Safe to replace custom character portrait in a game in progress?

[Ouroboros226]

I want to replace my portrait. I figured the way to do this, would be to add the new one - but name it exactly the same as the current one - but override it.  Do you know if this works?

I'm currently too afraid to replace my character's portrait in fear of having a big red question mark as the new portrait permanently. Note that I know the next patch will add the ability to change portrait, but I'm wondering about right now and how to go about it.

Thanks for any help!

Just to confirm Serdan: Yes. It should be safe.

Sure, the character data simply points to a filename. So long as the game can find PORTRAIT_NAME_L and _S, and they're .pngs of the right dimensions, the game won't care what the actual files are. You can replace the portrait as many times as you want... just make sure you keep some kind of portrait with the same filename there, or the game is gonna throw a fit!

Thanks It worked! I was scared to death that changing my portrait would bring the Godhammer on it for the rest of my game.
