Steelhead9 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I am using Total Minors 4 and LeveRRe's portraits. I decided to try and find some individual portraits for some of the missing AA guys. So i found one and tried loading it into the Portraits.big file through EA Graph. Everything seemed to load ok but when I try to look at the player profile in the game, it crashes. So obviously I didn't do it quite right. I then tried importing the picture using an edited version of some of the batch files using gfxpak, but still no luck. Can anyone fill me in on what I need to do to make this work? I'm not as advanced as some of you modders so please keep that in mind. Thanks!

angerboy Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 you need to create an alpha file which is just a black background of the border. you can use photoshop magic wand and just select around the player. The move it to a seperate file. You can then go into MVPEdit and just click on the players portrait and it will allow you to change the portrait. It will create the .fsh file for you.

Are you trying to create one....OR...Trying to insert one into the Portrait.big that someone already made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead9 Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 Guest - It's a existing photo in bitmap format. I thought one way I could do it was extract an existing photo from portrait.big in EA Graph, re-open the extracted .fsh file and use the import wizard to replace the file. Of course when saving, I would re-name the file and label to the proper ID number corresponding to the player. Angerboy - I can't get the portraits to appear in MVP Edit :banghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
