when i made char portraits for my monkette, i got very confused about the sizes and number of portraits needed. it seemed like i just couldn't get them right. so i did a bunch of research and discovered the game has a built in command to size and place all the portraits needed to play the game.

if you have a pic you want to use, then here's the simplest way to use it!

*EZ Portraits for NWN*

~place the picture you want to use, in jpeg format (ElfMonkey.jpg) into your "portraits" folder where you installed NWN and remember it's name!

~don't worry about the size, either. [img]smile.gif[/img]

note: if you don't have a "portraits" folder, make one. it should look kinda like this: C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\portraits

~start NWN and either start a new game or load a saved one

~start the console by pressing the ~ key also known as "tilde", in the upper left hand corner of your keyboard, usually to the left of your numeric 1 key [img]smile.gif[/img]

~remember the name of your portrait? [img]smile.gif[/img] good. now type this command with your portrait's name after the tilde (no space between the tilde and your command):
Convertportrait ElfMonkey
press enter

~please don't get upset if your tilde disappears at any time while you are doing all this. just hit it again when you're ready to enter a command. [img]smile.gif[/img]

~please don't add the extension when you type in the name of your portrait, okay?

~if the console is still up, just press the ~ again to close it, or wait a few seconds. it will usually go away on it's own.

you're all set now! this will automatically create all the different sized picture files needed to make your character complete.
