Go to nwnvault and download Robious' nwnexplorer program. Extract the .exe and .dll files to you nwm folder. Run nwnexplorer and scroll down the left side until you find the xp2.bif folder (it's located under HotU Expansion data). click on that folder and look for the textures/TGA subheading. Open that file and sctoll down until you find the following set of files:

po_valen_h.tga
po_valen_l.tga
etc.

Select the tga file and then select Extract (or Extract as TGA) option. Repeat for each of the versions (h, l, m, s, t). That should get you the npc portrait files. Now put the tga files into your portrait folder and you will be able to select them when you create your next character.

I've done that successfully and been able to extract the NPC portraits for Queen Shao, the Seer, Valsharess, Valen, Nathyrra, Sharwyn (her new portrait), the Astral Deva and Big M himself. There are also new NPC portraits for Nesther, Tomi (i much prefer his old one) and a couple of the older NPC's. In addition, you can use this technique to extract the SoU NPC portraits as well.

There is NO need to use LETO to change your portrait picture as HotU will now allow you to customize your character (including portrait, character name etc.).

Enjoy. [img]smile.gif[/img]
