950+ Additional Portraits collection for Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening

[brianpk80]

This is an update of the collection posted for Taishi, now with extras added for Awakening.
They can be added manually or as a collection to the game.

Is there a quick guide on how/where to insert which pictures to where. I just dl'ed whole bunch of them and im confused as to where to insert them

[brianpk80]

Sure. If you download the GRP folder and replace the GRP folder in your KoeiTecmo/NOBU16_EN folder (and back up originals). it will have 950+ portraits already loaded in the Create Officer/Edit Officer Face screen.

If you want to add them manually, there is the portrait tool on the start menu. It is tedious though as you have to crop each picture 5 different ways and times. Be sure to select "Activate Transparency" as this is what makes the character's face and body appear without the background.

After the update, I will upload a file that additionally assigns most of the portraits to existing officers. I plan to upload the big update on 3/1. There have been partial ones since. Hope that helps.

What tool/software do you use to get these portraits? I'm looking for a Nobu16PicTool for Awakening, since the Nobu14PicTool doesn't seem to work with Nobu16.

I've used NA14 and 15 PicTool and neither work for NA16. For now, I don't need to extract anything from NA16 but if they release NA17 and cut many of the good portraits we want to re-add, it will be a hassle acquiring them.

I believe the Taishi PicTool worked to get the ones from that game so they could be added to Shinsei. For the portraits collection, they come from earlier games, games not released in English, special releases, and work of some artists as well as indiviudals who can make NA16 portraits out of raw material KOEI has posted.

The portraits update is uploading right now and I'll post the link here when it finishes.

It's almost finished uploading and should be complete by the time most people click the link.

I am curious why Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening doesn't release more portraits? We are indebted to you.
