Use player body with different cyberface

Fri Oct 20, 2017 4:12 pm

Hi guys,

sorry for asking so many questions, I figured out many things now, i've been studying (LOL) so I will try not to be annoying anymore.

I only got one big question. When I change the cyberface ID of a player, it changes his full body. So if 2K made my player thin, there is no way i could change it.

I tried with blender, but had a weird result, so i really don't know what to do.

Is there any way to simply edit players body attributes with some editor (wingspan etc)?
Is there a way to use, for example, Lebron James body, but changing his cyberface into another player?

Thanks

No, there is no simple way. Tge only way is blender or editing the appearance file.

Ok i extracted and opened the appearance_info.RDAT from the PNG file.

I opened with notepad and that's what it says :

Ü {
"skin color": 2,
"body type": "AVERAGE",
"gender": "MALE",
"pitHair": "brown",
"body normal": "AVG",
"muscle type": "NORMAL",
"iris size": "REGULAR",
"iris color": "BROWN",
"eye white": 0,
"RIGVERSION": "2"
}


Now what I did was change one of the values (skin color from 2 to 1) and put the new file into the PNG archive. Then move the PNG into the modded folder, and modify a player changing the cyberface ID number.
Sadly, when I do it, the game crashes.

I also opened Lebron appearance_info.RDAT file. I thought that using Lebron's appearance file and import it into the other player PNG will give him the same body as lebron. But again, the game crashes

What am i doing wrong?

This is interesting to explain for all the people that want to change player's body to look like another player's

I noticed something interesting:

I opened 3 different appearance_info.RDAT for 3 different players : Lebron (png extracted from the game), Patric Young (game) and Jabari Parker (created).

the three files start with a different letter or symbol : Lebron with %, Young with U, Parker with an S.
