This idea sounds great! How would you do it so it wouldn't assign my white skin coloured rookie a dark skinned portrait? :)

Methodically?

Honestly the NVIDIA DDS Plugin for PS CS2 9.0 isn't saving properly (per NickyJ's tutorial) and it's making me angry. But once I get that issue addressed I am going to have to do each portrait one at a time in Dat Editor Xtreme. Batch replacement isn't going to work because they don't appear to correlate with the face ID #'s

Last time I overwrote the toon portraits when I created the HD Portrait Pack, it messed up some non-toon portraits by having toon parts-mustache, hair. Just replace only the toon faces and not the toon parts.

One more thing, you can use batch import if you do portraits in MUER just like what I did in the HD portrait pack.

Does HD Portrait Pack already have all the toon images replaced with photos? Or you scrapped it?

I was planning to use the bald hair DDS dat file (transparency only, 16x16px, File #2405 in DEX) to replace all of the hair files as well. You think I should leave them alone? Won't the hair and mustaches appear over these photo portraits if I leave them?

He scrapped it simply because it made franchises look wrong. He had the generic "team helmet" portraits, which don't work for franchise mode for obvious reasons.

Also... Am I only person who kind of likes the Super Nintendo zombie cartoon portraits?

I mean..they are not horrible, I just don't like the fact that 3 out of 10 rookies have the exact same face with different hair :lol:

That's why I go through and, using Excel, change the Face IDs of most of the rookies. Makes it much more realistic.

Honestly it kills the immersion for me. Instead of seeing a thumbnail of an actual photo, I see videogame people whom I have no sense of connection with. Never make it past year 4-5 in franchises because I stop caring about who I sign or cut when they both have the same dead eyes.

I'm currently in season 51 of my franchise. It would look absolutely horrible WITH real portraits at this point.
