New to the forum... Help creating my own Cyberface?

[Jace1]

Sup peoples!
I'm a n00bie, so any help is greatly appreciated.
I was looking at a few of the post's throughout the board, and
found that y'all have some skills when it comes to face / shoe / jersey
making for Live 2k3.
I wanna get my face in the mix, but I have no idea how to modify my
created player, or how to even access it outside of the game.
Any help is greatly appreciated... Even if it's just the software
recomendations, or a few pointers. I'll eat it up!
Thanks again in advance!

This thread might be of some use:

Some links to tutorials and some other information.

[Jace1]

Rigth on... Good lookin' out.
I'll go check it out now, but in the meantime, if anybody knows
any other info, shoot it over. THANKS!

Ok... I followed the tutorial to edit & create my own .bmp images:
I used the Mark Madsen .viv (Cause we have the same skin tone).
And I created the 5 .bmp images I need for the cyberface...
Well, the tutorial only tells you how to edit & change the existing players
faces... not a player that I've created myself. So how do I designate these
.bmp images that I've created with my face to point to my player:
JaBrown (Jason Brown) ?

Any helpers out there?

That might be of some use as well.

Still no luck...
Here's where I'm stuck:

I've created my own .bmp files from the Mark Madsen .bmp's that I
extracted from mamadse.fsh file.
The tutorial states I need to then drag the index.fsh into the fshtool, to
create the final .fsh file, right?
Well, when I do so... it creates a mamadse.fsh file, and not a jabrown.fsh
file.
I have the artwork ready to go, but have no clue how to get it back into
format for the game to recognize, and place into my created player.

I'm hella confused, but full'a patience. So please, help a guy out

Wish I could help you out more, but I'm not all that knowledgable when it comes to cyberface patches...hopefully one of the experienced cyberface patchmakers can give you some pointers.

Well first thing you have to do is rename the mamadse.fsh to jabrown.fsh. Just right-click and rename. Then using a dbf editor, go to your saves folder, then to the players and look for your created player. Then go to the column playerpkg and replace whatever is in there to jabrown. Then go to the iscreated column and put in there false.

if you do everything in there right, then this is how you'll look in the game.



Hope that helps.

I figured it was something simple, like renaming the file...
But I wasn't sure if renaming messed something up.
I'll give it a whirl... thanks for the help my man.
*You too Andrew!

one question.. whats wrng w/ his eyes??

[Jace1]

True... when I finally got it working, when the cat blinks, his eyes duplicate.
My dood's got 4 eyes!

[Jace1]

Ah, I found out why.
The face template i used, had the eyes placed slightly higher than mine.
So I re-positioned the eyes on my bmp's that I made, and it turned out fine.

Thanks peeps

[Nick]

Nice work!

Not bad for a beginner...in fact...it's good!

You know what you should do... Try selecting around the pinkish areas...(mouth and nose area) and change the colour to be more like the cheeks by making the hue about 3/4 higher...maybe. mess around with it and see if you can get it to be the same colour as the cheeks.

first of all i didn't made those. I just put those in madsen's cyberface because he said he used it as template. So don't ask me what's wrong with it, i'm just trying to help the guy.

[Jace1]

Damn, fiesty! Hahaha... yeah, I didn't make the 4 eyed one.
But yes, he was just trying to help a n00bie out. That's all.
I appreciate all the 411... thanks fellas / ladies.

please don't use the word pathetic coz you probably don't know the meaning of the word. Learn some english first. . And I'm not taking it seriously. You just how much you made me laugh with each action you do esp. when you're saying something about my posts. Have a life.

[MJ_realm]

Really? Me too, especially with your patches.

[Nick]

That's a whole lotta laughy icons...

[white_roze]

Really? Me too, especially with your patches.

well forgive if i'm not as good as you. But at least i'm not a "fame seeker" like you. . Poor guy, really loves praises. haha

[MJ_realm]

Fame Seeker? Haha, your imagination is way beyond your knowledge. If I do seek, I should have released all the patches I've done for my own game. Praises are good. But I don't take it too much. Besides, I have much work to do in my school and preparing and practicing for our team in the upcoming league. Just helping others. Not what your freak mind do think.
