Hello,

I was wondering if is it possible to change portraits in slots that are shown on screen before UMS map starts? I'm talking about the screen that usually explains what is map about etc. I know music is possible.

Thank you.



None.

We do a little trolling

You can use the Show Portrait action in the mission briefing to show whatever portrait you'd like.

Impossible Ultraviolet | Impossible UV 2 | Impossible UV 3
Mercenaries 2020 | Mercenaries III
Squad Defense

Legacy Projects (No guarantee of functionality in modern SC):

Pixel Adventure 2 | Space Snipers | Control the Ball

Only through modding, can't access that functionality just with regular mapping.

Since this thread is in Modding Assistance, I'm going to assume you want a modding solution. Are you using 1.16.1 or Remastered? The portrait formats are different between the two.

I'm using Remastered Brood War. Do you think I could make it with EUD editor?



None.

And if it's possible, how? I see a lot of options but nowhere to change portrait that displays in the briefing room. Let's say I want Jim Raynor's portrait to be my personal made pic, whatever file extension is needed.



None.

I don't believe you can insert your own graphics with EUDs. Like others have said, you'd have make a mod and replace a unit's portrait with a custom one. And just so we're clear, a mod is not the same as using EUDs.

It was possible to do with EUDs prior to Remastered, but the Remastered EUD emulator doesn't let you do fun things like import files.

Closing this topic now because it's not modding related.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
