Help with ShadowKeeper and Portraits

Gangrell · 02-01-2003, 08:42 PM

Hmm, things aren't going like i'd hoped. I'm making a couple of new, perhaps more challenging enemies for my party, but there's a problem. I set their's stats to enemy, but they will not attack. Can someone help me out with this, and tell me how, if there is anyway I can actually insert my own villians into the game with their own dialogue? This also goes with making my own NPC's.

Anybody know where or how I can turn PAINT images into Portrait images or even find some good ones?

To turn paint images into portraits, they have to be the right size (in pixels) and saved as bitmap files with the format of xxxxxxxL.bmp for large pics and xxxxxxS.bmp for small pics.

You can find links to lots of portraits at this site

Most of the custom portrait sites will have a section explaining how to resize pics yourself, as well as the exact sizes in pixels needed.

That chinese portrait site owns.

They're all set to 24 bit map, but the ones I saved still won't come up, and like I said, they're already 24 bit, what do I have to set them to, paint, image preview or what?

Can anyone give me an answer to my Shadowkeeper question?
