i've noticed that some players don't have their own chest texture, maybe they are those who don't tattoos or any other body features. is it possible to add one chest texture for a player?

Thanx for your answer.
i dig the subject. New textures are in DX10 format.
I've also found a plugin for paint .net, so i can open the files but my textures dont appear ingame
So i'm not sure about the correct values of the save format.

i use this plugin for paint.net link
extract logo.dds.... rename to logo.dds2... open in paint.net.... save as logo.dds... import into game.
just open it in the new dds format, then save it as the old dds, then edit the old dds format and put the old dds format back into iff/game
then i do my editing with gimp and pint.net
using the old dds works for every new bc7 dds. it loads just fine.

thanx, i'll try

Is anyone currently working on a cheat table like last year's? It would be really awesome, especially if we could find a vc method as well like last year which was the "change your in game stats to get vc" thing. I'm talking about a cheat table like Veryan's, you should be able to find it if you don't know what I'm talking about. If someone can work on something like this or is currently working on it but just needs time, please let me know (if there is a cheat table like this coming up soon or later) thank you very much!

all of a sudden my cheat engine isnt working whats goin on?????? can someone help

Error:[string "--TRAINERGENERATORSTART--
..."]:26: attempt to index a nil value (global 'memrec2_hotkey0')
Error:[string "--TRAINERGENERATORSTART--
..."]:16: attempt to index a nil value (global 'CETrainer') does this have anythingto do with it ? but like i said all was fine the it just stop working

use the exe file from patch 1.04

Does anyone know how to fix this kind of eye glitches?

If that's just the product of resizing his head, follow these instructions to avoid those glitches:

There are steps more adequate than some of the ones described above when reducing the size of heads.

The most important one is to keep the pivot point of the whole selection in the middle of the eyeShape vertex group so you' re scaling the neck/head towards the eyes. The reason for that is that moving the eyeballs even the slightest will cause animation glitches. With the pivot point set to the middle of the whole head/neck, the eyes may not completely clip through the player's face when doing just a small scaling process (like the .95 mentioned), but it will still mess up a lot of the facial expressions. Also, at least most big man who have big heads in the game require a larger scaling ratio(some of the tallest ones probably closer to .8), and, in those cases, the eyes would often pop out of the sockets.

To set the pivot point to the middle of the eyes, just select them before anything else, press SHIFT + S and select "cursor to selected". Afterwards, just change the pivot point, in the second box after the mode selection box, to "3D Cursor". To ensure that the eyes will move even less out of their original position when scaling, I'd also recommend enabling proportional editing before scaling the selection. To do that, when you press S to use the scale function, immediately press enter to get to the scaling options before resizing anything. Scroll down through the "Resize" bar in the bottom left corner of the screen and change Proportional Editing to "Enabled". Now, hold left click to the left of the value in the X axis until the Z axis or vice versa and then release it so you can select and scale all of them at the same time. This method of scaling also doesn't require any smoothing or fixing at all. The neck might look a bit weird when performing certain animations, but it's not very noticeable and that's basically the tradeoff of keeping the eye animations and face expressions as intact as possible.

However, if you can't undo whatever generated those glitches, you'll probably have to start your work on the model all over.

I mean its 5 hours of work i cant let it go waste... There has to be some way like disabling eye animations or something

I guess your best bet to avoid losing your work is to load the original model alongside the modified one in blender, lock the pivot point to the middle of the eyes of the original model, as mentioned in the quote in my post above, and then try to revert the scaling you did on the modified model. You'd still have to make manual adjustments and I doubt that it would be possible to completely prevent the eyes from popping out. But maybe the issue would be minimal if you can manage to get the eyes as close as possible to their original size and position.

Also, I don't think it's possible to disable eye animations exclusively(or at all), as they're tied to the remaining facial animations through the .mathnodes file. With that in mind, maybe you could import the .mathnodes file from a model that has similar eye size/position. It won't crash or turn the player invisible if you change the file name appropriately in the hihead.SCENE file, but I have no idea how glitch-free that move can be.

send me the file I can try to fix the eyes for you. I think I know what the issue is but only way to know for sure is to see the file.

It looks like you may have saved the model while in edit mode, which does not save your changes outside of blender.
