In Response to Newton
I mentioned this topic earlier but during the beginning of the development we were not sure whether the portraits will be used in the future so the feature was not removed. As it turned out, portraits are not used any more.
The portraits implementation should still be functional but it can be removed completely. Additionally:
+ Options about the portraits need to be removed in the graphics options
+ Display of (player) portraits in the player selection dialogue and it's file selection should be replaced with something else (f.e. a BigIcon which may have a size similar as the portrait) or removed
+ Functions make use of the portrait need to be removed (f.e. SetPortrait) or remodelled to work with Graphics (f.e. CustomMessage)
I don't really dare to dive that deep into the engine code (as I expect the implementation to be). So anyone of the more experienced engine coders up for this?
Edit: Removed the portraits related options (from the GUI only though!)
