Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
So for anyone who's having load errors, turns out the version provided just had a syntax error in the JSON, and the mod is actually 100% compatible.Long story short, to get it to work, do this:1. Open "data/world/factions/persean_league.faction" (without the quotes). This will be directly inside the Portrait Pack folder in the mods directory, so if your starsector is installed in C:\Program Files(x86), this would be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Fractal Softworks\Starsector\mods\Portrait pack\data\world\factions\persean_league.faction".2. The first five lines should be this:Code{ "portraits":{ "standard_male":[ "standard_male":[ "graphics/portraits/prt_2.png",Simply remove one of the duplicated lines.
{ "portraits":{ "standard_male":[ "standard_male":[ "graphics/portraits/prt_2.png",
I personally didn't draw them, those are sprites ripped from Front Mission 2 and 3, plus a few other ones from TrashMan own portrait pack.However, all of them have been tweaked to fit SS's original art a bit more. All of them have been resized via http://waifu2x.udp.jp/, which gives a neat painted effect that is hard to reproduce otherwise. I duplicated the original layer and did a high pass (radius 2) on it, set the layer as "vivid light" at roughly 40/50% opacity to get a sharper, more pronounced look, like David's original portraits. Plus some brightness/contrast/saturation/smart sharpen on top of that. Also a black background, obviously.Like this :Spoiler[close]
Dumb question here but can I use this portrait mod in conjunction with another portrait mod? Will this cause compatibility issue?

But some people reported slow behavior in some situation (like character creation) if too many portraits are in a game. However this takes no (or minor) effect on general gameplay, and require more than couple portrait pack installed.
