Heya folks,
I recently ran into a few people on discord who were unsure how to set custom portraits and where to put them in the files and such.
As such, I wrote out a manual for everyone who needs it, either because they found the mirrors' instructions unclear, or for whatever other reason.
Regards,
Thomas

INSTRUCTION MANUAL ON HOW TO SET YOUR CUSTOM PORTRAITS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Place the received .tga files in: steam/steamapps/common/Neverwinter Nights/data/prt
(If you haven't closed your game, restart it now, or the files wont load in properly if you move to set it ingame)
- Log back into the server
- Go to the OOC room (can be reached from the area you spawn in by the rear door after a server restart, or through a bedroom in any tavern / mist keep bedroom)
- Walk towards the mirrors near the relevel crystal
- Talk to the mirror
- Pick option Portrait
- Pick option Speak value
- Write the filename into the chat window as if you were speaking to the mirror (eg. po_myself / po_myself_ )
(NOTE: DO NOT INCLUDE THE H, L, M, S, T, AT THE END OF THE FILENAME (eg. po_myself_h) OR YOUR PORTRAIT *WILL NOT WORK*)
- Press enter and let your character speak the filename
- Then follow the instructions in the conversation menu (believe it just says continue)
- Your portrait should now appear ingame
- Enjoy!
