    They should be bitmaps. I don't think the color depth matters.

    [​IMG] Wow I just answered my question for myself after a while of messing around with the files. It turns out that the length of the name can only be 8 characters or less!

    Actually, I think you want to do the names with a 7 letter name plus either a L or and S at the end. I don't know that the game enforces that, but it is the "standard" naming for portraits.
