Portraits...

I think I'm getting close in understanding how to apply the proper portrait to an OOB. I did refer to SDK which sort of confirmed my thinking. I'm trying to apply the correct portrait to a Shiloh OOB. I've spent a lot of time on this with no results except less hair but further gaining knowledge of how the files work together. Example: Bragg Portrait from Chickamauga cannot be applied to Bragg from Shiloh....Army Commander to Corp Commander. Is my understanding correct?

Anyways to simplify for now...
*Is there a Shiloh OOB with correct portraits? If not, do I need the Picture Program to create one? If so...where do I get that?

To be continued I'm sure. Great game isn't it?

thanks,

You'll need the Graphics/Toolbar/CS_Portraits_LVL3.dds file with Bragg added to get your Shiloh OOB mod to work. My TC2M Shiloh mod died over a decade ago along with that computer so I'm of little help with furthering your quest. Good Luck...

Thank you sir...Making great progress understanding related file management.

Questions....
What is purpose of "gui" file in Logistics Folder?
What is relevance of LVL 6 within the gui file?
Why is there no LVL 2 in Portraits?

thanks again,

gui - Graphical User Interface -- Toolbar
Lvl6 - lowest echelon (rank) -- Regiment, or for SR1 play - Company or Battalion
Lvl2 - Wing Commander

Ok...I'm up and running with Portraits and Flags applied to a Shiloh OOB and into a Working Mod. I basically made another Mod which combined only Flag and Portrait Files to suit my application. I used some "Complete Portraits" Files and apply them to all LVL's...made life easy for me. I don't have all the Union Portraits but I can live with that...

Please take care and thanks for what you do for the few of us that still play SOW....
