active mod's list? Also make sure you have the version 0.6 for the mod and 0.5.18c for the game.

Also about PM's it seems this system doesnt have that feature lol. We will have to talk through here or another thread. I want to discuss with you about the MGQ pack later after I return from some sleep.

I'd prefer it if Kyler's portrait editor changed the name of the file instead of creating hundreds of folders (Maybe keep the race folders). But It's so easy compared to normal file naming that I'm not gonna complain.

I'm sure both the editor and portrait assigner will be fixed up in the near future. Even if we have to put packs through the editor again and re-upload, should just be a case of clicking "Apply" over and over.

120 folders. I actually dont have a preference in this matter. But if it were to put every image inside its race folder without a folders for sex and age, then it would have to sort the tags starting with Sex Age ~~or Age Sex~~.

EDIT: scratch that. only Sex Age order would do. Having males mixed with females when the images are sorted alphabetically would be a serious pain.

Kazama6 years ago

Yeah, actually gender folders would be necessary. Age is a weird one, not many pictures are even tagged with it yet, but they undoubtedly will be. It's just quite nice to have a look at all the pictures you downloaded without going into the game, though there's something to be said for an element of surprise when catching slaves.

If you search the whole bodies folder for "skin" you can still check them all out at once.

This version adds a button "Folder" that alternates between a single folder and nested-folder version.

No new folders.
