I've been having problems about creating custom portraits for the Enhanced Edition. Do anyone know the new and exact specifications of the new portraits?

I tried searching through the forum, but could only find confusing posts about it in the middle of post regarding any other topics, so I supposed it would be good to have a specific post for that.

Thanks in advance to anyone who would be kind enough to help me with it.

    I read this from another thread, I don't remember who figured it out.


    1) In the BGEE folder in MyDocuments, create a folder called "Portraits".

    2) Create a picture with three different sizes S, M, L in .bmp format.

    Dimensions: S - 54x84, M - 169x266, L - 210x330

    3) Name them XXXXXXXS, XXXXXXXM, XXXXXXXL and put them in the "Portraits" folder you created in step 1. The file names can be a maximum of 8 characters long, but it doesn't matter if they're shorter.

    4) When you choose a portrait during character creation, a "CUSTOM" button will now be available for you to select your custom portraits.
