Etiquette on using Official Portraits in UMC
(I am not sure if a different sub-forum would have been a better fit; in that case, sorry & move this thread there, if possible.)
UMC = user-made content; that is, the campaigns (and more) that are not "mainline" (included with Wesnoth when you install it).
The portrait would be used for a different character/story (example: I am not talking about user-made "young Chantal" that would recycle Chantal's portrait; it'd another Shyde in a totally different context).
I know that it can be done, but is it considered "rude" or "confusing" or whatever?
Thanks for any clarification!

Re: Etiquette on using Official Portraits in UMC
Perhaps confusing at first to people who have seen the portrait used in a different context, but otherwise there wouldn't be any problem with using it.

Re: Etiquette on using Official Portraits in UMC
I, as a user, would not mind, but for main characters it may indeed be confusing.
Ideally art could exist for all non-default mainline campaigns.
Some of the add-ons are even better than the mainline campaigns too. However
had, art work such as portraits, while nice to see, is secondary to me - gameplay
is more important. (I don't even have music on; tend to just listen to youtube
or radio stations and what not.)
Edit: Actually I think there are some secondary add-ons relating to the main
theme, like that grog campaign... that big troll dude, I forgot his name. These
add-ons should ideally be merged into the mainline one day - always fun to
have a longer storyline for the main variants going.
