Custom NPC Portraits

[madsurgery]

How can I add new custom NPC portraits to my nwn/HG - which portraits are seen by other HG players ?

Either a site with the appropriate pack is appreciated or else an explanation of how to extract the portraits from the CEP hack files.

Thanks

There's a good portrait pack on nwvault, which has all portraits from nwn, sou, hotu and cep2 included. If a module supports cep2 (like HG), every player should see those portraits. The drawback: This is not a .2da file but multiple portraits you have to put in your ...\nwn\portraits folder; so you have to download quite a lot.

Check out the Wiki's Client Changes page. That has links to a number of helpful things for your client.

There's a link there to a portrait pack on nwvault, though it's different than the one shown above. In addition you can find Acaos' mega portrait pack which has all of those in addition to hundreds more custom ones. Since quite a few people are using the Giant Portrait Thingy you can have a decent chance people can see your awesome 'Angelina Jolie as a Dark Elf #12' portrait.

You can also find a link to CEP2, soundsets, the crash fix, the enhanced pack, instructions for turning on client logging, changing the cache size, changing the client port (if you use multiple computers at the same time), and the Google search.


P.S. It does not yet include bhao's awesome sound hak beta or the upcoming force feedback hak which really gives a new feel to the game as your mouse vibrates and moves with in-game action.

Amazon.com Review
Logitech's WingMan Force Feedback Mouse is one of those peculiar products whose secondary use is more compelling than its primary one. Designed to complement gameplay, the mouse aims to give mouse-controlled games a jolt, but we found its nongaming uses even more interesting in the long run.
