I've been as frustrated as you before. Make sure the pictures are the right size first. I had the same problem as you before. Make sure to re-open them in another paint program and save them under a different .bmp name. What ended up being my problem, was when I copied the files and then transfered them to .bmp format, the .bmp got doubled. It was pic1.bmp.bmp and the game refused to read them. After I renamed them, they worked fine. Remember to restart your game once you have added your pictures. Good luck.

thx, now ill try that...if it doesn't work, then another suggestion is ALWAYS welcome. (Not to be arrogant or anything...k?)

D*Ranged · 01-07-2002, 05:29 AM

AND it isn't. Does anyone know what the case is if it ain't bmp. doubled?

Sorry mate. If you zip up the two you are trying to use and send them to me, I'll see if I can figure it out.

You did put them in the Portraits portfolio in Black Isle folder right!?!? Thats all I can think of.

Aren't the names of the files too long? They're only supposed to be 8 or so characters long. Not counting the .bmp-extension of course.

If you have SOA running in the background when you put new pics in, they won't show up until you restart the game.

Also when you find a pic you want at kirith.com, double click on it then double click on either the large or the small photo...the picture that then loads into your browser is the bitmap image.
