Aragwaithi portraits

[cooljeanius]

I've found an artist who has been doing portrait commissions for "A New Order" for me at a reasonable rate; I'm thinking I might ask her to do some Aragwaithi portraits next. Having some guidance here would be helpful.

The race descriptions and unit descriptions would be your goto. However, if you need an example on what they may look like:

Are there any specific ones you think should be prioritized?

Not really. Will there be portraits for level 1s and level 2s? Level 3s can mostly use the level 2 ones.

[cooljeanius]

Good point, I should probably just start with level 1s first, and then do higher levels later as time and money permit...

[cooljeanius]

One thing to note is that mounted units are a bit more expensive, so the Eagle Rider and Scout will probably be a little bit lower priority...

[knyghtmare]

No rush. TSoL and Cata:BoG and Cata2 are nowhere near ready for a release.

The race descriptions and unit descriptions would be your goto.

Speaking of which, this might be a good time to review some of the unit descriptions... for example, the description for Adepts says that they are "competent with their staves" but they don't actually have a staff attack? Their attacks are just kick and fireball...

The person assigned to rewriting those kind of went on his usual wesbreaks so no clue when revan will return. So, if someone (preferably a writer) can get better descriptions done, I wouldn't hold them back from adding those in.

I'm working on a PR to update descriptions; I haven't filed it yet, but work is on this branch so far: https://github.com/cooljeanius/War_of_Legends/tree/egallager_description_updates

[knyghtmare]

I updated Adept and Sorceress descriptions just now lol

[knyghtmare]

also, if only text updates, make PR on master/1.16, but no wmllint and wmlindent on master since I maintain both 1.16 and 1.17 versions so one mismatch can cause conflicts

All wmllint did in #79 was to insert some missing newlines at some ends of files; I don't see how that can cause conflicts...

[knyghtmare]

Well, it did not..for the master branch. Cannot really backport it since some changed files are different/absent between the 1.16 and 1.17 releases. So, can you make a new PR with the new .pot for the 1.16 branch?

just the new .pot, or...?

[knyghtmare]

just the new .pot, or...?

A fresh pot file if you wish since some strings were changed and some units were added to mainline. They are still in 1.16 of the addon. So the .pot files will be different

ok, see #81

Any progress on the actual portrait?

oh right it's a new month, so I ought to have money for commissioning portraits again... let me get back to that artist I've been commissioning from...

[cooljeanius]

information that would be helpful when making commission requests (in general):

• what certain hard-to-discern features on the sprites are (like, a full list of all of their items of clothing and props)
• what sort of pose they should be in (like, which frame from which animation to base it on)
• what color to pretend the team-colored parts are

Nobility mage clothes. Adepts are revered in Aragwaithi society much like how mages are in Witcher society.

what sort of pose they should be in (like, which frame from which animation to base it on)

No preference, maybe the base.

what color to pretend the team-colored parts are

Green / dark green / grass green

[knyghtmare]

@cooljeanius can this be closed (since the sorceress portrait has been added) or is there any notion of another portrait?

[cooljeanius]

I intend to commission more portraits later, but it's not something I'm actively pursuing currently

Okay, I will close this one so you can open another issue ticker when you decide to commission a portrait.
