Thanks

Outstanding work friend , legitimately a hidden gem !

Hi Deathstruck, nice to see that people actually download my shitty mods!
As for the asians, I've run into a glitch from hell, where all heads start glowing - I couldn't find a solution and decided not to release them. The middle east pack had the same issue and was scrapped. The main problem however, is that I am now working full time, which is contraindicated to ArmA modding as I can not have both, a game engine and work f***ing me at the same time.
This being said, I think that someday I will get my s*** together and finally release something, but it is definitely not going to happen today, tomorrow or even this year. I do however thank you for your interest in my mod - you just made my day, soldier!

Hey there, so uuuh.. any news on the east asian pack? ArmA in general has a great lack of those. :)

Ok, i will tested, thanks

Not tested, but should be

compatible MP ?

Thank you,
I just took up modding for the first time since 2015, so I might add a couple more. Have fun with the Facepack!

Yay! More Diversrity! Thanks! Now I can stop having 8 white guys, 1 asian dude, and 1 black guy out of 10 lol. I play alot of Mods set in the future like Halo and in general just enjoy diverse looking humans to fit the theme I'm currently doing. Also for Warhammer 40K The Salamanders need black guys lol. So I appreciate it. Keep up the good work!

That was the idea behind the mod, but it is unfortunately not used in any mod I know.

How did I not find these?

Perfect if the faction in question is a francophone country!

Fair enough.

I googled 'em

How did you get morgan freemans face?

Unfortunately not. If I ever figure out how to, I will create a voice addon first thing. I have recording equipment and a shitload of semi-professional voice actors standing by, but last time I checked, there was no tutorial for that.

Looks good - does it have more suitable voices to go with them?

Touche

Also, did you say 'just'?

Well, the bad prequels then

excuse me?

Did, did you just call Star Wars episode I-III a sequel, DAFUQ DUDE, LIKE WHAT THE HELL.

Because it 'is' Morgan Freeman.

OMG!!!!!! The third guy looks like Morgan Freeman!!!!!

Thanks Rasta. I'm really happy that you like it.

Thanks, that's great! I have no idea about ArmA modding, however, so it's probably better if you do it. But you're right, work comes first, congratulations on your new job. Keep up the amazing work on both sides :)

hmm. I guess I could make a second optional addon that takes care of that. It could take a while however - I just got a new job and it takes up the majority of my time. I will come around to it eventually however. Besides, if you manage, you can make such a .pbo yourself. You have my permission. Just be so kind and mention me in the credits if you choose to do so.

Downloaded the dropbox file from the forums, now it works fine, great work! Just one request, would it be possible to add those faces to the NATO faction? It's always kinda bothered me that most US soldiers you meet are white (no racism intended, it's just weird)... Other than that, amazing addon, keep up the great work!

Sorry I just noticed that you mentioned the editor already. Have you tried disabling all other face-addons? Might be a conflict.

Hi Rasta,
I'm not sure why you have this problem. It works pretty fine at my end.
Have you tried x setface "ZIR_FACE_AFR_01" as a temporary solution?

I've been waiting/searching for an addon like this for ages, thank you so much for creating this. Just one question: How do I get the faces to show up ingame? They don't show up in the profile editor or the VR-Armory, and in the editor it always resets the character's face to some generic white dude (even on the African civilians), what am I doing wrong?

Good luck HUSH! If you need any help. just post here.

Thank you, ZiR. I will.

PLEASE READ THE NEXT FIVE COMMENTS AS ONE. (Steam only allows for max 1000 chars)

Hi Hush!
Basically yes, but I don't have much time on my hands right now, so if I choose to do anything ARMA-related now, it's gonna be pushin' my next addon. Until I'm able to give you a proper tutorial, I'll give you just a rough how-to-quick-and-dirty-version.
1.) Extract the original ArmA3 Face textures from Arma/Addons/Characters_f
2.) Use TexView to change their .paa format to .png (or .tga if you prefer)
3.) Edit the .png using Photoshop or GIMP by exchanging the actual face area with another one.
If you're unsure how to do that in Photoshop, until I find some time to give you a proper tutorial, just look it up via google. There are a couple of good tuts around. Just don't expect ArmA-related ones. Here's a good one from a kid on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLHWlAm0PiQ

4.) Once you have your new .png, use it to create _nohq and _smdi maps (also look that up on forums.bistudio.com .
5.)Convert your basic (_co), _nohq and _smdi maps from .png to .paa
6.) Create a config.cpp file. If you don't know how to do it, either check the bistudio-forums or stare intensively at my config.cpp (attached) until you see how I did it.
7.) Pack it using the AddonBuilder from the Arma-Tools.

In case this doesn't make it clear, I'm sorry - I know this is not the tutorial you expected, but I'm really busy with my new job and the exams that come with it, so this is all I can give you for now. I promise you however that you will find all the neccessary info to fill the gaps on the Arma forums. It's not always easy to wrap your head around texturing, configs and addon-making, but once you have passed the first initial week of frustration and trial-and-error, it becomes very very easy. Believe me when I say that it's most likely more easy for you to learn it by doing, than for me to explain.

On the other hand, if you are already familiar with Arma-modding, please disregard my statement. In this case just wath the tut from 3.) :

However, feel free to ask me anything if you get stuck. I'll try to find some time to help you.

Best Regards!

Can you make tutorial?

I'm creatin all kind of dudes right now, but the majority goes to my ZiRMOD packs for my custom campaign. I will release them as I finish them.
My immediate goal is more diversity for Asian/African/Arab/Iranian faces, so if you want your dude European/Caucasean it might take quite a while.

However, here is a link to a fellow Face-Man's work. Lots of beards, I'm tellin' ya.
