there's a size issue here, IWDII use's a different pixel count (i don't know why) just edit your portraits to 210 X 330(for the big ones) and that should fix it. have fun with the game and welcome to S.P. (don't forget to see what you can do to keep S.P. running, donations, submissions and anything else are all welcome )

The best way to get them, is to take screenshots from all BG1 portraits you want to use either in BG1 or BG2. Then you must copy portrait from screenshot (I use Paint Shop Pro) and paste it as a new image.

To get small portraits (42x42), you must use some program (preferably some image editing application, but some programs, like Excel work also) to reduce the size of the big portrait. After you get the size you want, you should mark character's head or face or whatever you want from altered picture. Then paste it also as a new picture and save it.

It takes quite long and especially small picture is difficult to make, but at least you get the portraits.

 

Ahem... thanx guys but...well i can't seem to do both things you advised me to do cos BG doesn't work anymore on my computer due to some damn problems i can't fix, and the portraits i have downloaded are (dunno why the f***)soooooooooooo SMALL !
anyone know a site where i could dl them ??
thanx

S.P. is the best place for downloads if you can't modify the files or resize them well, your on your own.

try Havok's site, sorry don't know the address, but he has tutorials dealing with such prob's, good luck.

Harkle's method works, but it's a little more complicated than necessary. I got all my BG portraits through Infinity Explorer. You can select and export any image file in the game with it, and is nowhere near as time consuming as the screenshot method. You should be able to download IE here, but if not a simple Google search will find it for you. If BG1 won't load in your computer, as long as it's still installed then IE should be able to view the files. Then, once extracted, you should be able to resize them with any kind of image editing program like Image Ready, Paint Shop, Photoshop, etc.

 

you're gonna find me quite annoying, but i can't even see BG files because there's a huge problem with i can't see any of the files of it...hum what is S.P ??? ahem.......sorry i had this momentary lapse of...whatever it was, ok i made it : Sorcerer's Place ok ! excuse my lack of attention

That's right SP has as BG II IWD II size portraits

PS: you aren't allowed to make signature... and it's in french in a ENGLISH forum fews will be able to read it, but I'm no Moderator though...

 

"il n'y a qu'un seigneur de l'anneau...lui seul a le pouvoir de me plier à sa volonté...et il ne partage pas ce pouvoir" ----?

what does that mean?

 

It means that he will get into trouble if he keeps using a signature. Perhaps being aware of forum rules may help?

 

cmon ! i don't think many people're gonna like me round here ! it's like i killed someone !! ok i didn't know, do i have to learn the rules ? everyone's on my back ! i know i have to respect the rules but i don't everyone to tell me "oooooaaaaaaaaah look what you did you gonna get yourself into trouble oooouuuah !"
sorry again

 

Calm down. We understand you're new. Just read the forum rules and post accordingly. It's not a big deal.

As to your portrait problem...just browse through the portraits page in the IWD2 section. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. Perhaps someone here will be nice enough to make some if they haven't already. If not that, then go to google and type "Icewind Dale 2+custom+portraits" and something will come up. Good luck, and again...calm down and don't take our comments personally. We SPer's just don't take kindly to poor internet etiquette.
