This is from the BG readme, but the method is the same.
Custom Portraits: The measurements for player portraits are 38X60 pixels for the smaller portraits (8-bit color runs faster but it can be up to 24 bit color), and 110X170 pixels for the larger portraits. To use a custom portrait, place it in the Portraits directory (in the install directory for the game) and add an S to the end of the small portrait name and an L to the end of the large portrait - otherwise the two names must be identical. The names must be 1-7 letters long, maximum - so the filename with the S or L added to the end is no longer than 8 total characters. The portrait files must be in BMP format. For example: XXXXXXXS.bmp for small (38x60, 8-bit) XXXXXXXL.bmp for large (110x170, 24-bit) For multiplayer, each player must have a copy of the portraits, otherwise they will see a blank icon instead of the other player's custom portraits. You will need to manually send these portraits to your friends as BG2 has no method of transferring them.

Irie word of Jah, you should have contacted me, Magness (Crucis over on the Interplay IWD2 boards) and owner/creator of the Defenders of the Dale site.
The instructions that you're looking for are right on the DotD website. Go to the FAQs page and there they are! [ 09-30-2003, 10:03 PM: Message edited by: Magness ] |

SpiritWarrior, here's the link.
Defenders of the Dale Be aware though that the portraits are sized for IWD2, but not the sizes used by IWD1 and the BG games. |
