It seems to me the view is too close, we should see more details from their face.


Yeah problem was most pictures I like were big to begin with..   When I would resize them they would lose clarity and be kinda of dull pixelated which I was trying to avoid since the pictures seemed to looked pretty good as is for the 256 color limit.

If I redo them I'll see if the small ones can be made better.

Thanks for testing them..  Some of that darkness you talking about could be the transparent pixel problem.. I noticed a couple were really bad practically entire background was gone replace with the brown backdrop of that slot.

They look really great, but when I tried to use them on my map, does what happened http://imageshack.us/f/546/beztytuuerg.png/, and  when I started game it was just showing me arrow and black screen. I don't really know what I could done wrong...


I really don't know what could be the cause of you problem.. Perhaps someone else can help with that..  Most the scripting and stuff in this game are beyond what I understand right now.  

Do the heroes work in game?  Just not with the editor?  Could be an editor conflict with these maybe.. IDK..

They don't work in editor and in the game. So I thinks it isn't editor's fault.

Here is another portrait pack:

I'll test now for color bugs and then I'll convert in pcx.

For checking with original portraits:

I tried to keep the similarity with the original portraits, so it's easy acceptance in the game

I found a way how to deal with the transparent pixel problem. Heroes aplication use the last color of the indexed color table for transparent information. I convert RGB to INDEXED in 255 colors (not in 256!). It works!

I made the script in photoshop who convert everything (to do the pictures one by one is realy hard work) and some small pictures do not look good and I have to manually edit them.

Yeah, I looked thru those settings trying to figure out a way to script coverting it to indexed but I never found exactly what I wanted..

Could you upload the script and post it here in a link?  It would really help when I get back to redoing my portraits..

I have some scripts for several different tasks. First I make the portraits in single psd file, separate by groups, then I use javascript to export all groups in jpg files and multirename them. After that I use automate batch action script in photoshop to convert in indexed colors, big and small picture, and save them in pcx. Here is the *.atn  file:

I don't know if it works for you, but it makes easy.

Finally, I using flash action script to sort images in a table that you see in preview
