custom portrait for NPC's?
« on: August 20, 2015, 09:04:23 pm »


               

okay can someone help me? probably a very simply and stupid question but how do I add a custom portrait to a npc during creation? I just added the custom BUFFY/ANGEL portraits and want to add them to the appropriate NPC's but not entirely sure how to do that (its not in the list)

You have to add the portrait to the portraits.2da file with the appropriate settings for race/gender. It also needs to be named in the same way other NWN portraits are.

               portraits.2da is a text file with the following format:


http://nwn.wikia.com...i/Portraits.2da


Use NWNExplorer to export the version in your top hak (if you don't have one, the most recent version from the OC). 2da files appear under Game Data.


Add new lines with a text editor, use nwnhak to put the new version in your top hak.


Your portraits need to be in a specific format:

The portraits also go in your custom hak.
