How do I use Champion:setPortrait(filename)

[Lollgramoth]

Hello everyone.

I was wandering how to use custom Portraits with the Champion:setPortrait(filename) function. I tried but I didn't get it to work. Have any other problems with that or did anyone used this function successful'? I need a hint, besides: "Sets the image file to be used as champion’s portrait. The portrait must be a valid TGA file of size 128*128 pixels. The file must be located in “mod_assets” folder or contained in the base game archive."

I'm not clear on what function difference you're trying to achieve so you may know this already. Place your portraits in mydocuments\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock\Portraits and they will be available to choose in create party - import portrait, in game.

Not 100% sure of this, but have you tried

Code: Select all

party:getChampion(1):setPortrait("mod_assets/portraits/myPortrait.tga")

Also, per the discussion here - viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3260
you need to save your custom portrait in DDS format and call it myPortrait.dds

even though in the script you call it myPortrait.tga!!

Just tried this:

Code: Select all

party:getChampion(1):setPortrait("mod_assets/portraits/dwarvenWarrior.tga")

with a dwarvenWarrior.dds file I created in GIMP and it worked.

Exactly that is what I tried

Just tried this:
CODE: SELECT ALL
party:getChampion(1):setPortrait("mod_assets/portraits/dwarvenWarrior.tga")

with a dwarvenWarrior.dds file I created in GIMP and it worked.

Yes, it works. I didn't get to save it as a .dds and call it as a .tga! It works. Thank you very much. Maybe I did compression or something funny ... it seems I need to use the default settings and leave the settings alone in order to get it work. Thanks very much.

Works, works, works.
