Have you already started? If so, there might be, though I'm not sure if it'll work. If you haven't started yet, these will work.

Make an image, 64X64.
Save it as "mypic.png" in your Ecshalon Book II folder.
If you already started, and were using a custom photo, replace that with this.
If you haven't started, than when you open the game to start select this as your sprite.
Be sure it is 64X64, and saved as mypic.png.
If you already started, and didn't select the custom sprite, I don't know what to tell you.

Hope that's helpful, but sorry that I'm not sure.

I think he meant as the walking sprite animation for the character. If he (or I may be making a bad assumption and Bratttn is a she) just means the character profile pic, you can change that to the custom pic at level up, though.

OMFG!

Since when did the sprite become a portrait? I meant exactly what Kreadore Freeaxe suggested - the walking animation. So... is there any way to change it in a savegame editor or with other tools?

I want this in partucular.

I'm afraid your character just isn't a sexy ranger. Sorry.

Even if you figure out how to reverse engineer the datapak file and swap the ranger sprite file for the female PC one, it won't work easily. The PC has more complex animation than the NPCs, so you'd need to manually duplicate a lot of frames. Even then, the Sparrow/Hunter images include a bow, while the PC ones get appropriate weapons and armor added to them depending on what you have equipped.

The license agreement for the game also prohibits you from reverse engineering the game content, so I can't in good conscience even wish you luck and ask that you post screenshots if you get it working :)

And personally, I'd much rather play as a mire troll or one of the wizard sprites. I think the default player sprite makes a perfectly reasonable ranger.

Sexy rangers can have their advantages. :)

...But sexy sorceresses?: much more useful.
