update please

These no longer work as of the latest update.

AI empires with the Dalek portrait cannot be force spawned for some reason

Is there any way to move the portraits for the daleks/cybermen into the Machine portrait group so that they can be used as robot pops?

This is such a cool mod. I checked it out in-game and I'm not experiencing any missing textures like TurtleShroom, thankfully. I love how you've managed to more-or-less replicate the game's art style without sacrificing the iconic LOOK of these baddies! Super impressed.

Okay, so I checked, and for some reason, the Cybermen is blank and the errors say a PNG image is missing...

Species Portraits haven't changed, Medicinal. This should work perfectly.

shame, I like this mod

Is this mod going to be made for 2.5+ ?

Nvm just needed cybernetic dawn dlc lol

Cybermen aren’t compatible for any of the government options...help

this mod still alive?

it doesnt work

I can do it. I discovered how the subspecies works. All you need to do is have all four Species Portraits available, implemented, and functioning.

You overestimate my coding skills.

Suggestion: put the two Cybermen classes in the same Species Class, as two Species Portraits. Do the same with the Daleks. Write an Event, in case both spawn in one galaxy, to make the older one a subspecies of the newer one.

Take as much time as you need

Am trying to move both the old portraits into a Legacy phenotype - since IMO they're outdated compared to my plans. Having more trouble than it's worth doing that though - so I might just leave that for another day.

Alright guys, permission is a-go.

If Paradox adds full body portraits, it will kill three years of animated portraits. Unacceptable.

Though as an aside, I may also wait to see what comes of the whole leg thing. Cause if it turns out that Paradox really are adding legs to all the portraits, then I might as well wait - lest for all my hard work we just half the levitating torso of a Cyberman suspended in mid-air.

It's your choice, but keep in mind that your only obligation is to give full credit and links to the original author's content. As long as you aren't passing it as your own and make sure others can see the original (etc.), you're basically free to do as you wish.

No, as in the new portrait I'm using is made from a fan-made model of a Cyberman - unlike BBC concept art and vanilla assets, as the current one is. It's not particularly good on my end if I just use it wholesale without them knowing.

First, V2.4 is universally backwards compatible with all other Mods, but V2.3.3 is not compatible with V2.4 .

Second, you don't need permission to update. You already received permission from the original creator and as long as you give full credit and don't pass it as your own, permission is a courtesy.

Ok, thanks For responding, love this mod

I'm working on an update to the portraits right now, but I'm still waiting on permission from the artist of the base I used, so it'll probably be updated if/when that happens.

Just asking, this mod will update to 2.4.1 yeah?

Круть!)

@Guantlet

When you have a custom race use Vanilla rendition graphical cultures, it renames them. I have no idea why Paradox lets it do that, but that is the reason why. It doesn't affect the game at all.

I am not sure, TurtleShroom did the localisation, all I did was surface level programming and put in the GFX.

Newb question... but why does this rename city names and shipset names in the race customization menu?

Too bad you can't tie the different eras of Dr. Who to advances in civilization. The early Cybermen would have ballistic cloth and then move to the shiny suits before getting to the modern types. While the Daleks don't change much they do undergo some changes. The Peter Cushing movies even show some types not seen on the show, which would be interesting in an early game situation. That is, perhaps, a bit much to ask for in a mod like this, and the portraits are excellent as-is!

I prefer the redesign. It looks much closer to the ones from the newer show.

Personally, I prefer the one I am used to seeing.

None, yet. I plan to redo the dalek as part of a major update - who knows, maybe I'll try adding in civics or something.

nice the redesign in the link looks good, which mod is that one in?

Speaking of: How do you guys think about this redesign for the Dalek? https://i.imgur.com/WU6LOlu.png

I'm considering the possibility of setting up an organised road map, instead of just making singular static portraits which get animated later. Thinking of tweaking the Dalek and Cyberman, adding 'outfits', colours, perhaps even versions of the Cybermen for each phenotype, etc.

Hey, you have to do more species!!!

@Mortlock

Having never watched "Doctor Who", I was stunned to find out that the reason they aren't counted as robots is because they are actually truly organic. They match the Cybernetic Trait's definition to a "T". The robot shell you see is power armor and life support.

Don't forget Rusty, who's connected to the hive mind but has definitely gone rogue.

Love your comment about funny costumes, Nice mod btb

Daleks IMO are Fanatical Purifiers. The 'Dalek Hive-Mind' doesn't seem to be a gestalt, from what I can tell, more just like a super-Internet that links all of them together. Case in point: Daleks have personalities, and some have different voices.

I love this, why are daleks not considered as robots tho? Ik they are more cyborgs, but having them as a none gestalt empire feels wrong, and ofc they need to be genocidal but devouring swarm doesnt feel right either.

Eh, nothing but humans in funny costumes.

Needs Gallifreyans.

@Khaosbydesign

Yes! Look up "The Greys". It might be called "Little Green Men".

These are fantastic, anyone know of a flying saucer style ship set to put with those Daleks?

I would recommend it

When doing step one, do you submit the edit?
