Howdy
I downloaded that thingy with all the Amia portraits, but I've never done this before so I need to know where to put them all
Thankyou

They go in your portraits folder in your nwn folder. if you dont have a folder, make a new folder and call it portraits.

Look in your root NWN folder, usually

C:\Program Files\NWN\Neverwinternights

Look for a folder in here called Portraits. If there is not one, create it.

Then place each of the portraits you downloaded into this folder.

This is not to be confused with the \overrides folder.

Start up NWN, and you should be good to go!

Regards,

I still beat you Frey!

that is correct frey, maryn, but if I am not mistaken, I think dri stated it would be better to place the portraits in your override folder, so that you do not use the portrait of others, thus they remain unique to that charachter.

Couldn't be beat by a better person, Maryn.

Regards,

d'aaaw, sucha shweetie.

That.

That.

Yep, quoted for emphasis.

When you move them to the override folder, they are not selectable at character creation, which is what we are aiming for so that other people's portraits can remain unique to their characters.

Yes, down with copycats!

Indeed!

That's dirty!

I see what you did there ... after briefly being confused by Kjetta's triple post.

Death to uniqueness

Picking on him! :twisted:

The humanity!

I was expecting the Tormak lock like 8 posts ago... *crickets in the background*

Oh well, the Kjetta/BlackDahlya combo can be charming...

We both are charming. Did you see how hot Kjetta is? And me too? >.> <.<

Anyway, yes, this topic can be locked now, I think. Unless if the OP has any more questions concerning the portrait pack?

So if I download the Newcastle portrait pack, I should put it in override not portrait folder? I don't want to step on anyones toe's. Or is this only referring to specially created portraits?

It's best to put it in the Override folder, because if you use a specially-created portrait whom someone else created for their character, you run the risk of getting your portrait abruptly changed if that person decides to update that portrait.

And to Virginia: I think this is just for the Amia Portrait pack, which is comprised primarily of specially-created portraits for specific characters.

So a generic portrait pack would best be served in the portrait folder?

Thats what she said

I am missing a boat load of portraits from people, can someone link the last one so I can have them?

And it is alright to open them in the override. I will add Delarwyn too when I have enough DCs to actually update her stuff. As my first character, everything on her description, portrait and such are quite lame.

Fixed for errors.

Ouch.

Technically true, but that sounds like a painful delivery.

Technically he's right, which makes me feel even better about the fact that mine isn't.

We could always make everyone happy and delete all the stolen portraits, harassing them with the same intensity that we flog those who try to make characters that clearly infringe on Copyrights. Like Richards and Drizzts.

Yeah, but I think that would be a large number of people, and then you just need to ad in your bio where it all came from.

this didn't work for me. is there any other way to get the portraits to work?

ok there is this big file called The_newcastle_portrait_pack_full_version and it is a 7Z file. what does that mean and how do I get it to work?

Winrar or a similar program ... you need to 'unzip' it into separate portrait (*.tga) files.

where do you DL the portraits thing from?

thx dawg

@administration any chance of putting the files in the files section of the website?

ummmm what is the problem of copying?

I have no clue about computer design, I wouldn't even know where to start. And yes, I do want to learn, but it is a project for someday not for now.

So, most of my portraits are stolen and I slightly modified if I even get to do that

I use other people's portraits too, but I admit that it is theirs and in no way my own.
I think the thing was taking someone else's portrait, modifying it and calling it your own is stealing.
