EddiePrice 16 Posted January 10, 2008 Hey guys, I've been searching these forums for a while for a solution to my problem. I seem to not be able to see my custom face when I host multiplayer or join a server without a custom face file limit. The face shows up in SP but I just get "whitey" in MP, even when I'm the host. Any ideas? Does the game not allow over a certain size or something? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakkis 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Make sure that your face picture is under 50 kb, then theres no problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddiePrice 16 Posted January 10, 2008 So there is a limit? 50kb? Seems a little low when at full res my face is 900kb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teliko 0 Posted January 10, 2008 I believe it's 100kb and make sure it's JPEG and at a low resolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakkis 0 Posted January 10, 2008 I don´t think there´s a limit for that, but some servers doesn´t allow it to be more than 50-80kb. But hey what do I really know  *edit* confirmed, 100kb is the limit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psycosmos 0 Posted January 10, 2008 The problem is, if everyone uses, for example, a 1mb customface on a 32 player server, then someone connecting means 63mb of data for the server to send/recive, just to get the faces of all the other players and give them yours*....everytime someone connects! Add custom sounds, data because you join in progress, the mission itself and suddenly you need a dedicated 100mbit connection just to be able to provide a smooth 32 player experience on a single server. *(They need your face: 31mb to send, 1mb to recive for the server, you need their faces too: another 31mb) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MEDICUS 0 Posted January 10, 2008 If there's a filesize limit on a server (for example 40kb) and your files (face.jpg or custom sounds) are too big (40.1kb ++) you are not able to connect. You'll get autokicked by the server. MfG Medicus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddiePrice 16 Posted January 10, 2008 Yeah thanks guys. I knew about the server limits, but I was wondering why there's a limit when I host is all. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
