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.

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.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
