i need help getting the portrait files to wrok for the game!!!!! 
Your large portrait should be named:
XXXXXXXL.bmp (max 8 characters, must end in 'L', bitmap format)
210x330 pixels 24 color
Your small portrait should be named:
XXXXXXXS.bmp (max 8 char, ends in 'S', bmp)
42x42 pixels
In your IWD2 directory, there should be a folder named 'Portraits', put your small and large portraits in there and they should be game-ready.
To access them, when creating/customizing your character, when selecting your portrait, there is a 'Custom' button beneath the picture, click there and it should be pretty straightforward from then on.
For example:
If I had potraits for the Pony of Evil:
evlponyL.bmp
evlponyS.bmp
(notice I can't call it evilponyL.bmp because that would be 9 characters, and IWD2 would not recognize it)
I would put them in my IWD2 directory:
C:\Program Files\Black Isle\Icewind Dale II\Portraits\
And I should be good to go.
If you have any more questions, let me know.
