I have original, two watercolor pictures of original in right size. How to add them to the game?

It's a very specific process but you'll find it's very easy

Just add them in \Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\gui\portraits\player\male      (or female)

here you can found all the various default portraits , and you can see the various specific picture sizes and prefixes .

 

So for example to add a new main portrait  just use this prefix

 

male_human_1_lg.png  (and ofc the other corrispective sizes and  prefix for other small & convo portraits)

 

then ,if you need to add more of them , go ahead with

 

male_human_2_lg.png,

male_human_3_lg.png,

......................................,

......................................,

 

male_human_9999_lg.png

 

and so on

I've just done this.

 

You need to make 4 images, all in .png format. I found the easiest way to do this was to open 4 existing portraits in Photoshop, then copy and paste (and resize) my custom portrait over the existing ones.

 

Then all I had to do was re-save the files with new names. For example, I made a new portrait for a female Orlan. So I named the files like this:

 

female_orlan_g_convo.png

female_orlan_g_lg.png

female_orlan_g_si.png

female_orlan_g_sm.png

 

It works a treat
