Is it possible ?
Is there a program for it ?
Did i overlook something ?
Did i spent two hours mutilating my own picture and enlarging my ears to elf
standard for nothing ?

I thought this was a role playing game ?

Anyone ?

Yoo hoo ?

(please ?)

you got the game and then spent two hours giving yourself elf ears instead
of playing it?

Dunno if it's possible - maybe there's a hak pak or something.. if not I
guess you'll have to make do with role-playing a character who doesn't look
like you with big ears.

Generally speaking, the whole point of role-playing games is to play
someone besides yourself, not yourself with elongated ears, attractive
as that may be.

Actually, I was under the impression if you give your custom portait
to the people you are playing with, and they have it installed,
they'll see it.

>Is it possible ?

Yes, but every person playing has to have your custom portrait
downloaded to their /portraits directory in order to see your smiling
face.

>Is there a program for it ?

Any graphics program that can save uncompressed Targa (.tga) files
will work. Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/) is a free one.

>Did i overlook something ?

Don't know. Try reading the custom portrait tutorial at Bioware
(http://nwn.bioware.com/ under the For Builders section).

Didn't that hurt?

>I thought this was a role playing game ?

You roleplay with pictures?

>Anyone ?

Everyone?

>Yoo hoo ?

Chocolate or strawberry?

Good pratise at picture editing!

>I thought this was a role playing game ?

And you play an artist mocking head pictures?

>Anyone ?

any what?

>Yoo hoo ?

howdy!

Well, ok: download a portrait from anywhere, put it in your portrait
folder. Edit the pictures to keep size and file type but put in your
picture. Rename the files so you got a distinct file name for your new
portrait.
Choose the portrait when creating a new character.

And now the difficult part: get everyone else you play with to put
these picture files in their portrait folders so they see them, too.
