That's a comment I carried over from AK|Phantom's version, it has no effect on how things actually work, I think he added it as a reference.  The game uses blond too, so the blonde in there is definitely misleading.  Preferably remove the comment from the code later as better if they're referenced from elsewhere anyways, like races.gd.  The actual code uses exactly whatever string is set on the character.  This can be almost anything as dying hair lets you type in whatever you want. Not that this code ever runs after that, but I was thinking it'd be nice to add a button to re-do the random portrait in case you changed things or didn't like what it chose but didn't want to manually choose.

Next up though would like to filter on titssize and asssize.  Will need some sort of suffix for each, Ass seems obvious, but should it be Tits or something else for them? or maybe multiple? I could just have it match <size>(Tits|Breasts|Boobs).   Was going to wait for a pack to come out with something named for those first.

I appreciate all the work on the packs, that seems 50x harder than what I've done, and without them this mod would be useless.

hehe! Thankies! ♪

Which version? At one point, it was searching for "Dark Elf" for dark elf, with the space, which wasn't matching anything, and thus picking from any race. I changed it at some point to just strip all spaces from race, so it'd properly search for DarkElf.  Latest version should fix.  Can upgrade by extracting the mod over, then going back to mods screen and clicking "apply" (might need to turn off/on mod, but i don't think you need to).

I'd need to know all the available portrait names. Can you get me a recursive list of all files in the portraits folder, and all relevant attributes of the given slave? (race, sex, age, hair, skin, tits, ass)? 

The key thing to remember, if nothing matches then it currently drops that filter and goes back. So, it goes to filter on Child,  finds 0 portraits that match Child (after filtering on race and gender),  it will now not filter on age at all.  So if you only have "Adult" portraits, then any child age slaves will still be pulling portraits from the pool of Adults.

If you have exactly this for portraits
Seraph Female Adult AverageTits
Seraph Female Child AverageTits
Then, it should always choose the Child for Child and Adult for Adult, but if you had:
Seraph Female Adult AverageTits
Seraph Female Adult AverageTits 2
Then, when looking for a portrait for a child, it'd find nothing, so it'd not filter on age and go with any of the adult profiles.

For the others, it again can potentially be an issue with it filtering out from hair or skin before it gets to tits. This will be less of an issue for next version, which uses weights.  I'm also adding option to enable debug output which gives some more info on it's selection process which might help explain why it's not selecting what you expect?

For the last, characters besides the tags don't matter. Nor does case. It could be any of the following:

• Human Female Adult BigTits
• Human-Female-Adult-BigTits
• HumanFemaleAdultBigTits

All 3 would be parsed the same.

For hair color, no qualifier is need, yo can just do Blond, Brown, etc.

Currently the mod considers HalfkinCat and BeastkinCat 2 entirely different things. If you have a portrait you think straddles the two, you can add both HalfkinCat and BeastkinCat to the name. For many though it's  clear distinction, Beastkin are full on furry, Halfkin are human, with elements of the animal so I think it's better to differentiate.

No eye color yet. Nor many of the other attributes with multiple possibilities like height, tail, wings, horns, etc. Now that the weighting is in place though I can add them.  Most likely the basic implementation will be <color>Eyes, <type>Wings, etc.  With additional modifiers if it makes sense. All matches are case insensitive and do not require any specific surrounding characters.

From your rules, you listed off alternative colors. I had been thinking of working something in like that by having a similar list, and if a portrait doesn't have the exact color, giving it partial weight for a neighboring color.  Like if no Auburn,  then give half weight if it had Brown or Red.

>Also just a thought, hypothetically in the future if we have like 2Gb of portraits wouldnt it be much better to scan specific folders?

For this mod, scanning is a function of # of portraits, not their size. With 935 (100mb) portraits it currently takes <1 second most of the time for my, on a low end that might be longer. It only does this if A) the cache is empty (new game run) or expired (older than 5 minutes currently), and B) a new slave is being created. This should scale up to some rather large portrait folders, and I plan to make the cache time configurable so if it's a really large collection and really slow computer, you could disable expiration entirely.

I am thinking of some improvements to the portrait image select dialog. I have a half-working on-demand load which is critical if the collection grows to huge levels.  Additionally was thinking, could display matched attribute data for portraits as a tooltip, so if you ever have a doubt if a portrait is matching correctly, you can check.

You're overthinking this, there is no template. It looks for each tag anywhere in the path. info.txt details all tags.

Halfkinfox/female/BlondTitsB.png
female/Halfkinfox/TitsBBlonde.png
HalfkinfoxfemaleBlondeTitsB.png
Mousekin'sAwesomePortraits/Halfkinfox.BlondTitsB.female.png

All of those will work and come up with the same result.

Its easier to have a template when you are manually renaming lots and lots of files. How about something like: 

Sex-Race-Age-Skin-FurColor-HairColor-EyeColor-Tits-Ass-Attribute1-Attribute2-Attribute...

