Greetings Alfans!


Below are several things to help enhance the online role playing that you experience here.  Working with the KEMO Description editor that is built into your game, you can enter the text description for your character that others in game will read when they "Examine" your character.  You can also have a custom portrait that you feel better represents how they appear, rather than the rendering the game provides.  
This targa image, tga, requires a certain aspect ratio to work so you can see it, as well as it must be in not only yours but everyone elses NWN2/portraits folder for players to see it.  When a player "Inspects" you in game they will now read your description AND see your custom portrait.


***To see the image YOU must have it in your portraits folder.  For another to see it, THEY must have it in their portraits folder.


HERE IS WHAT TO DO - 
1. Download the compressed portraits pack and extract, unrar, unzip it into your NWN2/portraits folder.

2. If you dont have one already, download and use one of the viewers offered here.

3. Using a viewer find a portrait you think best captures your character, OR you may find or have an image not here that you want to use (if so please CONTACT Maxcell on the forums using a message and I will get you set up)

4.copy down the file name of your portrait EXACTLY as you see it WITHOUT the .tga extension.  (example   po_122_face  <- note the underscore is part of the file name and NOT a space, you can also rename the file to a simple form of your character's name, BUT please contact Maxcell on the forums so I can update the pack)

5. In game, right click and hold anywhere on the screen until the command "Edit Description" appears.  Click on "Edit Description"

6. Type your text description in its place.  Above the portrait space on the right hand side of that window you will type the name of your portrait file EXACTLY as you copied down and WITHOUT the .tga extension.


IF all is done correctly your portait should immediately appear to you.  Log out to save or save using the in DMFI save in game.  

IF it does not work for you, contact Maxcell on the forums and I will bend over backwards to get you going.
