Custom face textures in ArmA 2?

[USSRsniper 0]

Since right now its not possible to open the texture with existing TexView, it would be great if maybe BIS could get us a template. ;)

Here's all the faces from characters.pbo in JPG format

Holy...... that scared the hell out of me, one big eye.

Wipman time for your new sticky buddy:yay:

If you had a custom face in Arma 1 just use the same jpg file and move / copy it into your Arma2 directory in the mydocuments folder. Thats what I did and it works perfectly, if you see a soldier with a St Georges cross on his face then its more than likely me! ;)

Hehe, indeed, thats meme material...

Someone make a motivation poster with something like "BIS facetextures are watching you fap" ^^

But seriously, thanks Kegetys for the faces these sure will come handy, god now i just hope BIS fixed the annoying problem ArmA had when you used custom faces as .jpg ona ATI card... they were totally pale, nearly white.

thats a good selection, will the player be able to customize the clothing or gear to an extent. such as headwear, camo,

Great stuff Kegetys!

I'd had a go just with the basic add "face.jpg" to the profile folder and it worked OK...

I also tried my little "face pack" I'd made for arma1 - just a few faces anna config in a .pbo to make my selection of friends faces easier to use... that WASN'T working - maybe a config change... I'll look into that...

But this is traditionally Wipman Territory !!

Wip! lets c ya !!!! :D

Do the soldier models have XML text selections like the old ArmA1 5TonTruck did? That would be a big improvement.

A wild guess... ATI user?

Then i can tell you you wont have much fun with custom faces in ArmA because that problem is there since ArmA1 and when i switched to my ATI back then i first saw this... since then i have it too, in ArmA2 its also there so i guess it will never be fixed.

Back then many were suggesting that its a problem with the ATI drivers but meh, so many drivers and that lil detail isnt more a prob with the games code?

Im finding my ATI custom face is slightly darker, but the hands are still pale:(

not really, i use a geforce 9600GT, core 2 duo e7200 etc, no ATI

i had no problem with this face in arma 1...

what can it be ???

help !

[Shadow NX 1]

Weird because the pale face problem started for me when i switched my old 7800GTX for a HD4870 and if i remember right few months ago someoen ina discussion said its a known probs on ATIs, hmmm... odd.

[rufflesgnr 10]

yeah ! thanks anyway !!

who do you think may help me ???

SO, my friend tested out in his game and got the same problem, i tried putting the mask in 5 different templates already.. so i guess its a problem in the game then ???

Could someone please make some step-by-step instructions on how to make a face with your own pictures(your own face/head)? That would be so greatly appreciated. I have been wanting to do this since Arma 1 but never got to it because I couldn't figure out how to plaster my face onto the template.

I have seen many many threads about "custom faces" but they never exactly tell you how to do the procedure. Anyone up for it?

[TAW_RiEvEr 10]

I third these motions.

Option to disable downloading custom media. Also option to disable AI voice without pbo or messing with audio levels.

I heartily approve of this message - sign me up!

does seem odd that black seems to be rendered as a reddy brown on the face.jpg... except black hair comes out as black. maybe its something to do with how light interacts with the skin portions of the face? maybe this part of the model has a different material property to the other non-skin sections.

[Raznor09 10]

id be careful with custom face textures, last night a guy was kicked automatically and the reason said custom face textures

I have the same problem as rufflesgnr and I am not alone in my team. I have a GTX260 and a friend who has the same problem a 9800GT in SLI.

My face gave it custom

How can we improve it?

Because there is still ugly.

Visit kegetys website, and download his PAA plugin - install the plugin to your photshop directory/plugins now open your face.jpg and save as PAA. That should fix it for ATI users - it did for me :)
