no problem. gaston-henri billote is also missing their portrait, using a generic instead

No, thank you for spotting. They will be corrected for next update.

Henry Freydenberg & Rene Olry use generic portraits. Was this intended?

cool, thank you, I will get him back in.

In vanilla, he’s an old guard chief of army advisor for the PRC.

Who is otto braun again? I looked in some vanilla character files but didn't see him.

Also otto braun was missing. Forgot to mention him, would he by chance be back or was he intentionally absent?

Their portraits were left untouched so this is a PDX issue. I've noticed with mods active graphics that appear and disappear (or default to generics) even when they are coded correctly. I manually put the path in now for the next update which should solve the issue. But PRC is going to have to be completely redone again after the new DLC along with everyone else.

noticed a bug w/ zhu de & peng dehuai. They have unique advisor portraits, but when this mod is turned on, they use generic asian advisor portraits instead

It seems to have been a bug of some sort caused by these two mods running together. Fortunately he was able to get it sorted out.

Imperator, I'm not sure why that would interfere because there's no need to add the character file to add a fourth inner circle slot. Strange. Rdunlavey, got anybody in mind for Spain? My basic criteria for adding people is that they should be historically significant (division commanders or above) and have good portraits available.

Hey could you add stuff for spain plssss

Hey remember how I brought to your attention awhile back my issue of Wilhelm Bittrich and the SS Officer trait disappearing? Along with all the other SS Generals and Himmler having the Militia Officer trait instead? And you speculated it to be a mod conflict? Well, I finally got around to checking that out, and you were right.

The culprit was 'Four[sic] Inner Circle Slot for Germany' by atkosturuyom. On closer inspection, it was actually screwing with quite a number of German Generals, as I noticed Bittrich wasn't the only one missing, a lot were.

Thanks, Manga. They're done, just making sure there's nothing else to fix before posting.

Also he has a KX portrait under the name Chen Ce iirc

Chan Chak was an ROC admiral who broke out of Hong Kong with a couple of torpedo boats, just as the japanese were entering the city. He was originally there as the ROC's liaison to ensure supplies could flow into China from Hong Kong

Yes, adding admirals to the PRC is something I wanted to do. Zhang Aiping and Xiao Jinguang will be added. I don't have a portrait for Liu Huaqing. Who is Chan Chak? I am not familiar with him. Also, we will see who if anyone PDX adds to the game with the new DLC.

would it be possible to add Chan Chak/Chen Ce to china as an admiral, or would that be too much of a stretch?

Would it also be too much of a stretch to add Zhang Aiping, Xiao Jinguang, or Liu Huaqing as admirals to the PRC? I understand this is probably too early for them to historically be there, but they were alive, and having no admirals besides when playing as the PRC is a little sad.

Hey demon, the mod looks impressive, but for this mod I wanted the portrait art to be consistent. Also the priority for generals is for field army and army group commanders, along with those who will rise up the ranks. If I could add more generals they would be as division commanders, but currently there is no way to queue division commanders and portraits similar to the way you can create division name lists.

The generals are too few, you can check mod: New Era, Germany has 100 generals, the major powers all have 50-60 generals, including the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, the Republic of China, the People's Republic of China, etc. Link: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1659548946&searchtext=%E6%96%B0%E7%BA%AA%E5%85%83

Witold Pilecki is a general again.

Thanks, will square him away.

just ran the mod solo, witold pilecki is still missing as a general, but the files say he should exist, so i'm not sure where he's gone

Not at this time, man. I was working on a big overhaul for the trait system, but it will take time to add to the characters and test. If you have anybody specific you're looking for, feel free to post. If a good color portrait is available, I can add them in.

i was asking new officers

@pc_suffering: The mod edits the character files, so it would be be compatible with any other mod that adds or changes characters. For the white generals, as well as all "alternate" generals who come with DLCs, change of ideology, etc. I did not touch any of the conditions that cause the, to appear, such as decisions or focuses. Some of them, though, I may have adjusted their skill level/general traits to align them with the rest of the mod. Can't remember offhand if I did this for the whites. But they will available the same way they are in vanilla, unless they are overwritten by another mod.

@Manga: He shows up fine in mine, so not sure of the conflict?

@Tony: What am I updating? The mod is updated to current release of HOI4.

any update soon ?

witold pilecki isn't with poland at the start. did they go somewhere?

mostly or fully untouched?

Yes, for SOV the Red Army generals are updated, and NSB white generals left mostly untouched. This is true for most alt history generals from the DLC, as I didn't want to break focus trees and decisions.

only SOVIET generals or White as well?

update pls

has anyone ever made a r56 compatable version?

update pls

GeneralMacek, any mod that changes the character files will conflict with this one. E.g. French Generals, Historical portraits. You can try to change the load order in your browser but one mod will simply overwrite the other. Linear XP Gain should be OK as that's just a LUA file, although this mod was made with the original XP gain in mind, so the Linear XP will likely see generals rapidly grabbing traits. There is, unfortunately, no way around the character file conflicts without making dozens of patches for every possible combination. Best bet is to try a load order based on your own priorities and see what works.

I am also using Historical portraits. Is that an issue too?

I might have an issue the generals are not showing up.

I use Linear XP Gain for Generals and French Generals rework, Wolfenstein Characters, some TNO generals and unique generals in my modpack for Germany.

Do I need to take all of them out for this mod to work?

Big update for CHI and PRC. Added more generals and admirals for FRA. (1940 and Free French). Many thanks to talented artists who are credited above.

@Vincent: Thank you. I would think this should work OK if loaded after EAI, since most of their character changes are AI weight. But never can tell; it's a big overhaul mod.

@Imperator: Bittrich working fine on my end, in fact, I think he's the only one who doesn't come with Himmler inner circle. This sounds like a conflict.

What happened to the SS Officer trait? It's missing, and so is Wilhelm Bittrich.

There's portraits for Guan Linzheng & Huang Wei in the mod's files, but they don't appear in-game. I was wondering if they were planned on being added in the future, or if this is a similar case to that folder of unused chinese generals.

Absolutely amazing mod. Just really wish it worked with Expert AI, though I understand why these things are rarely the case.

Both mods utilize the same files. You'd have to build a hybrid from scratch, and also check each portrait because it would be a mixture of B&W photos and color painted art. Unfortunately, not a possibility. Also, did a bunch of testing to see how a RT56 patch would go. It would be a big job with lots of error checking. Not saying never, but definitely not soon.

Can you make this mod compatible with Historical Portraits?

Updated to 1.16.4. Bugfixes.

Me waiting for someone to make a RT56 compatch for this: [skeleton sitting at table tapping fingers]

Updated for 1.16.2. Himmler gets ss trait (by hidden event so this may take a minute after he spawns). Von der Goltz is fixed; they added an OR block. Ordo, nothing yet on generals for country packs. If PDX failed to provide sufficient generals for expanded nations again, I'd have to start by looking for good color portraits.

Coach, I have been playing the new DLC "graveyards". I started with Iran and they really need more generals. Probably the others do two. Do you intend to add any for those four countries?

Hi, I noticed while playing cossack/bermontian poland, the field marshall rudiger von der goltz doesn't appear with this mod. You're supposed to get them along with avalov through a focus.

yeah

Now that Field Marshal Himmler is gained through a focus can he have the SS trait?
