Custom Face

Recommended Posts

I don't know if this is right place for it.

I really love custom faces, and I am waiting for new faces, but you know...

So I wish if someone can spare several minutes to convert this face to the new ArmA 3 face (which is much more simpler as far as I seen from the PBO's).

I would really appreciate if someone would do it, but I will understand if no one will.

BTW the new face template http://speedy.sh/CjTzj/face.png

Thanks in advance.

I made a template!

I might make a new thread later if it is conformed to be the base UVW used for all/most characters.

I can't confirm that myself. If someone could, that'd be great. I'l probably include more face versions later.

Custom face template files.

What did you actually do? Save the png, edit, save as face.jpg in the right place? Maybe there's a hidden value for skin-tone somewhere.

  class Default
 {
  displayname = "$STR_CFG_FACES_Default";
  texture = "\A3\Characters_F\Heads\Data\m_White_01_co.paa";
  head = "DefaultHead_A3";
  identityTypes[] = {};
  material = "A3\Characters_F\Heads\Data\m_White_01.rvmat";
  textureHL = "\A3\Characters_F\Heads\Data\hl_White_hairy_1_co.paa";
  materialHL = "\A3\Characters_F\Heads\Data\hl_White_hairy_muscular.rvmat";
  textureHL2 = "\A3\Characters_F\Heads\Data\hl_White_hairy_1_co.paa";
  materialHL2 = "\A3\Characters_F\Heads\Data\hl_White_hairy_muscular.rvmat";
 };

This is the code for the default face. The textureHL is the texture for the hands. I don't know why there are 2 of them, but that's what you need to add, I think.

@AlexVestin - Exactly = Save the png, edit, save as face.jpg in the right place

@antoineflemming - Certainly the good way, but how to add textureHL like "face.jpg"

i'v try "body.jpg" "textureHL.jpg", same blue body like fantomas :)

What you're basically speculating on, is that we might have to have a custom texture file for the body too to get custom facemaps to work?

Do correct me if I misunderstood.

I agre whith AlexVestin, i think (i hope) the way is more simple to ad custom face and skin like face.jpg an other profile folder.

My format was weird I noticed. I could not save them as TGA and TexView was unable to open the PNG files. Fixing it.

In 10 minutes they'll be updated. Not sure if it fixes the blue skin.

edit:

Does not fix mr blue man.

Atleast not when you're having one file named face.jpg only.

It would be nice if someone at BI could give us a hint on how to fix the blueman bug :)

So the custom Face put into your profile folder only works for the head (I found that a 512x512 face.jpg gives the smallest file size) Just need someone to work out how to do the rest of the body :butbut:

I found many hand's and ArmA 2 like faces in the Head folder inside Characters>>Heads>>Data called hhl_grover_co.paa and hl_white_bald_co.paa.

I had a look inside ArmA3.exe, searching for traces of how it deals with face.*

This came up:

b¢R.face.jpg....face.paa....\players\...$...*.*.\sound\.È`..à.@.$æP.ò@.p`..,µR.

Searching for more .jpg instances came up with nothing, so i don´t think adding body.jpg/.paa or legs.jpg/.paa is possible atm.

BI, some insight please? :(

All is in there. Lots of textures for all the skin-tones and such.

I've got a template with all the faces now, but I won't update it untill the blue man gets a fix. Biggest issue right now.

Not sure still if I'm allowed to include so many faces in a template either, so I'll just wait for now.

Sorry! My apologies :) Mr.Blue got me sidetracked.

The face camo should be almost identical atleast. Here you go:

facer.jpg

Save it as "face.jpg". You probably knew that, though.

Hello there

Although I can see my custom face on the head in the profile, in MP games I turn Smurflike again, head as well as body. Are you chaps experiencing the same?

File must be <100kb for MP i think. My first try was 136kb it didn´t show up, after converting to 95kb everything was fine :)

Would it be too much to ask for a config and a quick rundown of the files you have/added?

I don't understand how ya'll are doing this. I put in my profile to the right location just as you all say. Nothing in the face selection area. I even downloaded jgaz-uk's picture he did and nothing. So what are you doing that I'm not. I did my documents>ArmA 3 Alpha - Other Profiles> Venom and nothing happens in game. No custom face or anything. Ive tried .jpg files, .paa files and no luck.

Edit:Also tried AlexVestins picture for the OP. Nothing. What Am I missing?
