First of all the portraits must be of bitmap format, secondly the large portraits (55.1 kb) should have the L extension in there name (kensaiL) and the small portraits (6.84 kb) should have the S extension in there name (kensaiS)

Secondly they should all be in the Portriats map in the main BG II directory.

If you followed all these staps, then I'm clueless because they should work.

The name of the file really isn't important at all. What is important, is that large portrait is 110x170 pixels large, and small 40x60 large. Although, if you downloaded the ports from the net they probably are that big.

Actually, the name *is* important - if it has more than 8 characters (before the extention), the game cannot recognise it. Make sure they are bitmaps (*.bmp), if you downloaded them, they`re probably Jpeg (*.jpg), or gif (*.gif).
