All portraits in the game are in one huge image named portraits.dds. It's like a huge version of my “portrait replacement” image, that has place for 32×32 = 1024 portraits, right now only 411 portrait-slots are used. Changing an existing one is just a matter of copy & paste. To add a new portrait (i.e. #412), one needs to find the portrait's number in the game data.

Obviously modifying or adding more portraits will require some coordination effort. To make your mod compatible with mine, you need to include my portraits. (feel free to do so ;)) Adding new portraits will be even more tedious, since there will be additional conflicts regarding which mods use which portrait-slots.

The game only accepts dds files (which is a bad choice for 64 x 64 images IMO). There are DDS import/export filters for GIMP and Photoshop.

nother tip: Don't save the image with MIP maps. Sometimes the game will get confused and used the “zoomed out” version of the MIP map (in other words all the portraits become blurs).

Yes, usually mip maps for 2d images are just a waste of disc space, but here the game seems to handle the portraits just like textures, they seem to scale with the screen resolution. When you enlarge the dds file to 4096 x 4096 the game won't care and simply use 128×128 for every single portrait. This would allow for some nice details once our PCs can run the game in 4k resolution.

when saving as dds, you need to select “No MIP Maps” in the dds-dialog.

[…] I had the same problem.
Then I moved the two files [PL_F_Head_O_DM.dds] and [PL_F_Head_O_SM.dds] into the [Female armor by Mr.Esturk]'s [Player] folder under […\Characters\Player].
It is working for me now.
