I recently downloaded the patch 1.03. I was wondering if it is possible to use the avatar pictures from chessmaster for a personility as a custom picture. I input the name.bmp and everything but it didn't work. Did I do something wrong? Am I not supposed to use CM avatars?
I appreciate all the help.

What personality's avatar did you want to use? Keep in mind that some personalities (such as the Chessmaster) don't have separate .bmp files.

If this is the case, you can create a BMP by doing the following:

1. Starting a game with the personality whose picture you want to use
2. Do a print screen (PrtScn)
3. Copy the results into Paintbrush
4. Crop the image to the required size and save as 24-bit BMP file

Follow the instructions as described in the Chessmaster 10th Edition FAQ.

Hope this helps!

for the picture I used the User avatars. Do you know why a customized picture isn't showing up for other personalities?
Thanks

Could you be more specific?

Which personality's picture do you want to use?

What personalities aren't displaying a picture?

Did you get the Additional personalities from the Chessmaster 10th Edition Downloads?

The user avatars, the ones that you use for your account's picture. data/avatars. your profile pic.

In the new patch, it says that you can add home-made pictures to chestmaster personalities. But when i transferred the user avatar over "name.bmp" onto one of the computer personalities, it didn't show up.

It sounds like the picture you're trying to use isn't in the correct format.

The BMP file must be 24-bit, with a size of 76 x 97.

it is the right format. If you have chessmaster 10th, go to its program files, data, avatars, then view the properties of any of the avatars.

If your picture files are in the correct format, then the problem is that your Game Status Window is too small. Make it larger (i.e., wider).

the old default picture is still there...

The Data\Avatars folder is for your own custom avatars. To use a new image for the Chessmaster personalities, place the file in the Data\Personalities folder.

Yep. I tried that already. I put the "name.bmp" into the personalities folder but it doesn't do anything.

Okay... what Personality are you trying to update; and what is the name of the file you're putting in the Data\Personalities folder?

thank you for your help! I got it to work. I think it worked because instead of "name.bmp", I entered "name"
Thank you for your help

Super!

Sorry for the confusion...
