Changing custom portrait with console

[Jesus Christ]

So a decent way into the run, I noticed some problems with my portraits. So I read up that you can change portraits with console.

party.party:getChampion(number):setPortrait("path to portrait")

However this does not work for me. I put in the correct path and name for the portrait and when I press enter there is no error return, it just goes through and nothing changes.

Use the Grimrock 2 Save Editor (requires Java):
https://www.nexusmods.com/legendofgrimrock2/mods/74

I haven't tried this, but the description says you can change portraits.

You can't use Champion:setPortrait(filename) to select a portrait in "Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock 2/Portraits/"
The filename has to be either
- path to a portrait that comes with the game, like "assets/textures/portraits/human_female_03.tga"
- if you're playing a mod, path to a portrait inside the .dat file, like "mod_assets/textures/portraits/yourfilename.tga"

Both methods use LoG2's virtual file system.

> I tried that save editor. It's very convoluted.

I'm using Manjaro Linux

How I replaced the first champion's portrait in quicksave.sav:

1) Download the portrait pack
https://www.nexusmods.com/legendofgrimrock2/mods/99

2) Unzip the portraits somewhere. I put them in
/home/igor/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/251730/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock 2/Portraits/

3) Save Editor: Open the Quicksave file
/home/igor/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/251730/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock 2/quicksave.sav

4) Gimp: Open one of the .tga portraits
https://www.gimp.org/

5) Gimp: Put the .tga portrait in the clipboard with Edit > Copy

6) Save Editor: Open the first entry (STAB) and select the first champion portrait, by clicking to the left of it => the area to the left of the portrait is now light blue

7) Save Editor: Edit > Paste

8) Save Editor: File > Save As

> I've seen poeple saying you can use the console to change custom portraits by using the full file path

I didn't know you could do that.
It worked for me, with
party.party:getChampion(1):setPortrait("/home/igor/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/251730/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock 2/Portraits/20_female.tga")

edit:
Please post the exact console command you used in the game.
If the path contains your name, feel free to replace it with IgorIgorson

> The exact console command I used is the same as yours, just with the path to my portrait under windows instead.

You didn't answer my question about the exact path you're using.
Guess I'll have to answer it myself :)

On Windows 10, I put the portraits in
C:\Users\Igor\Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock 2\Portraits\

This console command doesn't work:
party.party:getChampion(1):setPortrait("C:\Users\Igor\Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock 2\Portraits\01_male.tga")

When I use the above console command, the game shows this error message:
[string "user-input"]:1: invalid escape sequence near '"C:'

But when I change all the backslashes ("\") in the path to forward slashes ("/"), the first champion's portrait gets changed:
party.party:getChampion(1):setPortrait("C:/Users/Igor/Documents/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock 2/Portraits/01_male.tga")

You're welcome!

edit:
Did you know that you can use Ctrl-V to paste text into the console?
