Custom Portraits

[Wildan]

How about a thread where we post our custom portraits?

I made two which I currently use. One for heavy armored characters, the other for light armored, leather/overcoat guys:
Drop the large and small versions both into the C:\Users\[Name]\Documents\My Games\Underrail\CustomPortraits folder.

Edit: Backgrounds are set as transparent now so they should interact properly with the ambient of the area (thanks epeli):

Another thing I didn't know. Awesome, will change that.

Is there a way to import a custom portrait without creating a new character ?

[Wildan]

As far as I know you can only change the portrait of a character that already uses a custom portrait by putting a different png file with the same name previously used. For default portraits I guess we need a savegame editor. I tried opening savegames with a hex editor but I couldn't make sense out of any of the strings as the data is compiled.

I combined 2 in-game portraits to make one fitting the in-game player model wearing tactical vest coat Maybe someone will find them useful.










Edit: Some metal armor guy without helmet that will fit character model ->

Outstanding work, gentlemen!

Now I definitely have to do a Snake Plissken playthrough.

Definitly a couple pictures there that I really like! When someone mods the game so that merchants buy everything I'm definitly taking the top right one for my first playthrough.

I want to make a portrait pack, however, I encountered a weird... issue?

For example, this is the original image.
This is how I cropped it (obviously won't bother myself with hairs).
And this is how I see it in the game. How is that even possible?

maybe white is accepted as transparency

It looks the same to me

I've checked the portrait you have uploaded and it works as it should (no floating hair). Are you sure this is the one you have in your portraits folder?

I don't know why it works for you as it should, but for me the problem was because I exported files from GIMP with two options checked: "Save background color" and "Save color values for transparent pixels". Once I unchecked them, it started working as intended.

Your cropped portrait still contains those floating hairs, only with their alpha channel set to zero (in other words, they're fully transparent).

I'm not sure why the game would display those. But optimizing PNGs gets rid of invisible artifacts like that and reduces the filesize, sometimes considerably. Fixed version

Thanks!

Made 25 custom portraits (12 for female, 13 for male). Link.
If someone knows good artists, concepts of which could fit Underrail setting, it will be highly appreciated (send a PM).
