About this mod

- Permissions and credits
These portraits are distributed as follows:
- 42 new HEGEMONY portraits
- 30 new SINDRIAN DIKTAT portraits
- 28 new TRI-TACHYON portraits
- 36 new PERSEAN LEAGUE portraits
- 50 new LUDDIC CHURCH / LUDDIC PATH portraits
- 104 new INDEPENDENT portraits
- 76 new PIRATE portraits
Unless otherwise stated, the portraits for More Character Portraits were primarily created by kitbashing vanilla Starsector portraits (i.e. swapping heads with armor, etc) and then stitching the composites together using Stable Diffusion (AUTOMATIC1111) via the img2img process to create derivative images, with post-process editing in Photoshop (color tone, resizing, adding additional details, etc) to create the final versions included within this pack.
Method #1: Kitbashing

Method #2: img2img Recycling

OPTIONAL MODS:
More Pixel Character Portraits
A version of More Character Portraits in a crunchier "pixel portrait" style.
More Character Portraits - Vanilla

More Pixel Character Portraits - Vanilla
A version of the vanilla portrait replacer in a crunchier "pixel portrait" style.
More Character Portraits - Individual Mod Expansion Packs
Provides additional portraits (and optional replacements) to several mod factions:
26 new portraits for Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering.
41 new portraits for Diable Avionics.
28 new portraits for the Interstellar Imperium.
26 new portraits to the game for ScalarTech Solutions.
30 new portraits to the game for the Star Federation.
38 new portraits to the game for the Xhan Empire.
28 new portraits to the game for United Pamed.
Please note that these portraits are neither supported nor endorsed by the authors of the faction mods, may not represent the faction author's "vision" of how officers of that faction might look, and should not be considered "official" in any capacity.
Note¹: This pack does not require any of the mods that it adds portraits to. All portraits are available for player character use. Portraits for specific factions will only appear in-game if that faction is installed. Refer to the included readme file for more details.
Note²: In collaboration with Caymon Joestar, an optional standalone version of the Diable Avionics portraits can be found via the Diable Avionics forum page. (Below the "Click here to download" button). The portraits included in the standalone pack are identical to the ones found here, so you don't need both.
Note³: Support for HMI, Brighton Federation, and Roider Union are now included as part of the main More Character Portraits mod instead of having their own unique portrait files. Please also note that the previous unique Roider Union portraits have been removed.
CREDITS:
Of the 366 portraits in the main pack, 78 images from other portrait packs were used as a base or as a source of parts for kitbashing.
These packs are as follows:
2 x images from: Battletech Portrait Pack (by Chozo / Harebrained Schemes)
4 x images from: Immersion Friendly Portrait Pack (Red) (by Kwenchin)
29 x images from: Interesting Portrait Pack (by Interestio)
43 x images from: Starsector Portr-Ai-t Pack and Ai Model (by Severian Void)
Special thanks to Fractal Softworks artist David Baumgart, without whom there would be no portraits.
No images from other portrait packs have been used in the add-on packs.
(please don't saturation bomb me)
USAGE:
Please feel free to use these portraits as a source to create your own portraits, or for use in your own mod (where permitted).
However, as the majority of these portraits are derivatives of vanilla Starsector portraits, please do not use them for mods for other games.
MANUALLY UPGRADING / DOWNGRADING:
If you would like More Character Portraits to work with newer or older versions of Starsector, open the mod_info.json file and change the "gameVersion": value to the version of Starsector that you're currently using.
