Changing character portraits...

Olli Kalma · 10-04-2003, 05:53 AM

Felix The Assassin asked who did I change one characters portrait
and I didn't remember, but now I looked my old files and discovered next.

The directory where the pictures are is:
WizardsWarriors\portrait\

There's plenty on small images.

Every image is 51x56 px bitmap file.
When you have edited picture ( MS Paint can do it also ) with some graphic editor,
save it in same format, and don't resize picture.
Also look that filename doesn't change.

Now you are able to select new character pictures to your party.
Or if you are currently running one game, just replace
their picture ( you remember what did you char looked like, edit that pic ) by your own.
Change will take effect immediately.

I wasn't able to find my own head pictures, I might have to do new ones [img]smile.gif[/img]

And please, make backups before editing, and do it at your own risk!

I have an idea...

What if we sent here our modified pictures ( I can host pictures in my homepage ) and elect funniest one.
We all can get plenty of new images to use when old ones are going to look boring...

P.s. If anyone admid that has modified earlier some pictures and has mailed it to me or publish in net, want to just thank you for great idea of modifying images [img]smile.gif[/img] Sorry, I don't remember who it was...

Tanks Ollie!

This is a project that I will under take soon. GTA III for PC also allows one to edit in their own portraits, though the game is far below my radar.

Uh! Please! Don't take your camera into Boogre Bar!
It seem we have some 'cleaning' first...

Here's pictures how Ratli and Pixus are doing...

I tried to use a "real" pic of me, as a character but that is what caused W&W from working properly.

I got an error message that said " Wizards and Warriors Error Message 666:Your character picture has been changed to a picture unsuitable for human viewing. Your computer has decided that due to the horrific nature of this picture, your computer will cease functioning in 5 seconds, your hair will turn grey, and your trash collector will kick your dog and walk all over your flowers.
Have a Nice Day"

I did try and delete it, but i was too late.

Harsh punishment [img]smile.gif[/img] . You should keep in mind that you can always go back and fix things: *presses rewind on his DVD controller*
There you go
