The filename must be no shorter then 1 and no longer then 7 characters (not counting the size letter, see below).The enhanced edition can simply use the 210x330 one for both, since screen resolutions are a lot bigger then they used to be back when the original game was released, so sticking to that size for your images is probably the best option to preserve detail.įinally, there's the filename, which has to adhere to a few rules, namely : (There was also a third, even smaller size image but iirc that wasn't used for anything.) It used to be the case that baldur's gate used two separate images, a small one for the sidebar portrait, and a bigger one for the character record screen - hence the supported 110x170 and 210x330 image sizes. jpg/.png or other image format and renaming the extention will not work - be sure to actually open the image with an image editor (windows paint works fine for this) and save it to the correct format.
There's a few requirements that images have to stick to to be able to be used as a portrait file in BG:EE, namely filetype, image size and filename.įirst of all, the image needs to be a 24-bit bitmap (.BMP) file.
