Today let's have a look at the artworks featured in the Byzantine throneroom.
All credits due to Brian Abshier, Coemgenn and Atral for their respective illustration work.


Christ pantocrator : at the top of the main cupola, in his entire glory. It is mostly an eastern christian conception of the Christ "all-powerful", compared to the Christ as a martyr in the western Christianity.

--------------------------
Angels and peacocks: The later reproduces a famous byzantine mosaic. The angels are from Santa Prassede church (Rome), they were also used in the papal court.

--------------------------
Evangelists, Agnus Dei and the Cross:
* The four evangelists (Matthew, Mark , Luke and John) are the authors of the four canonical "Gospels" : the "good news" of Jesus. They are from Santa Prassede again and can also be seen in the Papal court.
* Agnus Dei : it takes off the sins of the world by its sacrifice. Inspired by the one in St. Johannis church, Soltau, Germany.
* The cross : while we don't know what was featured in the main eastern apse of the building, the educated guess was to pick this Cross from Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, Ravenna, Italy.

The angels and patriarchs :
Their repetition is an optimisation in the number of textures to avoid your GPU to melt down when you run CFP but the two are from Hagia Sophia, Instanbul.

---------
The Zoe Mosaic : last but not least, this is the most important and most complex artwork of this court.
This mosaic was rediscovered in 1934 in Hagia Sophia. It sits behind the throne as the Emperor and Empress rule at the sides of the Christ, just bellow him. The hierarchy the reaches the subjects of the empire, as the thrones are placed above a few stairs.

All mosaics were turned in frescos to preserve the quality and visibility of the illustrations.

Of course, if you're a Pagan or an Iconoclast, the room will be available without any Christian reference

I absolutely love this mod, but recently I can't use it without half of the characters in the game being nude and all the clothing options appearing as 'Portrait-modifier....'. How do I fix this issue?

I am also experiencing issues with the current build of the mod.

Here are my observations:
  • The mod version is the current version from Paradox Mods
  • I verified my game files and did a clean reinstall of the mod (unsubscribed on PDX mods, deleted the files on my hard disk, resubcribed on PDX mods)
  • Right now, I have only this mod activated
  • There are lots of naked characters in "The Struggle for Iberia" 867 bookmark
  • The "Wrath of the Northmen" 867 bookmark seems to work but again there are lots of naked characters
  • Selecting the "Great Adventureres" 867 bookmark results in a reproducible crash to desktop
  • Selecting bookmarks from 1066 seems to work and I haven't found any naked characters in the 1066 boomarks at a quick glance
  • Disabling the mod resolves all the issues above.
I think, it is unlikely only a user-related issue on my side. Since disabling the mod resolves all issues my vanilla games files should be perfectly fine. Maybe the files on the PDX mod distribution plattform are somehow corrupted? The issues seem especially severe in the 867 bookmarks.

There are suspicions that launcher's API can't handle too long paths
The big question being : why did it work previously and not anymore ?

Feel free to install CFP elsewhere and/or to use junctions to shorten the path

e.g.: My local dev build is in F:/CFP_Dev and I link this path in my Documents/blablabla/CFP.mod
 
Hello everyone.

I am new to CK3 Multiplayer and I tried some mods in Multiplayer with a friend and they worked without any issues. The problem is when I try to host a game with Community Flavor Pack mod enabled the game just crashes. Is this mod only for Singleplayer or I am missing something. I can send logs if needed, just send me your discord.
Thank you.
 
Faced with a problem in the form of naked characters. I tried reinstalling the mod, completely deleted all the folders in the documents, reinstalled the game and absolutely nothing helps.
This has never happened with previous versions of the mod
How do I fix this?

After the last update i have the wrong clothes on my iberian nobles. Only kings and queens dress in the finest clothes, however they insist on wearing western high nobility clothing instead of Iberian Christian clothing
All the more shocking are all the other low nobility who appear at court wearing peasant clothes.

Is there a solution to the misery or do we have to wait for an update. Sincerely
 
I come to suggest the addition of custom EMPIRE TIER CROWNS, I know there aren't many, but I say with custom models, I would suggest taking a look at the imperial crowns of various cultures from Crusader Kings 2, vanilla and the Better Looking Garbs and CPRplus mods. I find it strange that non-historical empires in ck3 only wear a bigger crown and have a lot of red on them. And honestly... It's just a bigger crown, very generic, unlike ck2, which imperial crowns are very unique.

I'm also having a lot of nude characters and can't fix the problem.
What I've done:
  • Verified integrity of the game files through Steam
  • Deleted and reinstalled CFP multiple times via SteamWorkshop.
  • Installed CFP manually with the last release from the wiki.
  • Created a junction so filepath were shorter (I wasn't having problems with this, but tried anyway tho)
All my tests were starting new games and CFP being the only mod active.

Hello, i'm having a problem, so when i log in into my game, it's crashed, so i thought that another mod cause this, but when i turned this mod off, the game didn't crash, so is it just me? any solution? thank you

Several reason can lead to your crash currently :
  1. Don't run old savegame
  2. Force reset mod's files (2 or 2b) : http://wiki.communityflavorpack.com/troubleshooting/force-reinstall
  3. A game issue : https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...of-the-accessory-files.1541936/#post-28470758
