However, for custom leaders, I will be showing you how to set a custom path later in this guide. For the purposes of this guide, I will be overwriting the copy of Stalin's portrait I made, so I don't have to change the portrait path. Once you have minimized and toyed with the image a bit to your liking, save the portrait as either the same image or one with your preferred name, MAKE SURE TO SAVE IT AS A DDS FILE. If this is the case, simply shift-left click while dragging the borders of the image inward to minimize the image while still maintaining the ratio. Now, the image you have pasted may be a bit larger the the portrait. Select "keep canvas size", as expanding the canvas will make things more difficult to format. Now you should get a pop up that says something like this: Now, open your image and the template portrait up in your preferred program, I will be using .Īfter this, select the "Rectangle Select" tool, and use it to select a vertical rectangle in the area that you want the portrait to show.Ĭopy and paste the selected area into the template portrait. Make a copy of the portrait you need on your desktop, or somewhere that is easily reachable. All of Hoi4's portraits can be found in:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\gfx\leaders For the sake of coding simplicity, I will be overwriting Stalin's portrait.
In order to make this as simple as possible, we are going to "overwrite" a vanilla portrait with the portrait we want to make. In this example I have decided to replace Joseph Stalin with Russia's greatest love machine: Rasputin. To begin this guide, we will begin by choosing a portrait that we want added into the game.
