Custom portraits problem (with screenshots)

Washcloth_Repairman

I get the silhouette with a question mark. I'm only supposed to need a L portrait and the game will automatically resize it for the others, but just to be sure I created S ones too and still get he problem. They are 210x330 24-bit .BMPs in documents\Baldur's Gate 2 Enhanced Edition\portraits.

The weird part is the small portraits show up in the load game screen, but not in the actual game.

Game with ? error.

Load game with correct portraits - I don't know what's going on with the chapter start save portraits, you can even see part of the map compass overlapping over the first portrait, but the autosave and manual save are fine.

As you can see, the character info screen is fine.

If I try to apply custom portraits in EEkeeper, none of them show up, not even the large ones that I can see in game.

try by getting rid of the "L" on the file name, and make sure your file name is 6 characters or less and see if that does anything

I messed up the third link, here is the correct one http://i64.tinypic.com/2aj6sut.jpg

But it doesn't really matter because I figured it out. Apparently I needed portraits with an M tag. It appears to be working correctly now.
