Character Portrait Problems

[warm sleet]

So ive been messing with skinmods again, and well, ive been trying to add in an aniamtion
but now neither my portrait or textbox appears.
No idea why either and now it wont go back

unsure to what ive broke, its been a while since ive messed with celeste

[warm sleet]

i wanted to add a couple extra portrait expressions

like this one for example

as "oops"

but yeah

[bright marsh]

the closing tag should be </portrait_gabe>, not <portrait_madeline/>

ok wait what are you actually trying to do?

do you want to add a new portrait for a map or replace the madeline portrait for a skinmod?

[warm sleet]

replace for a skinmod

sorry it took so long to get back, ended up goin for the day

ye

[warm sleet]

Yo, apologies for the ping but just wondering if you could help out with it soon, since I gots some time before I gotta go for the day

[bright marsh]

well if you're doing madeline portraits, your tags need to be <portrait_madeline>...</portrait_madeline>

also to add animations with a global skinmod, you'll have to replace the global Portraits.xml, which means your xml also has to contain the other vanilla portraits

actually no ignore that second message

I'm not sure how well equipped the portrait system is for this

[warm sleet]

I tried to just make a new thing all together too doing <portrait_gabe> but

That didn’t work either

What’s weird is

It worked till I tried to add more

Then it stopped working entirely

Even when I put it back

[warm sleet]

should i just restart making it?

[warm sleet]

or should i try to fix it more
