hi puny,

I think he is asking you to attach your tga file of the image to the post or post a link to the tga file (he wrote tag not tga)

We need the tga file in order for us to see the portrait in the game :D

Are these being compiled into a single, handy, time-saving file? I can't be arsed to faff about with individual files. :hmph:

Better still, is there a way to push this collection to the client upon log-in? Shame they use TGAs in this tho - massive.

tga is an image format that has been used by a lot of Bioware games for a long time, there are some pretty good converters available online, and a plugin for photoshop to convert to tga as well.

It be vewy old and pwetty much fw- *slaps self and starts again..* :shock:

It's a rather old image file format that supports truecolor and has an alpha channel, and it's simple to get permission to use commercially, which all add up to making it a handy format for textures in games like NWN2 - even if the compression is nastier than warmed up dogsh_t.

puny,

here is the link to your file for Anchra already converted to the tga format

http://www.mediafire.com/?jz9tdji1cji2m4b

I just did a search for free online image converter to convert the original jpg image to tga and it is hosted for free on mediafire. As you can see I put the link to my own image in my signature so that it is accessible from every post I make

Mine is updated and working after speaking with Max. Are we going to make a pack that everyone can get? A dropbox? Something? Updating one by one will eventually lose the momentum and stop working... It happened in the past.

Will be making a pack. Looking into dropbox for now, but will take a few days to get all the active portraits compiled.

Keryn I was not sure which file you went with but if anyone wants to add the ones I gave Keryn so you can see his pc portrait, put these into your portraits folder

Hi everyone,

I'm working on getting a tga file of my jpeg below available for download, but I wanted to share what I have so far. Is it true that only a tga file will show up for other players though? I was confused because when I dropped my jpeg in my portraits folder it came up just fine in the Kemo window. Maybe someone can clarify for me because if I could just offer the jpeg version for download it would solve some problems I'm having (My webpage can't host tga files). Anyhoo, here's Kara, both in portrait and ingame for reference. The portrait name is Kara. I assumed the portrait you put in your folder has to have the same name I gave it in mine to work properly, though I suppose I might be wrong about that too. Very new at this!

*Update: Thanks to Maxcell for confirming that I need to have a tga portrait for others to be able to view it, and for putting my tga somewhere everyone can get it. I've added the tga file to my signature now; it's still named Kara in my folder, and as I understand it should be in yours too.

Looking forward to seeing you all in game!

Peter
