Question about assigning faces

[Sion]

Is it possible to assign faces to created players, ie. if i create myself and want to use a CF for him, how would I go about it?

or is there a method of adding a new player to the database, and if so how is this possible?

thanks

Create your player in-game. Two dbf lines will be created for him. One in players.dbf and one in appearance.dbf. They should both be the last lines in each file. Get a headshape and a cyberface for your player, and rename them using the first two letters of your first name and the first five letters of your last name. If your last name is shorter than 5 letters, use underscores until you have 5 characters used for the last name. This is the PLAYERPKG or player package in the players.dbf file.

I.E.

Yao
Ming <-less then 5 letters

yaming_.fsh <- cyberface name.

In the players.dbf file, change your PLAYERPKG to match your cyberface filename, without the extension or decimal/period. Change the field ISCREATED to False.

In the appearance.dbf file, change the FACEID of your player to -1. In case you can't find your player or want to edit someone else who is already in the game, the APPEARID is the same as the PLAYERID from the players.dbf file.

Thanks mate thats great news, for arms and legs, would it be "*****_arm_tat.fsh" and "*****_leg_tat.fsh"?


now here is another, tell me that there is another editing program than o-edit for the model, as im now using vista and it is not compatible

Thanks again

Yes the tattoo naming format you typed is correct.

Well, there is a program called eboedit 0.2 beta which you can get here. I have no idea whether it works in Vista. It can edit courts and some headshapes. We can't edit models, currently.

Sming

jasming_.fsh

Because "Sming" has 5 letters. The player package is 7 characters. EA's naming scheme uses the first two letters of the first name and the first five letters of the last name. If the player's last name is shorter then 5 letters, i.e. Rudy Gay, then underscores are used to fill the rest of the characters(rugay__).It really doesn't matter what the player package is, it could be 1234567.fsh, but as long as the player who uses 1234567.fsh has the matching PLAYERPKG of 1234567 in the dbf file, then the game will look for that fsh in order to apply the cyberface file.
