Ekvar SUNDERING Zenith Affinity	Posted - 2008.03.15 19:10:00 - [1] I made a new character today and added it to Evemon, however, I haven't been able to get the portrait to show. Update from the web - has no effect Update from eve cache: No portraits of your character were found in the folder. Ensure you have used the right folder (i.e c:/program files/CCP/EVE/) Ensure you have logged on to eve using this folder I have checked the folder and it is the portrait one, I don't know why this is happening. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Ekvar
Zeba Pator Tech School	Posted - 2008.03.15 19:13:00 - [2] Rendering server is dead so no new portraits are getting rendered. ETA to new server is Soon(tm) --------------------- Q: WTF! Why?! A: Because I can. ---------------------

ETA to new server is Soon(tm) Hi Could you explain what you mean by this? And do you have a source for this information? I don't understand why EveMon would be unable to add the portrait either from the web or the eve cache. Thanks, Ekvar
Ekvar SUNDERING Zenith Affinity	Posted - 2008.03.16 21:35:00 - [5] Edited by: Ekvar on 16/03/2008 21:35:22 Can anyone give me anymore information? I don't see how it could be a problem my end.

I don't see how it could be a problem my end. There's a server or part of a server which is run by CCP which holds all the portraits of all the characters for web use (anything other than the game itself), and it takes time for new portraits to be rendered and put up. As you can see, mine hasn't been rendered yet and it makes my rather lovely new sig slightly pants.

Indeed I can't get killboards to show my portrait neither can I see it on forums and I can't get EVEMON to get it. _______________________________________________________________________________ Reducing lag, one carebear at a time.
Willoughby Dashwood Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.16 22:20:00 - [8] Oh, by the way, if you're doing it from a local folder, did you remember to capture your character's portrait from the game? Right click on his/her ship > Pilot Info > Capture Portrait. This should save the portrait to your local folder automatically and Evemon should find it.
Ainnir Domhnal Republic University	Posted - 2008.03.17 07:49:00 - [9] It appears that the path to the portrait cache changed. Looking at the folder dates on my system, I think the 1.1 patch moved the cache to a new folder (Premium client, Windows Vista). Look for a folder here: AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility\cache\Pictures\Portraits In Vista this path is rooted under your user folder in your Desktop, or under C:\Users\[your_username]. On XP this will be rooted slightly differently, possibly under C:\Documents and Settings\[your_username]. What's new is the folder c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility in the path. EveMon is still looking in the old default place for portrait cache, so you need to point it to the new portrait cache folder. Right click on the portrait (or the ! image) and select Set Portrait Folder and put the new path into the box that is presented. Then right click on the portrait again and select Update Portrait from Eve Cache. This worked for me in Vista.

For Windows XP users - the new portrait folder is located in: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Application Data\CCP\Eve\c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility\cache\Pictures\Portraits Rather than: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Application Data\CCP\EVE\Cache\Pictures\Portraits Although the old folder does exist and still has old portraits in it. As someone else said, you may need to capture your portrait first. I changed the folder to the new folder above and then right clicked on 'update from eve cache' and it worked.
