You need to assign it in their .cre file. To do that, you need to edit npcs .cre file in Near Infinity, or DLTCEP. And then preferably copy that in a weidu mod... well, you'll have the file in the game folder from the editor of course, but the weidu mods are for others.

Hello all

 

 

This is probably a "noob" question that I ask but I tried to assign small portraits to non joinable NPC (considering the fact that

BG1NPC, for instance, has deprecated them for copyright problems) in vain. 

It looks like I was naive in thinking I had only to take a small picture (with an "s" and not a "L") and rename it with the codename of the NPC.

Any idea?

 

Thanks

Use Near Infinity to open the cre-file of the respective NPC and look up what the NPC' s portrait name is at offset 34 (small) and 3c (medium), then name a bmp file of the right size to that name and put it into override. For example Minsc has MinscM and MinscL in my game.

PS if some mod has put already another file into a folder *portraits* for that NPC, that one has higher priority, so either overwrite or delete it there.

To see what Roxanne is referring to in this, one needs to enable the hex offset option in the Options menu.
She forgot that it's not on by default.

It's the specifically the "Show Hex Offsets".
