colekern 1364 Posted August 27, 2012 Does one know where I can find a re-skin or do you know of a way to open the game file's so I can make a re-skin of the PMC characters? The low quality textures annoy me. And no, I'm not gonna spend ten bucks on a prettier character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gizm0 96 Posted August 27, 2012 why and why not just buy the high-res skin? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After all, why not just recolor/reskin ghillie suits to an obnoxious bright orange? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colekern 1364 Posted August 27, 2012 why and why not just buy the high-res skin?Dude. It's freakin' $10 to make my character prettier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gizm0 96 Posted August 27, 2012 Dude. It's freakin' $10 to make my character prettier.dude the texture is part of the dlc, along with SUVs and a flying can with machine guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frogg 1 Posted August 27, 2012 Dude. It's freakin' $10 to make my character prettier.Which is less than 20mins work here... or barely 2 cups of coffee. Is $10 really that valuable to you?Plus the PMC campaign is pretty damn goood (and can be played coop). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scotto 3 Posted August 27, 2012 Anyone know how people are running around with custom faces and haircolours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gywidion@msn.com 80 Posted August 27, 2012 You can find them on the web, google for em. The problem is most servers will kick you for them.This is more of a security reason than anything else, it is a filter set on the server, or so i hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatfieldcw 184 Posted August 27, 2012 Many faces can be selected in your profile. The faces aren't outrageous, unless you could the WIlliam Wallace paint one, but you can get a nice mustache or a pair of shades to keep you feeling special. No file substitutions, no BE woes, just an option in your player profile, accessible from the main menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colekern 1364 Posted August 27, 2012 Actually, I only played Arma 2 once, and... I really didn't like it. I'd rather spend my money on the standalone or pre-ordering Borderlands 2.Also, someone asked why I wanted to make my character look better. My reason is the same reason there are 12,594 (on gamebanana, at least.) re-skins of weapons and characters for CSS. People want their game to look good.

colekern 1364 Posted August 27, 2012 Just one question: How good is the PMC campaign? In the normal Arma 2, I just kinda died hilariously and laughed at the voice acting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangere 9 Posted August 27, 2012 Just one question: How good is the PMC campaign? In the normal Arma 2, I just kinda died hilariously and laughed at the voice acting.No One really buys Arma just for official campaign, there's much more. There's user made missions, campaigns, singleplayer mods, multiplayer mods, multiplayer missions, editor.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colekern 1364 Posted August 27, 2012 wait banning custom skins is a security related? could you please send me a PM explaining the issue.The main reason is because If I can re-skin my characters face, why not just re-skin the ghillie suit to a bright orange? To put it simply, I could cheat. Easily. Which by the way, was never my intention. I didn't realize there were security issues until I posted this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatfieldcw 184 Posted August 27, 2012 Yep, reskins can be used to cheat. Remember back when everyone manually editted the Quake 3 Arena video settings to way, way below the minimum? It turned the maps into something out of Tron, with uniform ambient lighting and bright primary colors for all skins. You think you're a red solder in a dark shadow under an orange staircase, but I just see a big blue mannequin sitting still under a white polygon. Enjoy my hypervelocity railgun slug.
