A few days ago I downloaded some portraits from this very page. I unzipped them and loaded them into my ToB portraits file. The problem is, only two portraits show up on the portraits custom screen. Help is need plz!

Maybe their names are too loong. SoA only allows 8 characters.

That's correct, of course. And make sure they're in .bmp format as well. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

I've done this in SoA and sometimes the pictures don't show up in the custom screen but they do when you OK it & go back to the game.

It means you need to know the filename of the bmp you want to change to.

Hope this helps ya...

Custom Portraits:

The measurements for player portraits are 38X60 pixels for
the smaller portraits (8-bit color runs faster but it can be
up to 24 bit color), and 110X170 pixels for the larger
portraits. To use a custom portrait, place it in the
Portraits directory (in the install directory for the game)
and add an S to the end of the small portrait name and an L
to the end of the large portrait - otherwise the two names
must be identical. The names must be 1-7 letters long,
maximum - so the filename with the S or L added to the end
is no longer than 8 total characters. The portrait files
must be in BMP format.

For example:
XXXXXXXS.bmp for small (38x60, 8-bit)
XXXXXXXL.bmp for large (110x170, 24-bit)

For multiplayer, each player must have a copy of the
portraits, otherwise they will see a blank icon instead of
the other player's custom portraits. You will need to
manually send these portraits to your friends as BG2 has
no method of transferring them.

I also found out that if you unzip them while the games going, you need to restart the game for them to show up.
