Hi there, I am playing the reds in a pbem, I have noticed a small cosmetic bug, when I get Timoshenko as a general he has no portrait picture, its just blank red, just thought I would let you know

Happens also to other generals activated through event (I reported that in the Polish-Soviet War thread, both Hallers involved).
Cheers

The disappearing Timoshenko graphic is my fault. Originally the graphic was part of my leader graphics mod. When the SEPRUS team implemented that mod in their offical patch a bug from my mod slipped in.

In the case of S.K. Timoshenko the issue is the name of the leader graphic: currently it's Unit_RED_S.K.Timoshenko for some reason the dots in that name seem to prevent the engine from loading this graphic. If changed to Unit_RED_SKTimoshenko it works. However the mdl file and the army.png need to be adjusted accordingly. I reported this issue when I did some testing for the latest patch. Unfortunately it must have slipped through the cracks. Hopefully your thread will help to change that.

J. Haller and S.Haller have the same problem: the leader graphics are named Unit_POL_J.Haller and Unit_POL_S.Haller. Same problem, same fix. And my fault as well. I wasn't aware that one has to avoid dots when naming leader graphics at the time. Mea culpa. Hopefully the SEPRUS team can fix this in a future patch.

Did you notice any other graphics with the same problem?


Concerned leaders:

- S. K. Timoshenko: mdl 1050
- J. Haller: mdl 1656
- S. Haller: mdl 1687

Thanks for the info mate, that helped a lot. Hope I fixed it, will check the next time I'm in-game.
Cheers

Thanks... I will rename the files and take the dots out

Don't forget to change the reference in the mdl files, too (RUS\GameData\Models). Also you need to delete the models.cached in the same folder. A new one will be automatically generated the next time you load the game.

Hi again,

here are a few mdl corrections.
these should fix the following...(unless of course I did something stupid)

987 Kniaginsky.. becomes generic on promotion (fixed)
1242 Abramov(DON) starts with 'generic' -portrait appears on promotion (fixed)
1238 Poliakov starts with Poliakov image changes to Fitskhelaurov on promotion(fixed)
1237 Kudinov starts generic and becomes Poliakov on promotion (now remains generic)

remember as OAM says you must delete the models cache file after installing these or the changes will not take place.

Are they included in 1.05 now?
