Portrait Change Requests

[Wids]

Since apparently there's a problem with other players not being able to see my characters' portraits after I choose those portraits with the Portrait Selector in the OOC area, I was advised to send up a LETO request for each character who's having this problem (and thereby banish the Brown-Cowled Silhouette of Doom, the Black Rectangle of Doom and/or the White Rectangle of Doom).  So here goes.  

GSID: Wids

Character 1: Ashanti M'bao
Request: Please set Ashanti's portrait to Portrait: 1962



(I don't know what the red magic orb thingie is neither.  Let's just call it Ranger magic.)


Character 2: Tristoneira Pell
Request: Please set Tristoneira's portrait to Portrait: 1887




Thank you!

I'll go ahead and withdraw the portrait change request for Tristoneira, since I've requested her deletion. The request to change Ashanti's portrait still stands, though.

Can't you change the portrait yourself?

[Wids]

I can. But that's not the problem.

Love the pictures. Wish I could see them IG. I do have one question; Chaotic wonderful? Neutral Hardcore? Just how did you manage that?

[Wids]

I'm just that awesome!  

 

...Nah, it's just Clone-Brushing from a Character-Sheetless screenshot and retyping, courtesy of Paint Shop. 

(Getting the fonts to match is the hardest part.  9-point Futura Bk is as close as I can get to whichever font the character sheets use.)

Anyway, back to the purpose of this topic (and apologies if i was a bit terse with Snubletraad there), but while I can change the portraits with the mirror just fine, and while I can see them in-game without any problems, other players have reported not being able to see the portraits of any characters whom I've run through the portrait changer, and the character selection menu outside the game reflects this.

And sure, I can see Ashanti's portrait once I log into the server world with her, but other players still report seeing the same blank "black rectangle" that you can see in the character selection menu there.  And bear in mind that the portrait selector's options are limited to the server's gallery, shared by all players and DMs on this server; the portrait selector cannot access my own playerside portrait vault (and, with it, any downloaded or created portraits which I might have but which other players here don't have, the most common cause for for those infamous black rectangles and white rectangles).

So apparently the portrait changer might have a glitch or two to be worked out.  In the meantime, I'm hoping that Kal's powers of LETO might make Ashanti's portrait viewable to all, so that other players can stop bugging me with Tells about Ashanti's Black Rectangle of Doom disrupting their concentration.  

But it's a minor issue.  It can wait. 

(I still love you, Uncle Kal.  We all do.  And wouldn't even dream of taking you for granted.  Surely.    )
