Question about portraits.

Mon Jun 04, 2012 5:18 am

Can't we just change a certain player's portrait by replacing it with a different player's ? I try replacing Ray Allen's with Paul George's, no luck.

Why would you want to replace Ray Allen's with Paul George?

I have no idea why you'd want to do that, but it could be done fairly easily without touching the textures.

1. Take the portrait you want to use.
2. Re-name it to match the PLAYERPKG of the player whose portrait you are replacing (eg plyrprts~PAGEORG.big to plyrprts~RAALLEN.big)
3. Open the file with a hex editor, such as HxD
4. Change all instances of the PLAYERPKG to match the filename (eg PAGEORG to RAALLEN). Most hex editors should have a find/replace all option, which makes this a lot easier.
5. Save the file, place it in your sgsm folder.

Alternatively, you could just make a custom portrait:

Again, no idea why you'd want to do this though.

I call your bluff.
