character skin change

[.Ender. 42]

i dont know if a lot of peole had noticed that you can actually modify the skin of your character in DayZ, but I am able to change the face/facial hair/glasses of the character. You can select from between about 30+ skins, black, white, or even some guys with muslim look (long beards/hair).

I went into Arma II OA and in the setup menu I could modify my character. I didnt think it would matter, but in my game when viewing the character, I can see the skin I chose. So apparently for mine for some reason I can retain that look in DayZ.

If this is old news, my bad :) But I have been told and heard people mention that it cant be changed and is completely random.

I'm sure a lot of people don't know about this, I found out only a month or so ago. Now I'm a zombie lol

haha..I had contemplated messing with people and using one of the two zombie skins lol...would be funny if you could make a zombie think you were a zombie with that skin lol. Now that gives me an idea for an option for DayZ...what if you could use a 'zombie suit' that makes the ingame AI think you're one of them? You could sneak around and collect things as long as you didnt run or anything and not get caught. Of course, you risk a player capping you thinking you were a zombie lol.

As a fun sidenote, you can give yourself camo paint if you're willing to go into your save file in notepad.

Can this modification get you banned?

[.Ender. 42]

that was my next Q. Because as far as the cheat system goes, I though modifying a file of any kind would be a client side modification which is unauthorized. I dont know what they scan for though.

But I have heard you can get camo in game, do you have to kill a zombie-military AI player or do you just find these on military installations?

There is a camo suit if that is what you mean, just like the ghillie it can be found in game. I also heard you can change your face to camo, I also wonder how to do that and what the negative points are due to getting banned from some servers.

Something must have gotten lost in translation then. The Face and ect can be changed in your profile. The CLOTHES that you start out with (aka skins) are randomly determined.

some questions are just too dumb to answer

You can also download and use custom faces. I've seen the braveheart face, deadpool and Jason. It's fairly easy to do, however certain servers do not allow custom faces.

[magicool 115]

yea but u just get kicked off with a message that says like it's not allowed to use modified files on it

Don't be so cocky,will you?I have a hero skin which I gained by killing bandits and I changed my face to one with camo as well.Been that way for 2 weeks now on an official Chernarus server.No,you don't and won't get banned for that because it's not something BE and Gotcha Anti-hack systems look for.Apart from that,it's something that's contained in your save file so,it doesn't tamper with the scripting of the game(on contrary,the body skin tampers with the general scripting which WILL get you banned globally)and also it's a feature that came in with Operation Arrowhead which DayZ uses.Should it have been a feature of the original Arma II,no matter the folder source,you would have been banned!.
