wipman 1 Posted May 23, 2007 Hi, i think that the Kb limit, is 96.something Kb; at least... that was what placebo said in it's day, when he released an ArmA face in .jpg at a res of 1024x1024 . Is true that there're some public servers that impose a limit in the custom files, in my opinion (concerning to the custom faces) that's a pointless restriction that forces us to renounce to the quality that you could add to your desired custom face. Impose a Kb limit or just don't allow those stupid custom sounds that some players use, is not a bad idea; most of the players that i've seen using 'em, used 'em to annoy other players and just to show how stupid a kid can be; but impose a Kb's limit in the textures, is force the players to renounce to customize they're game or to the quality and detail in a texture. This last two things are a crime in my opinion. Let's C ya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Puma- 2 Posted May 24, 2007 spot on: I really like SES server, but its imbossible to join them with face file , becasue they limit it to 20kb. On the other hand logos and suchs are way bigger, and following this rule u would think 1 would ban the logos too. anyways my face.jpg is somewhere around 45kb, and seen a couple of servers kicking me out because of it. Some 1 needs to do a proper research if the face files trully add more lagg to the game or is it just a myth and ppl get paranoid about 'em. btw wipman: I use photoshop, so If u can help me with with my goggles, especially, how to make the lens transparent... heres what i want to use: and this is where i've gotten so far(just need to figure out the transparency ): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wipman 1 Posted May 24, 2007 Hi, well Puma, that should be easy, just place the goggles over the face, resized to how they'll really be; then select the glass area that's right over the skin (ONLY, over the skin, not over the internal side of the goggles) paste the layers and done. But i think that you'll look like as a damn mutant from outer space or from Ibiza with that over the face; if i were you... i'll keep waiting for the 3D tools to make the units raise & lower the goggles as BAS did in the OFP and many others after that they did it for 1St time. I've made another custom face, this time is for the Body Count fans out there, "themed" on they're great 1St LP, the Cop Killer; banned in the U.S. "thanks" to the PMRC & Tipper Gore among others. So here it's: Cop Killa: Enjoy it. Let's C ya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroK3n 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Hi guys. Here's what i could come up with. I took Singapore's leader down to the dirty world of Arma. I think the results were ok... I wonder who i should do next..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted May 24, 2007 Do a Rambo one so people can reenact Part4 when its out.... exept the gore offcourse But seriously Sean Connery wouldnt be bad, then i can use him as Guba in a Nostalgic OFP style mission ^^ OR ( and thats probaly the one most people would like ) make a pack featuring the faces of the guys from Blackhawk down... Hoot and the others. Think that one was pretty often used in the OFP era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wipman 1 Posted May 24, 2007 Hi, good job there, Broken; if i ever get killed by that piece of rotten meat, or if i see it in my squad... i'll know for sure that's you; i never seen anyone using an olds man custom face other than Guba. But the face looks well adapted, a bit weird arround the nose... but that's a very well done custom face, in my opinion. Let's C ya P.S: Someone has noticed that the ArmA face no28 is the Samuel L. Jackson's face?; has BIS paid him for use his face/image in a game...?? or they're thiefs like me...?? >>;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroK3n 0 Posted May 24, 2007 @ wipman? Piece of rotten meat? 0.0 I respect the guy for his past man.... So here's Sylvester Stallone's WIP shots. Nose is a bit effed up though.. then again... it's Stallone's nose... Doesnt look like him though... the reason's because Arma's player model head isnt the same as his.

Kirby 2 Posted May 24, 2007 What angle of shots would you need to make a quality ArmA face of a real person? And could someone do one for a friend of mine? I said I'd make him a custom ArmA face but I kind of suck... Plus i dont have ArmA so cant test and tweak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroK3n 0 Posted May 24, 2007 @Blazin You'll need two shots - head on, and 45 degrees to the side (or maybe a profile would be better?) The head on shot would be for the face and the profile shot would be for the jaw and ears. Combine together and tada.... a flattened frog pic that wraps around the model.

-21stSAS- Major 0 Posted May 27, 2007 does anybody know how to get your AI to have the same custom face as you in MP? and can everybody else see it? a step-by-step walkthrough would be great, ty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wipman 1 Posted May 27, 2007 Hi, for make the AI's use your same custom face in SP, will be just writing the next line into the unit INIT BOX: "this setface "custom";" But i fear that in MP... each player will see it's own custom face in case of have it... and if he haven't any custom face, then he'll get back an error message (but im not sure on this last thing). One thing is sure... the other players will not see the AI's as you see 'em, they'll see 'em with they're own custom face, so every player will see a diferent face in the AI's than you.
