Can you make and add your own portraits into NWN? How? And into what file
directory?

Its quite easy, in fact i think that if you just google it in then you will
get thousands of hits. The only problem you may have is getting an image
editor that supports the Targa (.tga) format. I originally thought of using
paint but it didnt support that, neither did photoshop. Can you just save it
as a .tga?

Download the demo of Paintshop Pro. That will handle the tga files. Be
advised that any variation is the sizes has a good chance of freezing the
game.

Yes - 2710.
Trouble is, not one actually answers the question "Can you make and add your
own portraits into NWN? How? And into what file directory?" )

Take for example on#e of the more promising hits
http://nwn.bioware.com/builders/portraits.html - "Step 2. Create your custom
portrait, whatever it may be, in the 'portrait' area" - where IS the
portrait area?

Ok - my bad !!

Same link bit further down - stick them into
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\portraits or whatever drive letter it's on and it
works !!

Just try the main Bioware site - there are thousands of portraits for
Download - you can work out what size and format should be from them. They
go in your portraits folder.

Download the free IrfanView program. It will convert your images to .tga
format.
