Latest IWD2 portraits are now up. (11/27) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nice! I really like your new female portraits! I was looking for some good female drow and barbarian portraits.

Micah Foehammer · 11-27-2002, 09:13 PM

Thanks Luvian. Glad you found what you were looking for. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Grr, Micah, I still can't make those portraits show up, all I get is forlders with two files in them. What am I doing wrong?

Micah Foehammer · 11-30-2002, 09:21 PM

SOME of the IWD2 zip files are designed so that when you extract the contents, they extract to a FOLDER and NOT as seperate files. Move the contents (the two BMP files) of the download folders to the Portraits folder. ALSO, double check the file names within the folders - some of the file names exceed the legal 8 character limits. The files should be labelled like this:

xxxxxxxL.bmp

or

xxxxxxxS.bmp

where the x's can NOT be more than 7 characters in length exclusive of the L and S.

You may have to restart the game once you change the portraits to get them to show up. [img]smile.gif[/img]

ALSO, make sure you are not downloading NWN formatted portraits for use in IWD2 - I know it sounds silly but a LOT of people have been doing that. lol

All right, I now have 4 out of 6 of my party with your portraits, Micah: Attalus (mine), and Galadria, Imoen, and Viconia (Laurie's), Would you please look at my "Annah and Fall from Grace thread". I have .gif images of the big portraits (haven't found the small- "The Pit" website used to have them, but they folded, I guess.) Anyway, the link that I had for them wouldn't work.

Latest update is now up - added page 18 to the IWD2 males and filled in page 11 on the IWD2 females to a full page. Plus we added an almost two dozen new NWN portraits. [img]smile.gif[/img]

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

I'm trying to download a portrait for my party but a screen keeps popping up saying that your site is disabled and something about Homestead. Is the site down temporarily?

Micah Foehammer · 12-17-2002, 07:36 PM

Piestrider,

Yes, unfortunately the site is down until we find a new home for it. It's a long drawn out story, but Mike and I are moving the site off Homestead and onto a new provider - once we find one that is.

The good news is that we have all of the ports archived. [img]smile.gif[/img] The bad news is that it is going to take us some time to rebuild the site.

Sorry about the problem, but the move is a total necessity.

Piestrider · 12-17-2002, 11:00 PM

Sorry to hear that. Now i'll just have to wait to get a cool portrait.

I'm sure I'll live.
