    I know I can make my own portraits and I downloaded the Portrait Processor from the Downloads section. I know what specs I have to save my files, but how do I get them to show up in the game? I save them the correct way ie HEF5 and HEF5_b, but they won't show up. There is a folder I created in my Sierradata section called portraits and I've been saving them there, and I created a .mes file with all the names of the portraits in it. But I feel like I'm missing something.

    Its case sensitive so it should be small letter e. Also, it works best with Internet Explorer.

    I tried it at first and it didn't work too. I tried it again and it works now.

    Hmm I read through the tutorial and did everything it said but my portraits still won't show.

    I think it has something to do with the gameport.mes file. When I single click on it to highlight it in my folder, on the side it shows the name of the file as gameport.mes.txt even though I didn't save it as a .txt file. And when I go to the new character creation page (in the game) the last picture that is loaded has a black square in the upper left hand corner. My guess is that is the supposed to be the new portrait but they won't show up. I'm stumped.

    01) Is the image size correct?
    02) Have you replace the *.mes.txt to *.mes?