Example:

Female-HalfkinWolf-Adult-PaleSkin-BrownHair-RedEyes-SmallTits-SmallAss-AnimalEars-AnimalTail

I have no idea what the filters for unimplemented attributes will be but for now I think Ill work on renaming following this template.

EDIT: actually do hyphens work as word separators? 

Yeah, on latest version

I was hoping this would be an official feature at some point since its kind of an obvious thing to add if the main npcs already have them. It would require a  re-check for every image in existing packs again but thats is something I can deal with. Its an extra feature with no downsides, those who want to use it will use it and those who dont will not. With that said, if the main developers do not go for it and if its something you can do without exerting yourself than plz by all means go ahead, I and pretty much every player would enjoy it as well.

That, or I was thinking a minimum match count? If it's below the count, then depending on filter it rolls back, or quits.  Race and Gender quit,  age maybe does an intelligent rollback,  where child loosens to include teens,  teen loosens to include adult?  Default of like 10, but changeable in settings?

Try re-installing your game, your backup files are probably broken.  Bugs in some prior versions could lead to bad backup being made. Make a fresh extract of the game and apply there.

If you want to see the full errors though, run the game fro ma command prompt and the output goes there, and stays there after it exits.

I haven't tested it with 0.5.19 yet. Unfortunately the mod is probably fairly version specific if they're going to keep changing the code the mod applies to.

Edit: Just downloaded 0.5.19, applied the mod,  no unexpected errors seen. Ran game again, did a quickstart,  starting slave got a random portrait as expected,  and random portrait button works. Same with slaves at slave trader.

Will need more information to know what's going wrong for you.  Are you starting a new game to test this? Are you applying any other mods? What errors show up on the console? (there's always some that aren't actually a problem, but some might indicate what's going wrong).  You can run the game from a command prompt and then the errors persist after the game closes.

Unfortunately 0.5.19a is broken, mod won't work with it. Will have to wait for a fixed 0.5.19b.  The regex change mentioned in the changelog broke single-line variables added in a mod, which this mod depends upon. The "var randomportraits = null" line from my mod no longer gets inserted.

This would be rather painful to implement with how the game currently works. I don't see myself implementing this.

I've found the best way is delete the mod and the backup file install the gam, start it the reinstall the mod

It does work with delayed portrait loading.

That would have nothing to do with this mod.  Also likely has nothing to do with the delayed portrait loading mod either.

Nope, you can look at th emod and see what files it modifies, newsexsystem.gd is not one of those.

By "activated it in the mods menu" do you mean checked it, and clicked apply? Which results in the game exiting.

To get logs, run the game from a shell prompt.  it outputs to the shell all the messages.  If there's no Random Portrait button, then the mod did not apply correctly.  You might need to extract a fresh copy of the game, and apply the mod again, thus time running it from the shell, to see what errors might happen.  Some errors are normal though, so if anything can be worth while to run the game, and exit it once, just to see what normally happens.  Then run it again, apply the mod, and see if any different errors appear. I don't know if mods work on Mac as I haven't read of anyone trying and my only mac is a work laptop.

The game has it's own random portrait code, but it *only* uses race, so that's likely what you saw get applied.

Delayed portrait loading got integrated into 0.5.21, stop using it, it will definitely break things.   I haven't tested it, but their patch notes noted they pulled it into the official game.

portrait.gd

Line 21, you'd want to change like this I think, haven't tested.

filterRegex.compile('(?!dark ?)elf')

This will make sure it doesn't match just "elf" on files named "Dark Elf"

then later on you'd want to change line 26 like this, so it'll support both with and without spaces.

if file.findn(race.replace(' ','')) >= 0 || file.findn(race >= 0:

Entire file,  and again i didn't test these but should roughly work.

I don't believe so. Most mods need to be somewhat heavily reworked to be compatible with the latest version.

I can't say I read back through this thread any, but I would imagine it should be taken one step further.

(?<!dark\s*)

Here's a quick guide, it may cover stuff you already know.

This mod does not include any portraits, you need to download them separately and put them in the AppData's "portraits" or "bodies" folders.

This mod should be extracted from the zip archive into the AppData's "mods" folder.  Be sure that the path fits the form of "Strive/mods/<modname>/info.txt", as it will not install correctly if there are more or less folders in the path. (If the mod is in the folder named "randomportraits1.0", then it is probably wrong.)

Once in place, mods are applied to the game through the "Mods" panel located in the game's main screen. Select the mods to be applied, then press "Apply".  The game will attempt to apply the mods, but will not inform you of any problems that occurred.  Thus, mods need to be verified manually.  This mod can generally be verified by loading a progress, select a slave, open the Customization tab, and look for the "Random Portrait" button.  If present, then the mod has successfully been applied, though it may still conflict with other mods.

If you could please share with me the tweaked version, I cannot find a way to make it work for me. :)

No, there is absolutely zero chance of this working with conquest. You followed a link to this mod from another part of the Strive for Power forums not from the Conquest forums.

Side note, this is the old version of the random portraits mod, though that has no impact on your question as neither version will work for Conquest.
