How do i make pbo faces?

[Wadi 0]

I want to make a PBO face, so that I can use</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this SetFace facename<span id='postcolor'> with my own customised face. This is supposed to be easy but I don't know how to do it.

Yeah I too would love to know how to do this. Hmm... I know the USMC addon pack does this. If I remember correctly you don't even need to add in the face on the script, the cammo face textures automatically show up on their faces. I think I'm going to De-PBO it to see if I can figure out how they did that, but I'd like to make for myself a Gurkha unit from the Bibmi British Paratrooper addon (actually a modded version of it) with faces that look like Gurkhas.

Damn...I tried taking a look at the cpp files on a few addons but didnt' see anything about faces. I wonder if there is a way to include the faces as .jpg files in missions. Anyways I hope some other addon guys can answer this question.

From www.ofpec.com config.cpp tutorial.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">class CfgPatches

{

class Faces

{

units[] = {};

weapons[] = {};

requiredVersion = version of OFP required for this addon to work;

};

};

class CfgFaces

{

class FaceClassName

{

name="snYpir's camo face";

texture="\name of your addon's pbo\name of image.jpg";

east=1;

west=1;

};

};<span id='postcolor'>

Ah... I didnt' remember seeing it in the config.cpp tutorial at the OFP editing center but I guess I just missed it. Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!

Can anyone explain how I actually make this face-addon?

Is it this config.cpp and the images packed as a PBO and thats it?

Exactly right, mate!

My own little poser for those Gurus out there- Is there any way to get the game to use them randomly?

e.g. load up the an official mission and see your custom faces popping up occasionally in your squadmates/ enemy soldiers?

My own (untested) theory is that it's got to do with the "name" of the face- the original faces were all named "Face01", "Face15", etc, iirc.

Anyone think of a way around this?

I am confused, If I take a picture of my self hwo do I get it in game? I want to scare all the other people playing with me.

Duke, you need to download a facepack- some at ofpec- , DePbo it and have a look at the .jpgs inside. the format needs the face, back of the head and the hands to look right.

Duke of Ray, go to Avon's OPF FAQ and do a search for what you want. You can copy a template face there. It will teach you how to make custom faces.

I thought Avon had changed her Avatar for a second there...

So no-one's got any ideas on the "Randomised Faces" thing? Bummer, I'll have to do some research myself tonight ( instead of being a lazy bastard as per usual... ).
