Callsign Portraits Gallery

GaleryPortraits

🇬🇧 ENGLISH

Description

GaleryPortraits 1. 0 adds a complete visual portrait gallery and custom portrait system directly to the BATTLETECH pilot customization screen.

Instead of having to remember portrait filenames or manually browse through folders, GaleryPortraits displays the available PNG portraits directly inside the game, allowing you to visually browse and select them while editing a pilot.

The mod integrates the portrait replacement system and the visual gallery into a single package.

Custom portraits are stored inside:

GaleryPortraits\Portraits\You can add, replace or remove portrait images without recompiling the mod.
