Soldiers witch Llauma head's - project

[llauma 0]

IMHO the Llauma "replacement head" is not especially good.

That default face that is distributed with it is especially

awful - he looks like a shop-dummy, I always cringe whenever

I see yet another screenshot of that bland, plastic-looking,

"boogly" eyed countenance. Of the head models I have

seen, I am much more impressed by the heads on the Red

Hammer Studios Russian Federation troops. These are very

skilfully "sculpted" and use less polys than the Llauma head

does.

You are right about certain things. The head model isn't that good. After all it was released for people so they could maybe base their own head model on it. It's easier to modify my head to your own looks than it is to modify the original head. The mapping isn't very good either. The textures can also be done much better.

The heads RHS uses have better proportions than my beta head, but calling them skillfully sculpted means than the sculpting skills of this community aren't very good. The heads are just okay in my oppinion.

But I'm glad that someone sees the weakness of my beta heads. That means that I'm not alone.

This is how the LSR head which I think is the same as the one RHS uses in comparison with my latest head. LSR & LLA

It's not that they arent without flaws, they were just new and it's nice to try out new heads.

I know I didnt want to complain about them. I just hoped a new version would come along someday with more variety and a new model.

Judging from Serial Killer's FIA pack, he did a great job of incorporating Llauma's heads without the dependency of other addons. MIG is there any chance you could apply the same to the US Soldiers addon you made? Thanks

The heads ( and hands ) on our units are made by DPS from "OurWeapons" Project and we use them with permission.

However yes they arent perfect but better than the normal heads for sure

However the Llauma head also doesnt furfill my needs so far, it may be this one like Jimpy called it "dummy like" face seen in several variations over and over.

If you want units with just the Llauma heads i suggest someone sits down and makes a decent facepack for them all individula ones not all based on the texture that comes with the head.

So far i find our current heads better for our units but thats simpy cause it fits the way our units are made pretty well... maybe cause its a pretty russian shaped head... hehe

Exactly.. And I don't wanna texture my heads with the original textures cause the model is way too detailed for them. It would be a waste of polygons.

But for the sake of compatability, not only with default faces, but also with user-made custom faces, it would be nice for addon makers to have that option EDIT: Having said that, I don't want to come across as being ungrateful for the work you have already put into the current version, I and many others appreciate your hard work on it.

Maybe I can map the second lod with the original textures

Thanks for the update mate

Hi,

Thanks for the update!

A note to mission makers, if there is an addon listed in the requiredAddons in the CfgPatches in the config cpp of an addon, this addon must be specified in the mission.sqm under both the headings addOns and addOnsAuto. Otherwise a Cannot load, missing addons <insert name of addon here> error message is produced on start of the mission. Such an entry is not automatically produced when saving the mission in the mission editor, but must be manually added in the mission.sqm file using a text editing program.

Example:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

addOns[]=

{

"custom_head_texture",

"bis_resistance",

};

addOnsAuto[]=

{

"custom_head_texture",

"bis_resistance",

};

Regards,

Sander

Thanks Offtime. I'll put those to good use.

Sander, I thought you can do it by previewing the mission in Mission Editor and then saving afterwards.

[sander 14]

Hi,

Not all (required) addons are saved automatically when using the mission editor. A bug report for an addon released last year helped me track down this undocumented feature. A mission.sqm file needs to be checked manually and adjusted where necessary when CfgPatches contains a requiredAddons entry.

Regards,

Sander

It take long time to publicate my US Soldiers in 0.81 version, but unfortunately I'm sick and I'm looking on this forum very often

That's why I'm sending link to this file, list of changes and requirements You will find in ReadMe, now I can say, this soldier's are looks good on FFUR textures.

Unfortunately I haven't got time for take some screenshots(I will say true, im to lazy to do it )

Download addon: <a href="http://reaktors.boo.pl/USA_Soldiers_v0.81_beta.rar" target="_blank">USA Soldiers v0.81 Beta

Hmm…. Main Hing i need is textures of tis addons (infantry), but this textures and other stuff I will add to .pbo file and then it will have the same "weight" - I'm working on changing target paths of texture, but it will take some time,and I will have some problems of uploading it on server (weak connection).

@Offtime I don't know, mayby is it script false, game false or something else, but if You get in to car (with one of my USA Soldiers) and disembark of it face of soldier will have other face in game    - I don't found it in earlier version of You're face pack (but mayby I was "blind" on it )

dont you dare to ask him to do that again, ever !

your whole post looks like copied from one of those freeware online translators

its hard to understand it.

on topic

as far as i understand your post

there is a problemn when unit is spawned inside the car

soldier has bis face and it looks like horror character

its coused by the fact that proper face is set by unit init eventhandler

and to make it works, unit must dissembark vehicle, then game engine runs init eventhandler and sets proper face

to avoid that in WP Soldiers mini mod all vehicles have attatched script in init line

wich when game starts is kicking all soldiers out of vehicles and then is puting them back on theyr places

player is unable to see this operation becouse it happends very fast, and only when game starts.

and thanks to that soldiers init eventhandler is working just the way it should.

Is there an updated version of the WP Soldiers with this new facestex.pbo as i'm a complete ass when changing certain things in the config....

[ag_smith 0]

There'll be a new version released soon.

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Yo, AG, where in the name of god did you get those vehicles? I want one - they'd look nice standing next to my totally reconfigged RHS dudes! (esp the BRDM - the Spetznatz mod still haven't added any freakin' shadows to their old ones!

[JustEvil 0]

Sorry for stealing this topic, Radek,...

Those vehicles are made by Offtime for WPS mini-mod. BRDM will come as an open source addon and we will provide layered .psd files for interested addon makers, so that you can make your paint schemes (the one presented on the pic there is Polish).

Dunno much about those AAloking faces but I like the ones lauma has as his sig they are nice and arent that of much required polygons I also liked the idea of how they are african color and not just one simple race.  Eitherway it would be nice to see new faces..

Ps:I wish i knew how to make my own faces i dont even got photoshoP..

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Thanks AGSmith, nice stuff.

Radek - good job with the US soldiers. Once you've added shadows they'll be near perfect. Just remember to add shadows! I can't stand addons without shadows! Loving the new heads, too. Kudos, comrade.

Oh, and don't forget to add LSR's seals to requiredaddons in your configs. I can run them without it, but the machinegunner gets nice white machinegun ammo boxes!

All of this is nice to see.
