Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely ? No. Because doing so would make this mod incompatible with a lot of mods, requiring submods etc etc.

But also Vlad is a vampire, not a normal man, he can use a longsword in one hand.

Is it possible to make him a 2 handed weapon user with his new long sword?

Actually, Mannfred is just Vlad balded.

a) Look at promo material for Warhammer 1, notice how Mannfred has a completely different face.
b) Using this mod, quickly switch between the two variants. Notice that Vlad's damaged face is exactly the same as the undamaged face, just, well, damaged.

So what happened is that sometime during Warhammer's development they switched Mannfred's face for whatever reason. Budget constraints? Who knows.

that is just mannfred unbalded

something like this as a 3rd helmet variant would be cool

Could you give him a cool helmet variant

Hello, your Vlad is the best. For some reason when I fight or when I play with Isabella her appearance on the battlefield isn't the ordinary one, she is modded too. She is kinda broken, some colours are messed up. But I have no mods that changes her looks. Perhaps it is due to this mod?

Hey, awesome mod! Do you have a version where he has this face with red eyes insted of yellow? If not would you ever consider making it? Love The mod btw. Have used it since forever

Hey Marthenil!
I've made an SFO submod for this :)

There's another mod, Just Good UI, that in more complex than Army Carosuel, but is incompatible with it, that causes a fair bit of issue trying to click on the variant selector.

I'm also just wondering, is there a way in the script so that it defaults to his normal face, and then as the player we can select this face, rather than this being his default?
There's also a few outdated tables in RPFM (won't make much difference)

Faction leadear card was renamed in 4.0

There should be two vlads in custom battle, one's the regular vlad one's the restored vlad.
The only thing I intentionally didn't touch is Vlad's campaign selection icon because of reasons.

Sry, my bad, I just test it only in custom battle yesterday.Seems works fine in campaign.But Vlad's card portrait still Unrestored, is that normal?By the way, thanks for your quick reply

It doesn't work how? If Vlad doesn't get the new appearance you are using a mod that overwritess mine. If the button doesn't show up, you are most likely using a mod that's causing a script break

These hotfixes were really minor and didn't really touch mods all that much.

Is it possible to remove the glow effect on his sword, as it was in the WH2 version?

Hello @Marthenil ! Is it possible to make a mod version for the sword only, like you did in WH2 ?
I dislike the new Vlad nosed appearance, and AI keep using this.

There should be no issue between the two mods. If there is, submit a proper bug report with all relevant information in the bug reports forum. I recently updated Vlad Restored to essentially use the variant selector instead of its own system when both mods are present, so I do know they work together rather well.

Thanks for the mod but I wish you to fix the mod for bug caused with your own mod 'Variant selector'. I checked bug report page of Variant selector. Someone told about it was making trouble with Vlad restored and I finally could fix 'only blank box is opened without icon' bug with turning off the Vlad restored mod. I really like the restored Vlad so I wish it should be fixed later. Vlad restored mod itself works well but many people would love to use both mod without trouble.

Hello marthenil! long ago, in the first total war warhammer, you made a mod to give mannfred a bit more armor, and i really liked his look. could that be ported to Warhammer III ? thanks for your mods , the variant selector is great and vlad looks much better with a nose ^^

i always hoped for a reskin to make vlad looks like malus transformed in t'zarkan. Maybe just the head or even with malus armor, looks very fit vor a vampire lord, obviusly with red eyes instead of purple

Looks like Ozzy finally transformed

i just want his face. the sword is nice, but to long. please make a separate mod just with his face.

It's not so simple I'm afraid. But fear not, a mod is in the works to enable this function for other things as well (modularly)

@Marthenil can u guide me on how I can apply the button skin swap onto other reskin mods? only want to make it for myself

@Marthenil Hey man I'm trying to update my Mannfred mod. It uses your arm-guard mod from TWW1. Do you have any plans to import that to TWW3? Model editing is a bit beyond my skill.

@ Marthenil So this is crazy that this button is implimented with this mod, to seemingly change the characters appearance...yet i have not seen other modders use this for other things, like to change weapon appearance. So for example, Karl franz before getting Ghal Maraz, using his rune fang visually (even keeping his animations is fine) and then swapping to Ghal Maraz after...id love a mod that does this type of thing.

You can combine this mod with THIS mod https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2854510809 and you get to switch freely between handsome rugged Vlad, and "warface" Vlad. It works flawlessly... :DDD

Eff me, the so obvious turn it off and on again solution...
Thanks, mate!

@miffy sure

@Vulcanizor
Sounds like steam didn't update the mod for some reason, try unsubbing and resubbing.

Hi
Since the update, your mod prevents my game start-up - do you know what might be the cause?

i would ofc credit you in the description :D

hey @Marthenil, wanted to ask whether i can use your profile and porthole PNGs, as iv found its quite hard to make. As im making a vlad reskin aswell.

Unsub and resub, if it still doesn't work it sounds like there's an incompatibility. Please post your mod list in the newly created bug reports section.

why cant i find the button for changing his face? am i missing something?

I absolutely love the mod. Sorry to be a bother, but would you consider an option or sub mod to make his hair black with everything else the same?

This variant thing is so cool

The option to switch the variant mid campaign is something amazing, the stuff you wish would be implemented in the game lol

Thank you for bringing this to TW:W3! Fantastic!

Thank you, At last Isabella has a husband she can kiss

@Marthenil ah I see thanks !

Just switch to the vanilla variant?

can you release the vanilla version of vlad with only the big sword change? thanks =)

Yes! So you can choose whomever you like.

Is there a reason why this Vlad and vanilla Vlad both appear for selection in the custom battle section?

Yay! It's back!!! <3

Thank you <3

It should be working for hero vlad too, weird, I'll look into it.

Any chance of making this work for Vlad as a hero as well?

thank you no more Voldemort campaigns

The variant swapping tech is so neat

Thank you so much! I F%&*N HATE the no nose thing. Its stupid as hell.
