Viewing post in Potrait/Bodies problem?

I kinda doubt this is a problem, those warnings aren't much of an issue, it'll finish loading without them. The main problem is the game loads *all* the portrait or body image files. For portraits, they tend to be smaller and so it'll be faster, but can still take a while and the game might run out of memory. For bodies, they're larger and with enough it's highly unlikely the game will ever finish loading them successfully, more likely it'll chug for a long while then crash.

Basically if the folder's not quite too big and you have enough memory, you can wait it out and it will eventually finish.

I started a mod to make it load things on-demand, I'll try and finish that up.

I see i thought so about this too, cause when i removed some bodies it worked . Thats sad cause im greedy and my pc is not bad so i thought it won't be a great problem. Oh well. I will wait for your mod! Good luck with that. And what do you think when it would be created? Or maybe do you have some tips for me to load more bodies without crashing game?

If you have a few images that you really like and want to use you can just select and add those to the portraits/bodies folder and use them in-game manually. If on the other hand you have several images you could just use Kyler2's Improved Random Portrait mod and use the 'Random Portrait' button to change between fitting images without having the need to make the game load all images and become slow or potentially crash. I bet you are not aware of this mod yet so I highly advise you to check it out.

I am but thanks anyway! I thought about this too. Just trying to have good random potraits, but welp i have many packs which i fused, and after that i deleted copies so idk how it will be working with this mod, or with using both bodies and portraits. Sadly not everything have same name :/ But thanks anyway! Still im trying to defeat this errors but i dont know how to use this pngcrush... :/

I had it mostly complete and thought I'd try another ugly hack idea to get it to render the initial portraits without a manual scroll, and it seems to work. As mentioned in it, need new version of the random portraits mod, or might work if this mod is after the random portraits mod in the order, haven't tested that. It still takes a while to load a large list, but we're talking like 5-10 seconds on a good computer, instead of like 1-5 minutes or crashing before.
