Character portrait
Sat, 11/19/2011 - 07:30
When we finish a map and return to Haven, our character's portrait will be displayed together with the loots that we obtained.
I am wondering if there is an easy way to recreate these portraits outside of the game? I am aware of Spiral Spy but I found the tool not as user friendly as I expect it to be. I was hoping there is a tool that I can specify "I want my character to wear Dragon set with Gran Faust" and it will give me a portrait like that, without navigating through directories with silly names.
Is there any way to do this easily? Thanks!

"I want my character to wear Dragon set with Gran Faust"
But that is simple and easy for me

Last time I checked there
Last time I checked there were about 3-4 artists (me included) taking these kind of requests in the Treasure Vault section, thought about looking there for some help?
Unfortunately no such tool exists, but what you can do is that once you know which files you are looking for you can make copies of them and put them into a folder you created as a sort of 'character profile', I'll be explaining this better very soon if you follow my thread.
Why Spiral Spy is not very user-friendly. A victim of its own success.

Thanks for all who responded
I will be forward.
I find Spiral Spy not what I am looking for from a tool. I mean, navigating countless of files and directories (often with names that make little to no sense), just to do a few simple things? It makes more sense to have pre-defined macro that auto translate in-game equipment name into the corresponding data files with proper attributes. And this should be something very basic and build into the design of your tool since Day 1.
If this is the author's way to create "opportunities" for so-called artists for hire, I think he is doing a very decent job so far. (Just look at the responses in this thread are more than enough proves I like to look at.)
As for the people who responded in this thread who are looking for business, I think you are looking into the wrong thread. Sorry folks.
If you'd ask nicely I'm sure someone could bring up a SpiralSpy image for you. I could do it myself I suppose if you give me some details.
