This is the Portrait Pack was developed for players on the Trials of Newcastle Role Playing server. Since it was released it has also been adopted by the Dungeon Eternal X Action / PvP server.
It is a good tool for PW servers to allow diversity in character portraits whilst encouraging the ability for all players to see the portraits for other characters. It is also useful for players who simply want a very large selection of options when playing in single player mode.
We did not produce the original artwork in the portraits, however in some cases we did splice images together to give backgrounds to images that originally had a single colour background. We created the Pack to allow players to access these portraits in one location as a 'set' for use on a PW server.
All credit for individual pictures should go to their individual creators.
This Pack includes: - Over 800 portraits in total - Over 300 portraits, compiled from different packs and individual portraits available on various NWN sites over a few years.
- Over 500 portraits that we have converted for use with NWN from artwork found on the web.
- Portraits for a wide range of the subraces used on NWN servers
Instructions: - To ensure you don�t lose your personal collection, move or re-name your existing portraits folder first, create a new folder called �portraits� in your NWN directory and extract the pack into the new folder.
Future Updates: If you have images, which can�t be found within this portrait pack, and would like them added, please contact us and if appropriate they will certainly be added.
WARNING: This updated Portrait Pack will NOT be backwards compatible with the first release of the Newcastle Portraits Pack.
All future updates will however be compatible with this version.
Please read on before downloading.
Why is it not backwards compatible? Over the years, so many awesome portraits have been submitted and used in many different compilation packs, many being duplicated with different file names.
What has been done differently here is this�
ALL files that have been gathered over our years of playing, along with some 500 new portraits have been renamed/named in a very methodical way so that portraits of the same race/gender will show already categorized. We have even included small Race/Subrace Category Sorter Images to help people find that perfect image that will run the life of their character in-game.
When placed into an empty portrait folder in your NWN Directory, all of these images will list beneath the Bioware NWN standard images.
If you would like your server added to this list message the me with a link to your forums showing the Pack being listed as one of your downloads.

bigbee - The portraits/pictures come from many different sources. Please email me the file names and I will see if I can backtrack through emails and such. In regards to the quality of a few portraits - As time and submissions come my way, if I receive a better quality image (of an existing portrait) it is used to replace that portrait (and would automatically overwrite when installing the expansion). One must remember, some of these portraits have been lurking about on peoples hard drives for a long time, so their quality may not be the best, however to ensure their long lived loved characters are not excluded I have included them. I have a few people helping to revitalise images so if there are any you think need a bit of tweaking, please let me know their file names and I will see what can be done, unless of course you have a talent in this area and would also like to help *winks* _________________________ The Trials of Newcastle www.TrialsOfNewcastle.com Newcastle on The Vault || Newcastle Portrait Pack Newcastle?s Direct Connect: 216.161.26.220:5121

Nice work. A few portraits seem a bit low in quality, but overall this adds a lot of variety to my characters. Thanks. I'm interested in knowing where some of these came from. Could you help me if I gave you their file names?

PotKettleBlack - Pixies and other subraces are my main focus for the next expansion - hopefully it won't be in the too distant future. _________________________ The Trials of Newcastle www.TrialsOfNewcastle.com Newcastle on The Vault || Newcastle Portrait Pack Newcastle?s Direct Connect: 216.161.26.220:5121
