Team Lazarus
Portrait Replacement Mod
www.u5lazarus.com
=============================

This mod will allow you to replace the 6 available Avatar portraits with custom protraits of your own.  :)



This is about the simplest sort of mod you could possibly do.  The only trick is that you must have Adobe Photoshop or some other program which can read and write PSD files.  That's about it.  


Instructions:

1.) Dig down through the directory structure included in this zip until you find the portrait files, both the mini-portraits and the fullsized ones.  They should be the only files in here.  DO NOT change the directory structure, or this won't work.

2.) Open the files up in Photoshop and change them however you like.  The black and white image in the alpha channel is the transparency, white = opaque, black = transparent.  I highly recommend you DO NOT change the alpha image for the big portraits, since then the frame will look funky, but you may need to tweak it for your mini-portraits.  Also, I don't recommend replacing a male portrait with a female, or vice versa, or the game won't know your gender!  Keeps the males male and the females female if you want to avoid weirdness in dialogue.

3.) When you're done making your edits and have saved the files, run TankCreator.exe.   Set Source to the "art" folder that you extracted from the zip.  Set Destination to Laz_Portrait_Mod.dsres on your desktop.

4.) Click the "Advanced" button and fill in the Text if you wish, then switch to the Misc. tab. Set the priority to 3 (higher than 3 will also work, but not less than 3), but don't check the other boxes.

5.) Click "Create!" and your shiny new tank (dsres) file will be created on your desktop.  :)  Simply put that in your C:\Lazarus\Resources directory, and enjoy your new portraits!  If you ever want to get rid of them, just remove that dsres from the resources folder.


Happy questing!  :)
