Luxembourg Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Oh, there aren't any new portraits, at least not so far as I am aware; my apologies for not being clearer. I meant that the DLC's portraits were overriding the ones I changed in the game's OfficialContent-->Resources folder. But it's actually not a problem -- I realised that the portrait files associated with the DLC are in the CacheV3 folder in the ProgramData folder for Academagia, under either the "9e7817f5-e996-4b3d-8306-64151e6e5159" folder or the "ee6e198e-1643-4805-afa4-9d638564e236" folder, and so I replaced their entries in both of them with my own. I'm pleased to say that the portraits were effectively and easily replaced and showing up in-game, even with the DLC active. I'm feeling a bit of chagrin that I found the solution to my problem so shortly after posting about it here, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Well, That's a bizarre problem, but I'm glad you solved it. And don't worry about the thread necro. Reviving the dead is not strictly illegal, though perhaps slightly unnerving to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yep, you got it Luxembourg. In addition you don't "need" to replace the portraits in the cashe, though it is a good way to do it. If you wish to save time (though not harddrive space) you can delete the cashe. The game will remake it again, using the portraits that you changed in the /officialcontent/resources/ folder. Hope you enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wipeout1024 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 So, I've figured out how to replace portraits with my own ones, but I'm still confused as to how I can get rid of the white corners in them while playing the game. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 You have to make the background transparent, which is something that Paint can't do. As for what can...*shrugs*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wipeout1024 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 How can Academagia read the file, though? Can it read .jpg and .png files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 It can. The non-transparent background, AKA the white border, is an issue with the file itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wipeout1024 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 So, theoretically, if I were to convert the original portrait into a png, and then replace it, it should have a transparent background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 As far as I know, no, it'd just copy over the white border to the new format. You need something to replace the white border with a void, but beyond Paint being unable to do it I don't know what convenient program can.

Metis Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Possibly. Beyond "Paint can't do it" I don't know. Heck, maybe Paint can do it and I just don't know where to find the function, but I've looked before and I didn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wipeout1024 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Well, I'll keep on working at it, and update you with anything new. Anyways though, at least the new UI doesn't showcase the entire portrait most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Finally finished my run. Loved the game, but was a little disappointed by the limited character portraits. So, I used the existing portraits to create my own, and since I put some effort to create them I might as well share them. I leave these here if someone else wants to use them.
