Character Portrait and Name

[Near4422]

Hey there!

I am currently developing my first ever custom character for DST and it's goig well.
Now i am facing a completly new challenge that i didnt expect at all - character portrait and name...

I've alerady done all the character selection informations - all the STRINGS prats with stats, quotes and starting items.
Now i'd like to change the portrait and the name of the character but even after searching through forums and tutorials I simply cannot understand what's going on - so i am here to ask for a bit of help.
 

I've already found TexTool and TexCreator and tried to work with theese but couldn't really get it right.
I've found some information about recompiling the mod etc - never done that and would need a step by step tutorial on what am i supposed to do in order to get it done.

I can create the graphics myself, so the only part i need help with is implementing those inside the mod.

You may want to take a look at the Mod Icon guide, it goes over some stuff about texture compilation, about both the .tex and the .xml files, if that's the part you're confused about anyway. I actually have been having some trouble myself lately with redoing my character's title, that texture specifically is a little finicky in my testing, so hopefully someone else comments with some tips for that.
