Hi, Help please,
I cannot seem to get Sola's picture to change in game. It persists in using the original. Renamed my piccies DM041L.bmp (S) for smaller one, replaces the ones in override folder ok but not in the game. What am I doing wrong?  :(

They would need to be placed in the portraits folder.  If you don't have one, then you will need to create it, as the installation process doesn't create one.

No you do want it in your override folder.  Call the file SOLARS.bmp and slap it in your override folder.  Done.

Hi again,
Tried that still no joy. Let's start from the beginning please;
I have my 2 piccies sitting on my desk top, for want of a better place to put them for now, what do I name them and where do they go? I have done this before with an earlier version of Sola. and had no probs, that is why I cannot understand why it is causing a prob now!
Thanks for any help. ;)

Ok I am fool!  I put the name for the Solar!  For Solaufein take the larger picture and rename it DM041L.bmp.  For the smaller one rename it DM041S.bmp.  Copy and paste these into your 'override'.  Now if you uninstall Sola or end up reinstalling him then the picture will revert.  If you wish to prevent this then also paste your new portraits into 'solarom' directory.

NB: The picture on your saved game will not change as that is saved into the folder of the particular saved game.  If load that saved game and resave however it will change to your new portrait.
