Portraits
Propably a dumb question and propably explained somewhere, but...
How do you get to use one on an already made character?
Somewhere in PC tools? Consol? Divine intervention?
Help?

Open your character sheet and double click your portrait.Arkan Bladesinger wrote:Propably a dumb question and propably explained somewhere, but...

Yes, they cause lag. If you can choose a 2D portrait, please do so. Some are not affected (myself included), but others become downright unplayable (like Swift).Rion of Erb wrote:Hijacking, sorry...
Do the 3D portraits cause lag? Are we recommended to use the 2D portraits?

We need a list of everything that causes lag....
And we need a *lot* more 2D portraits to choose from.
Of course, that would probably cause lag.

Indeed. I can run the game a breeze with detail on full and at high res, but the moment i join a party that has someone using a 3d portrait i need to turn off all graphical enhancements and shadows just to get it playable.Magile wrote:Yes, they cause lag.

It is a shame too, because if you are able to run things at full detail, the server looks absolutely amazing, and its a bit of a downer to go exploring or walking without that detail.

It's simpler than NWN1 portraits- but perhaps more strict. IIRC, portraits must be 128x128 TGA files. GrandFromage is managing the portrait pack (doing the QC and such), though he may be happy to delegate- he's the one to ask.JaydeMoon wrote:Are the portraits a particular size of file? Would the old NWN1 portraits work or do they need to be tweaked somehow? I can weed out the particular file size (if no tweaking is necessary) and post up an NWN2 portrait pack on my mirror.
Alternatively, Mord is doing this for our sister world, Exodus- so he's a good resource for questions on it as well.

We can add to the portraits available for everyone easily enough- right now GrandFromage is handling the portrait pack, though he may choose to delegate it if he's swamped with suggestions.
NWvault has quite a few to choose from, if you've got a favorite you'd like to see added, maybe start a thread in NWN2 Custom Content here.
