Is this headgear correct for spymasters? I see it on several of them in my game. If it is correct, what is it exactly?

Lol Never mind... it's medieval coif, so I guess it could make sense for the spymaster to wear one.

I downloaded Better Looking Garbs and tried it out over the weekend. First, I noticed that although the mod says it's compatible with Ironman achievements, the game says it's not (New checksum of VVIU). I tried opening an existing game with the mod running, and noticed some odd activity; namely the faces of some characters disappeared. Not a big deal, I don't normally expect backward compatibility. But are these normal?
I assume this could help and....
quote the opening post and the readme:
I can't assist in any other way.
...That's odd, because my game is saying that I am using BLG/CC with Ironman Acheivements. I'll post a screenshot when I get the chance.
I would like Catholic bishops in the east to use the religious garb of eastern Christians (Orthodox, Maronite, Coptic, etc.).
What do I need to do? It needs to be tied more to geographic region than culture; suppose you had a Russian or Syrian bishop of Rochester, they would wear conventional (Western) Catholic mitre. But a Catholic bishop in Beirut, or Egypt, or Novogrod, etc. would have eastern clerical garb regardless of the Bishop's own culture.

The regular religious clothing system is only based on religions. You can probably make something with an clothing override portrait lie
Code:
spriteTypes = {
portraitType = {
name = "PORTRAIT_clothing_male_priest"
effectFile = "gfx/FX/portrait.lua"
weight = {
additive_modifier = {
value = 1000
portrait_clothing = yes
portrait_government = theocracy_government
OR = {
portrait_religion = catholic
#...
}
}
}
layer = {
"GFX_religious_male_clothes_behind:c0"
"GFX_religious_male_headgear_behind:c1"
"GFX_religious_male_clothes:c2"
"GFX_empty:c3"
"GFX_empty:c4"
"GFX_religious_male_headgear:c5"
}
allow_property_values = {
3 = {
1 = {
portrait_culture_group = central_germanic
#...
}
2 = {
portrait_culture_group = byzantine
#...
}
11 = {
portrait_culture_group = arabic
#...
}
}
5 = {
#Same list
}
}
}
}Solved it.
Turned out I had gotten the BLG/CC installed without the BLG. A couple reinstalls later, and everything looks better.
When i started to play, all the portraits of the characters were out of the circle frame. Also, when i tried changing the beard and hairstyle of my character, his portrait keep getting bigger and more outside of the frame.
Check if other mods are replacing character graphics, it's probably mismatching frame counts. If you are using CK2+ activate the compatibility submod.
Has this mod been updated to CK+ (4.07.2), i am getting "checksum invalid" pop up at start of game when running this with CK+ 4.07.2.
Using CK+ 4.07.2 works fine, the checksums drift apart a lot quicker than the actual mechanics.
Is it possible to somehow make this mod compatible with Tubbs' Better Faces Submod for AGOT? I love his portraits, but I also love your clothes and effects ^^'
KK, so far I haven't come across anything weird & the game seems to be running normal (despite the checksum problem). TA for the reply.
i'm not sure if it affects anything else but it fucks up the latin culture under crusaders, could affect something else
BLG is one of my favorite little mods, and it has been a staple for me to use it.
Recently I thought I'd finally give CK2+ a try... however it keeps crashing to desktop.
It appears to be directly the "BLG / CC for CK2+."
Running just CK2+ or Just BLG with the patch for CK2+ unchecked works fine. It crashes directly to desktop the moment the game is loading up after launch if I check it. Playing with it would be essential has my portraits are completely out of whack.
Anyone ever seen this problem tried reinstalling both mods. All of these items are fully up to date.

Are you testing without any other extra mods? *cough*Ruler Designer Unlocked*cough*

So I'm not certain whats happening but using BLG makes it so that all characters use their base graphics (base as in pure vanilla, excluding graphical DLCs as well). The game was fine a week ago, I changed nothing, it just suddenly changed. Any idea what is happening?
