    Has anyone ever seen or heard about The Temple of Elemental Evil portraits for Baldur's Gate. I've been looking all over hoping someone has made them for Baldur's Gate but I'm not finding any. If they don't exist yet, is someone up to the challenge of making them? :o

    I don't think so, given how butt-ugly most of the ToEE portraits are it's not wonder nobody's bothered with them.

    he measurements for player portraits are 38X60 pixels for the small ones
    (8-bit color only) and 110X170 pixels for the large ones. Put these in
    the Portraits directory (in the install directory for the game) and add a
    S to the end of the small portrait name and an L to the end of the large
    portrait. The names must be 1-7 letters long, maximum.
    For example:
    XXXXXXXS.bmp for small (38x60, 8-bit)
    XXXXXXXL.bmp for large (110x70, 24-bit)
    For multiplayer, each player must have a copy of the portraits, otherwise
    they will see a blank icon where the other player's custom portraits would be.

    Most of the original ToEE portraits are low quality, but the new portraits (added by Co8 mod?) are really nicely done and I definitely could use them in BG/IWD. Too bad I haven't seen them anywhere else and I've been through quite a few portrait packs :)

    They are a Co8 exclusive ;) (actually done by professional artists), but being as it is a free distro there is no point in withholding them. I will work up both the originals and the Co8 ones for you people.

    Thanks for the specs, Solaufein.

    That's very nice of you. If you'd like me to host them here on SP just send them over to me and I'll put them up.

    Great new. Eagerly awaiting!

    Oh, and speaking of portraits; Is there a limit to Shadow-Keeper to display portraits in his selection window.
    I noticed that some portraits that are in the Pics folder don't make it into the said window.
    Sometimes some L's are missing, while their S' equivalent is present.
