Title: [0.97a] Battletech Portrait Pack
Post by: Chozo on June 06, 2021, 11:00:33 AM
Do you guys like Battletech?

Of course you do, I've seen the Discord.  So why not take a bunch of characters from that other game in a dystopian sci-fi future where mankind uses its precious, irreplaceable technology to kill each other and make them available in a game where mankind uses its precious, irreplaceable technology to kill each other?

Sweet!

Also thankful for the ship names. It's no coincidence one of my first pilots was Jerome Blake.

  • Do you want your character to be a parrot wearing sunglasses, but you're afraid that everyone is going to judge you if you download the furry portrait pack?  With this mod, you can!


I'm sold, must have mod really

  • Everybody from HBS' Battletech is here, even the awful guy (https://battletech.fandom.com/wiki/War_Boar) you immediately put in an unarmored Spider and send off to receive his viking funeral!


I had such a good laugh after reading about this guy wiki, can you tell me what that's all about, I'm a sucker for BT lore but never heard of him.

And now I don't even have to actually change the names, I can totally just leave the SLS as their faction identifier and the names will be right.

(Narrator: he kept changing the names to try and match the classes.)

He's one of the backer pilots (ronin) from the Battletech Kickstarter, where if you pledged $2000 or more you got to create a character that appears in the game.  Spending 2 grand to make a character with that backstory is either a poorly conceived joke or the product of someone who has described himself as a "sigma male" unironically.

This is cool; I hope it was done with permission and is allowed to stay.

Hah, never thought of BT/MW as a source of portraits when it should have been so obvious. The edits make most of them look right at home in SS, thanks for the mod.

Woah, a portrait pack that isn't full of anime girls

Excellent work - Battletech / Mechwarrior universe ties in with Starsector very well and they are pretty close thematically too so both portraits and the names blend in. Although stylistically the portraits are drawn in a slightly different style compared to vanilla, but this is minor really.

Are these portraits added to the faction lists for vanilla and mod factions?

They are added to your starting option for a portrait and they are added to all vanilla factions so you will see them as captains of faction fleet ships. If you would like to know what faction gets which portrait, you can go to data\world\factions and you can find the faction files that assign the portraits to each faction.

Cool thanks. Will add them to my list and see about adding in the factions form mods as well. Really want to expand the portraits that show up.

Awesome looking portraits, can't wait to become a true Periphery warlord with this. Though when'll this be updated for 0.96?

Now, although any portrait pack without any code-based features should work fine if you update the version number in the mod_info.json.
