Any chance for being able to play as a girl?

[Lady Kyrah 1110]

This guy made a mod that adds a few lady soldiers, but more importantly i believe it add a female face to the selection that you can set to an infantry character.

Any chance that you could strike a deal with the guy or somehow merge it with DayZ so we can pick between guy and girl slot on server logon?

I have another lady friend who enjoys playing DayZ.

I'm sure she would appreciate a female body mod.

[Capital 5]

I have several female friends who have echoed your sentiments.

I also have it on good authority that Rocket's sister has been buggin' him about this, so hopefully it will make a later update or the official release. ;)

My Arma modding days are LONG gone, but if i recall, the HEAD of an arma model can be forced through the unit's initialisation field. And this mod basically add a set of new presets for mission makers, but the heads are fully compatible with all the other bodies.

It would "simply" be a matter of having in the slot selection screen, instead of "survivor", a bunch of "survivor(male)" and "survivor(female)" where the survivor(female) slots have an initialisation code that set the new face.

Of course... once the bandit issues are settled... and if there is nothing more pressing, because so far NO arma mod ever considered ladies under the guise that there is no girls in active duty in the US army.

I was wondering if I could maybe play as a little girl, too?

Unlikely for a few reasons:

1. That's a touchy subject that dwarf the "women should not be in combat" controversy by a billion at least.

2. Making a model.

3. An ocean of animations to make.

I think he was kidding

another example that can be tested in SP.

That second example looks absolutely horrendous.

Anyways, I am sure rocket wouldn't mind female models, but the problem is if they are able to use backpacks, otherwise people who use that model will be severely limited space wise. (only OA models can use backpacks+dlc models)

Oh yeah, and it would be kind of weird for all the male models to be PMC models, then suddenly all the females are dressed in military gear :V

[oktyabr 53]

LOL! I'm actually FOR female models in this game but no where near the top of the priority chart. Kick that realism thing up another notch.

[dallas 5195]

Long story, another game.

Guy makes a friend. Friend gets annoyingly clingy. Player tries to avoid new friend. Player tells new friend to leave him be. Players notice new friend hiding behind rocks and buildings, stalking him. Player puts new friend on ignore. Stranger whispers player, asks why you ignore your friend. Player tries to explain. Stranger says new player says you're his girlfriend. Player says I'm just playing a female avatar! Player is accused of deciving male players.

SWTOR forums: So, I made a friend! ...yay?

That sounds fucked up, and the guy was 33? Good thing when (if) there's female models in Day Z and a scenario like this unfolds you can just shoot people like that in the noodle and go on with your day.

[Leechman 8]

Wasn't there another thread in General about this?

I'm all for it, but let's fix and refine zombies and other balance mechanics first.

[rocket 16567]

Female models in ArmA2 have a special skeleton and therefore special animations.

They can't carry weapons and they would not be able to use the zombie animations currently in. The example posted is someones very hard work at changing one of the base models from the released source.

I'm keen on this concept but its complex, difficult, involves several months of work for at least one person.

Hello Rocket, yes the actual female models in arma are fucked up, and still are in take on helicopters, however this mod i linked in the opening post add only a set of interchangeable heads that go on all the regular soldier bodies with setIdentity

[Pomegranate 83]

I want to play as a 12 year old catgirl holding a two-ton sword, can I?

[finland 0]

I want to play as Val Kilmer, can I?

[Lady Kyrah 1110]

Using the mod i linked in the opening post ( http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12248 )

I was able to make this little post apocalyptic campfire story, simply using the heads provided in the mod and adding them through script to PMC bodies.

this setFace "Female_head4_helmet" for instance.

[oktyabr 53]

Nice catch!

[TechnoBanana 0]

Thing is though, it sounds perverted but if you just replace the heads then your are going to have women with really manly bodies... and male voices : S I mean it would be nice to have more models and maybe even the ability to customize what you look like by finding clothes and armour and shit.. but this is the arma 2 engine!

[Lady Kyrah 1110]

Voice can be arranged, there is a way with arma2 CO to get a voice identity for women. As for the bodies, yeah... it's not so much an issue with the regular soldier bodies because of the equipment bulk, but for some reason the PMC bodies are really buff, like they are wearing foam clothes or something, or that they are all built on Arnold Schwarzenegger's morphotype.

[mooncabbage 2]

I can't see the problem with someone creating a few female bodies for the male animations.

I wonder though, will anyone think twice before shooting someone in a female body? And are we going to wind up with a post-apocalyptic everquest, where the men are men, and so are the women, as we used to say.

If anything it will add some variety in player encounters.
