Custom Portraits:
If you want to create and import a custom portrait for NWN, read on!
Download the portrait templates:
HERE
Unzip portrait_templates.zip and inside you will find the following template images.
s_xxxxxH.tga (Huge)
s_xxxxxL.tga (Large)
s_xxxxxM.tga (Medium)
s_xxxxxS.tga (Small)
s_xxxxxT.tga (Tiny)
Rename the Files:
For male portraits: replace the "s" of each of the files with "m". Example: m_xxxxxH.tga
For female portraits: replace the "s" of each of the files with "f". Example: f_xxxxxH.tga
Now replace the x's with whatever you want, but it must be five characters long. Example: m_reedoH.tga, m_reedoL.tga, etc.
Next, bring the Templates into a Paint program that will save out .tga files. (Adobe Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, etc)
Take your custom image/portrait and paste it into all 5 template images, covering the WHITE space. Exact dimensions are printed on each template - you can just resize your custom image to those dimensions and paste, covering the white space. Make sure you DON'T go into the black space.
Now simply save all the images (24bit, if it asks) and place them into your /portraits directory, which you can find where you installed NWN. Warning: When saving do NOT compress the files whatsoever or it may cause problems.
That's it! Load up NWN and your portrait will be available when you create a new character!
