Portrait requirements
Hi
I'm going to try my hand at a portrait for some UMC. The post about portrait requirements (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=24555) suggests 400x400px. Is this recommendation still current? Is there anything more current/other requirements I should be aware of? I know about viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21138
Thanks
Brendan

Re: Portrait requirements
Yes, it's current. The separate 205x205 versions for the help pages are no longer needed though, and I've now removed that mention from the sticky thread.
Re: Portrait requirements
slightly different question: is the [portrait][/portrait] blocks absolutely required in an unit's wml ? as we now got small_profile=filename.png~SCALE(205,205)
another question have is making seperate transparent version of same portrait necessary ? can just make one transparent version and use it instead ?

Re: Portrait requirements - background?
Not so much a requirement, but a design question - is there a background template that will show me what the portrait will look like when it's displayed? Is it just black?

Re: Portrait requirements - background?
well, most portraits use transparent background these days, the times when the black background was ACTUALLY required are kind of behindbrendan_scott wrote:Not so much a requirement, but a design question - is there a background template that will show me what the portrait will look like when it's displayed?

Re: Portrait requirements
I'm aware that portraits have a transparent background, but they get composited onto something. That something is a background. Are the backgrounds the same each time? Are they a solid color? Is there a template?
Thanks

To see how portraits are used in Battle for Wesnoth, you can simply start any campaign in the game.
