Is it possible to modify the Face creation system and add more faces to the system? Or change existing one’s such as, security guard faces scientists, soldiers, or even swapping faces?
scripts\character_manifext.txt
Replace all the scientists faces with variations of Sloth.
Are you 100% sure that theory of yours is correct?
it’s not a theory, you can do anything you want with that text file
I was just being silly because of the above post. Also can you put different face on other characters?
You can change the faces in the pool the game randomly selects from. So you can only edit the faces that are already in the game.
If you create new face profiles, you can use them in Hammer though, I believe.
think I’ll try to make a few modeled after the classic scientists,
So if I wanted to use a soldier face on a security guard I could just swap it with another one? Also Ramfirezoid that would be really cool!
What I recommend is opening the model you’re working on in modelviewer, then moving the flex sliders for the face and selecting your submodels and skins (remember to subtract 1 for use in the manifest) as wanted. You’ll have to eyeball where the sliders are, but it makes it easier when you can see roughly what you’re doing.
Don’t forget to use the [npc]_02 models for additional skins, as well!
What’s the easiest way to get them into the model viewer? Also I already made the Hecu medic look more like the other soldiers as well.
If you set the SDK up for BM using the method in this thread, the models will be in the humans folder. Alternatively you can probably copy the models over into HL2 or whatever, if you make sure to put them in the right folder structure.
Also, I found you can put expression data into the manifest too - e.g. I made all the vorts bare their teeth at me.
Omg it worked thank you!
How do you load the flex settings in face poser?
are people really this unfamiliar with one of the most common hispanic names on the planet
Oh sorry I suffer from extreme tmd and myofacial pain and don’t sleep very well at night. Anyway I’ve modified the face creation system to use every skin for each character, resulting in alot more random encounters with characters. I might upload my character manifest tomorrow.
Very well done!
Okay I’ve uploaded it to filesmelt feel free to try it out!
Could someone post a demo video?
Post some screenshots…
