Hi guys!

I want to change Hexxat portrait by overriding the original with another of my own. Anyone of you knows the file name of the portrait? Any help would be really appreciated!

I mean, the "real" Hexxat portrait...

Thanks!

    @Jalily I can't get that to work... The replacing portrait for the new characters still go in the override folder right? In bmp?

    It should. I've replaced several npc portraits by placing them there, the same exact place as BG:EE had it (but the BG2:EE directory, obviously.)

    Nevermind, just removed one of the X:s and now it works

    I must be missing something. I can't get any of the other portraits to work. Does "OH" have to be in front of all the new portraits?

    Wha...Why would you replace Hexxat's portrait? It's one of the best things about her!

    Nope. The other prefixes are DORN, NEERA, and RASAAD.

    @alannahsmith: The vanilla BG2 portraits have N in front of them. Imoen is NImoen, for example. Viconia is NVicon, Valygar is NValyga. The EE characters, except Hexxat who is OHHEXX are just their names. (The ToB NPC is also just his name.)

    Same problem. Hexxat used some female or male standart portrait instead of hers.

    FIX: extracted portraits with NI, renamed them and assigned those as custom portrait via SK

    Hey peeps, I know this is an old discussion, but I've been all over and can't find a solution. Hexxat suddenly decided to change her portrait to the female, redhead paladin and I cannot figure out how to fix her so she goes back to her gorgeous self.

    I've tried a lot of different things mentioned in diffrent forums, but nothing happened. The only effect I've gotten was:

    When I put portraits (named OHHEXL) in the override folder (in documents/baldur's gate II enhanced edition/override) the portrait of Hexxat is assigned to the main character (!!! Gorion's ward/PC/whomever).

    If I name the portrait files OHHEXX (+ S, M, L depending on size), nothing happens.

    Is there a bright person out there who knows what I'm doing wrong? I'm so sad at this, Hex is smexy =D

    OHHEXXS, OHHEXXM, OHHEXXL

    Sounds like a spell from Chult, really!

    @ohnoesnotagain‌

    First, delete all portraits from the override folder. Mind you, the override folder is not in documents, it's in your game folder, for e.g., D:\BeamDog\00766\data\override.

    Then make sure the portrait you want to use is a 24-bit BMP with the right size (169*266). Then name it OHHEXXM. Then put in the override folder.

    To assign a portrait for you CHARNAME, put a portrait you want (a 24-bit BMP with the appropriate size named something like portM.bmp) into documents/baldur's gate II enhanced edition/portraits folder. Then in-game choose a custom portrait.

    I have exactly the same behaviour. OHHEXL (just one x) changes my own portrait, and i can't seem to be able to change any of the NPCs ones. And Hexxat's using the "fake" hexxat portrait which is annoying....

    Did you find a solution for it? I know it's been 2 years but i was hoping to solve the issue...
