@VonDondu,
in order to distract myself from a nail-biting RL matter, I have just spent several hours searching out an image I might like to use for Xan, and resizing with Paint. Now I have two appropriately sized BMP images...
I know I'm going to sound really dense, and I have read your above post several times.... but I'm not technically inclined at all..
In step by step, layperson's terms, where do I go from here?
I have tried searching for the PORTRAITS Directory you mention, but other than the folder I use for regular custom portraits that I give to my PCs (and I doubt this is the one you mean), I can't find anything like what you mention...
Or at least, I went to a folder named "data" and I did find something called "25Portrt.bif" but I have absolutely no way of opening it....
I also attempted to name my portraits "XANS.BMP" and "XANM.BMP" and placing them in my normal custom portraits directory... but that does nothing. Presumably there is a file somewhere overriding my selections, but I don't have the foggiest how to proceed.
*sigh* Sorry about this... I know I sound like a dolt
