"Post these up"?
If you mean how you add character potraits for the rest of the community to see, you can put the pictures on your webspace (if you have some) and post the url to your webspace.
Same goes for posting avatars, really. *Shrugs*

Character portraits aren't part of the module per say, but if you want to make sure that other players can see the portrait for your character, you can e-mail them your portrait files (there are 5 files).

i just wanna add that i don't use custom portraits. i just downloaded a harmless handful of files into my override folder to make the CEP portraits available at char creation. since these files are already included in the standard CEP download, everyone can see them. so before thinking about cutom portraits, i adice you to look for this download in www.nwvault.com 'cause CEP portraits can be seen by everyone.

Cheers, DM Bassa Would there be any objection from the DM team if somehow the custom portraits were collected and put into a downloadable file periodically? Maybe a link could be posted to the forum and if players wanted to have these portraits they can choose to download them and place them in the portraits folder?

That wouldn't really have anything to du with us as a DM team, so feel free to share portraits whenever, and however, you like. You would need to find someone to host the portraits file though, if you don't have webspace access yourself. Cheers, DM Bassa

Thing about the DM team keeping the portraits is that some people (me included) use copyrighted material....

ya, as I have so sadly found out after formating about 70 mb of portraits for FRC community use...unless you have your own webspace..the NWvault won't let me upload them unless they were of my own work. if someone would like to put up a site, I'd be more then happy to email them to you to put up.

If anyone is interested in downloading the portraits Eliysia or myself use on the server, you can find them at briefcase.yahoo.com/archonoflight. There are three zipped files with about 15-20 portraits in each, so the size is less than 5MB for each file. Feel free to use some for your own chracters, but don't be surprised if you happen to run across your twin.

Anybody know have suggestions of where I can put my portraits for those who wants it? This is what Yahoo! says:
"Share Your Files Give friends and family access to your stuff. Click on "Edit" next to a folder. You can choose who has access to the contents of your folder. When you create a folder you'll have this ability.
Please note that as of March 25, 2002 'Public' folders will no longer be available. Only people whom you've granted permission will be able to access your Briefcase files."
Guess why it's empty then!

You can do the same thing I guess by creating a free web site at a number of places and putting the zip file there. I use www.tripod.lycos.com/

Just a note: Custom portraits will still work for others if they only have t, m, & s (i.e. without H and L), but they won't be able to use it when making a new character.

You mean you dont have a portraits folder? I believe standard out of the box NWN doesnt create it... you can add the folder, add the files and then reload the game.. should work.

Well, I received a portrait file from Sabremoe and added to my download if anyone wants it... grozer.tripod.com/id11.htmlFYI, I don't mind doing this for others if anyone else is interested. Just email me the properly formatted files, zipped if possible of course.

**BUMP**
I received another custom portrait, but wanted to see if any others are coming so I can update the download once.
I'll wait a week or so before updating the zip file. Oh, please give me the name of your character in the email, as I'm posting a list of the included PCs for reference.

Thanks for offering these to the community Grozer. What is your capacity? I think the DM team has a gazzillion if you want them.

Since Grozer is hosting a place where we can share custom portraits, than I am going to offer truly "custom" portraits to those who are interested. I will post Manshin's so you can all get an idea of what I can do. Granted, I am a busy guy, so how many I can illustrait remains to be seen, but if you are interested, let me know.

Thanks for offering these to the community Grozer. Well I am doing this because I hate looking at the default NWN portrait for so many people!! Heh... by the way, since you are thanking me does that mean I can get that +10 unholy sword of good slaying? huh please? hehe... teasing of course ;D Are they all for existing FRC PCs or NPCs? Right now I am only using one of those free sites from Tripod/Lycos which doesn't allow much space. I can probably handle another 15 MB of files (obviously compressing them means about 20-25 MB of real space). So if you want to send them, I will see what I can fit. I'm trying to provide a characters names list as well so if you can provide names that would be great. I am in process to setup a website with a hosting company, should have something over the next month or two (provided work allows me some free time and I use it to do something other than play FRC). I should be able to host quite a bit more once I get that site up and running. For now just send em... I'll figure it out!

I think Usurper has all the portraits from Baldurs Gate, as well as many others.
I will see how we want to handle this.
Cheers!
