stapomog 0.1.2

Tool to quickly create Static Portrait Mods for Crusader Kings 2

CK2 STAtic POrtrait MOd Generator

A quick tool to generate static portrait mods for Crusader Kings 2.

Install

Install with pip install stapomog. Make sure to use pip3 if Python 3 isn't your default version.

Use

Copy all your image files into a folder. There's no need to crop them into circles, but make sure your character's face is somewhat centered. Name the files following the pattern name_minage-maxage.ext. Everything after the first dot is ignored, so you can have multiple files with the same attributes.

Example:

hannah_20-30.png # will be used for the "hannah" portrait between ages 20 and 30
steve_30-36.jpg	# will be used for the "steve" portrait between ages 30 and 36
mike_35-40.alternate.jpeg # will be used for the "mike" portrait between ages 35 and 40
emily_-30.png # will be used for the "emily" portrait up to age 30
tiffany.jpg # will be used for the "tiffany" portrait at any age

Then simply run the command stapomog (folder). It will generate a new mod in the folder stapomog_portrait_mod. Merge this folder with your existing mod or use it as a standalone mod (make sure to create a .mod file).

You can now assign the new portraits by adding traits with events, decisions or console commands - they are simply named portrait_(name).

If you add additional pictures, you can simply update your existing mod (even if you moved and renamed it) by running stapomog (modfolder). Keep in mind that updating mods midgame will break your savegames if traits are added or removed.
