ArmA Custom Faces For Free

[wipman 1]

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

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 ):

[wipman 1]

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

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.....

[Shadow NX 1]

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.

[wipman 1]

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...?? >>;-)

[BroK3n 0]

@ 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]

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

[BroK3n 0]

@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.

[Strother 0]

oh oh, do me next do me! I need to take a 45 degree angle picture

To all those whose faces seem overly bright, I have a Question, do you have an ATI Graphics card? I'm sure I read that it's something to do with that

Mine does, but it was only a WIP just to show like.

I use a 7600GT card.

[-Puma- 2]

the colors aren't same in photosop and in-game, u just have to tuned so that it comes perfect(lots of reloading warning)

[wipman 1]

Hi, i've made two new faces.

Kevin Spencer:

USMC Sniper:

I hope that you like 'em. Let's C ya

[hedcrusha 0]

Love your work wipman. By any chance could you release all the faces you have made into one pbo file like the SWM_Camofacepack?

[-Puma- 2]

heres mine with anti ballistic goggles:

thanx for info wipman, but I've been diong face with goggles just like that, but was wondering if I was was able to make goggles with transparency, so that the lenses look like glass lenses where u would be able to see the face underneath it.

[d3dsh33p 0]

Took me like a week to perfect it

[wipman 1]

Hi, no hedcrusha, i had a config that a man sent me; but it don't

works with the classnames that i wanted, so i didn't a faces pack

for that reason. Let's C ya

Hi there can someone make a face painted with turkish flag? And how can i use that face in multiplayer? i have the downloaded version with patch 1.05

[wipman 1]

Hi, to use this faces or any other custom face you've to download

the face tou your Hard Drive and save it inside your:

"C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My documents\ArmA"

and there, save the face texture as: face.jpg . run the game... and

have fun. Let's C ya

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!

[wipman 1]

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. Let's C ya

[Curatalo 0]

Wow! You guys are awesome at making custom faces.

Do you think maybe that you could make me a face?

All I want is a Turban on me,if its possible (I know it wont stick up in the air or anything)

Ty
