Nice work :)

SexiestManAlive is working on a HUGE female portrait pack. That is going to have pictures named with gender, race, hair color, breast size, skin tone, and butt size. It would be great if you two could get chatting and come up with a standard file naming method that will pull images correctly. Don't know if he is working on a script too or not.

I agree that race should be searched for before age.

Problems might arise when 'body parts' have the same color (eg brown skin and brown hair). So long as everyone is on the same page with naming files, this shouldn't be an obstacle. Maybe agree that skin tones need altered name like brwn, bluu, greeen etc

I think just appending Hair or Skin should be sufficient. I'm thinking in that case, it'd be best to instead read through the file list once, cache it, and then do more complicated analysis on the name to capture out attributes.  BrownHair BrownSkin = specific attributes, Brown without a qualifier however is treated as hair.  As long as everything is consistent, I'm sure I can make something to match it. Biggest thing is to make sure the body matches the portrait path.

I also noticed there's an issue with Elf vs DarkElf. where Elf will match all DarkElf currently.  Also wondering how best to handle DarkElf vs. Drow.  Visually I'm not aware of any difference between the two? Thinking it makes sense for DarkElf and Drow to accept protraits named for either. Or should that be left up to the portrait pack to name the file with both?

Drow's have blue, paleblue or purple skin while Dark elves have tan, brown or dark. So I'd leave it to the portrait pack to name both.

Sorting DarkElf from Elf.... I'm not sure it's worth it. Their eyes have slightly different color ranges, but surely that's not a big deal. Maybe just work on adding sorting by skin tone, and leave that to sort them. Any DarkElf labeled with brown or dark skin color wouldn't be assigned to a normal Elf, because they never spawn with that skin tone.
