Importing Portraits

Post by Armycardinal »

Hello. I want to include a bunch of the dizzying assortment of BG2 portraits out there as options. What Folder do I need to put the portraits in. i have them in the "Portraits" folder, but they are not an option on the character generation - so they are in the wrong place apparently.

They are in "BG II - The SoA" - "Portraits".

Thanks for the help.

You need to follow the instructions in the readme file exactly.
The pictures ave to be named correctly and they need to be in the correct format and the correct size etc.

???

@ grimwald

Please explain. I read the Readme file (from the main folder "BG II- The Shadows of Amn") and it does not detail what to do.

Is it as simple as pasting the pictures into the correct folder for the game to access the pictures?

Fixed it

Actually, I had to find out how to access the picture(s). This site I found, Death Jester's Baldur's Gate Portraits

was pretty good and had some cool portraits.

Thanks for everyone's help.
