Is there a way to make Starsector only use modded Portraits?
« on: October 31, 2023, 03:13:13 AM »

Just wondering since I did try looking around to see if anyone had asked this before but either I didn't look hard enough or nobody has yet asked this. Also sorry I'm pretty new here so if there's some simple solution then I just wouldn't really know about that.

Any response appreciated!

Not that I know if. I did just copy a bunch into the Star Sector main graphics directory, replacing vanilla portraits, in the end.

THEORETICALLY if you went into starsector-core/data/world/factions and removed every faction's known portraits, then made a mod to add custom portraits to each faction, you could completely scrub all vanilla portraits from the game. Maybe. I have no idea if this would work or not.

Or you could just replace the portrait files themselves.

I don't really know how to mod sadly but just replacing them generally could work?

Thanks for the suggestion guys! I'll give it a try and see if that works then.
