When I was playing this mod, I found sad, that I cannot see generic portraits and names of heroes in my units. In file heroes.pzdat I discovered that some lineskips were missing. That caused troubles for Panzer Corps to find in register names, surnames and portraits.
I fixed this in the submod "PAK-MOD_HEROES_FIX".

You can apply it in GME.

Alternatively you can just patch PAK-MOD by draging fixed files in "Data" folder.

Extra Feature:
This submod also adds heroes and awards to Waffen-SS units (they now share the same resources as the standard Germany faction).

A quick note:
I created and shared this submod because I couldn't find a similar fix anywhere on the forum. If another modder has already created something like this before, please let me know and drop a link to their work! I definitely don't want to steal anyone's thunder or take credit for a known fix — I just wanted to share this in case it helps others.

I haven't tried your fix for Waffen-SS units yet, but for Wehrmacht formations, it completely eliminated the problem of the game only throwing out "empty" values (usually a number) for the hero names, so thank you.

Unfortunately, portraits are still missing in some cases, though save scumming (I'm able to do that by altering the Hero Kills values in the gamerules files) works as a workaround.

Yes. Sometimes it happens due to the fact, that heroes.pzdat have in register an image of hero, but it doesn't exist in UI/heroes folder. I will try to copy some already existing portraits and give them names of missing files. I hope it will work and won't kill bad save files.

I found problem. The issue was that in heroes.pzdat portraits "random_heroN.png" were named as "random_heroN" (sorry - my problem. I should have investigated this earlier). I updated the mod with this patch. Unfortunetely, if you have already started playing with "empty_portraits", it won`t fix it, but new games will work as intended.

Thanks a lot. The game now correctly assigns each hero a portrait without any hiccups. I fired up an Allied Corps campaign and I can confirm that it works for the UK as well.
