    1/ create a folder called "Portrait" in arcanum/data.

    2/ Take a 64x64 bitmap, 256 colors and name it like this:
    the 2 first letters = the race (HO = half orc/ HG = half ogre/ HE = halfelf / EL= elf/ HU = human / dw = dwarf / HL = halfling / GN = gnome
    then the gender M for male , F for female
    then the numer (ranges from 01 to 99)

    for example, let's imagine u wanted to import a male half elf portrait: the file name will be HEM01.bmp

    you can also create a "big" version of the picture by using a 128x128 picture and naming it (in the case of my example) HEM01_b. It will be the picture shown in the character creation screen.

    3/ create a file named userport.mes and place it in the folder. To import the male half elf portrait, do as below:
    {1}{HEM01}
    add lines as you import more portraits
    {2}{HOF01}
    {3}{HOF02}
    {4}{HOM01}
    etc.........
