Akatsuki Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Is it possible to add custom portraits in career mode? Would be a nice mod. 1
Feathered_IV Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I've had a look, but the .png image files in swf.gtp\il2\characterphoto are encrypted and cannot be opened. This effectively prevents any mods of the pilot photos being made at this stage except for the crudest and most time consuming trial and error. 1
Mitthrawnuruodo Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 The portraits also seem to be generated from multiple pieces (hair, background, etc.) Even if we were to figure out the .png parameters, it would not be possible to simply add a new portrait. 1
Feathered_IV Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 I was wondering about that, and thought it might be possible the make all the hair and eye png's as transparent images so they no longer show. Then use the background-only pngs for the new photographic portraits. Hopefully there will be a way to improve them. The current portraits remind me of this rather infamous fresco restoration. 4 1

=gRiJ=Roman- Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Why do the pictures were made that way? Why not just use real historical pictures like in ROF? 1
Feathered_IV Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Perhaps using portraits of real people without permission of either the individuals themselves or their next of kin is no longer an option.

Separating heads and faces to make many combinations is a very smart idea. The implementation is a bit harder though, and the proportions and placement of the faces doesnt always turn out very well.

Jason_Williams Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Our pilot career faces are a proprietary process. I hope in the future you can add yours if you want, but allowing them for every pilot probably won't happen, at least not any time soon. Jason 1

Jason It would be great if we could personalize it by uploading with our own picture or even have a way to mix a historical picture with one of our ugly face ... but probably .... this is asking too much. 1
=gRiJ=Roman- Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 I have created a couple of pictures, unfortunately I prefer not to post them in public. It looks very good in the game ....
Tom25briklebritt Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Changing pics and names would be great. I am missing the number of "Staffel" in career mode too. 2

I'd be perfectly happy if i could only change my pilot picture, i'm not asking more.

seafireliv Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) I think the system they`ve used for a variety of random faces is an EXCELLENT idea. We really don`t need the actual faces of pilot`s in history since the sim itself is dynamic meaning they would be involved in stuff (like dying) which didn`t happen or happens at the wrong time. Better to have it with random guys that appear. Anyway, it`s way more imaginative and immersive for me - And realistic. However, I really hope they include a separate system to allow the Player to put in his own face. Edited March 27, 2018 by seafireliv
