how do i manually change npcs portraits?

[Guest James]

As in Jaheria's or Imoen's? I run Windows and cant seem to figure it out....I only have changed them with mods that do it for me, never manually with my own photos.

It's very easy to change the portraits. All you have to do is name the files according to the following scheme:

 

 

N(NPC's Name, first 6 letters only)S.bmp - the small portrait, size 38x60

N(NPC's Name, first 6 letters only)M.bmp - the medium portrait, size 110x170

N(NPC's Name, first 6 letters only)L.bmp - the large portrait, size 210x332

 

So, for Anomen, the file name is:

 

NANOMENS.bmp

 

and for Yoshimo:

 

NYOSHIMS.bmp

 

 

 

Once you have your files, simply put them in the Override directory of BG2 or whichever game you're playing.
