BG2EE lacks the new portraits and sounds from BG1EE?

Endarire

Greetings, all!

I got the Steam PC version of BG2EE and BG1EE. I found it odd that the portraits and sounds introduced in BG1EE were absent in BG2EE, even though this seems like a logical progression and an easy fix. May we get this fixed?

The additional portraits and voices were part of an expansion for BG1, hence their not being available in BG2. To be fair, most of the original BG voices also did not crossover to BG2.

That's it, just put them as custom portraits and custom sound sets, it WILL work.
And work well

@CrevsDaak: can you please explain the steps to do that?

Thanks!

@Patch61 you have to extract the portrait from BG:EE, for this task I recommend NearInfinity or DLTCEP because they are inside a BIF, export them to your desktop or any location you'll find them. Drop them in your BG2:EE "portraits" folder, then go to BG:EE again, go to lang/en_US/sounds and all the sound-sets, I recommend renaming them, I named them EEFEM and EEMAL respectively, drop them in the BG2:EE sounds folder in the same location and done.
