Facepack Installed

[Andrew]

Just installed the new facepack.

So uh....the BLB color barrier hasn't been broken yet?

The facepack is a lot better now. Although its a bunch of honkies, it's a bit more realisitic than all the ones we had before.

Yeah, I agree. My only wishes now are that we'd see more black players, as well as some sort of system that would match up pictures and ages. I've got a few guys who are supposedly in their 30s but who don't look a day over 20.

I think part of the issue with the lack of diversity is that these are mostly college players, thus omitting the majority of latino players. I still have the original set of photos (almost 25,000) which contains more black and latino players. It's going to take some time to make my way through it however, eliminating photos we don't want. I think eventually the program will support other nationalities like it does with Japan.

As for age, unfortunately there's nothing we can do.

I found another option for facepacks. Version 1.0 of OOTP Facetool is being released today:

Here's an example of what the beta version did:

The picture quality is supposed to be greatly improved in 1.0 and also gives us the option to put logo's on the caps and uniforms it generates.

I like it because it adds a lot more diversity, and you can edit the diversity of each nation. (So if a player is from the Dominican it might make 75% of them black and 25% white, etc) It also will add facial hair to the players so they don't all look like high schoolers.

Thoughts?

I say let's try it.

I agree. I've been looking for a reason to make Millers unis for awhile now.

I tested it out and it doesn't look great without custom uniforms and caps. If anybody is good with photoshop or gimp, you can edit the templates here:

It's pretty easy if you follow the read me. I'll start working on some uniforms but it's going to take awhile.

[Andrew]

Here's an example of what I could do in about 1/2 an hour. You can pretty much customize the uniforms any way you want using the template from my post above. I can then assign your uniform template to your team and this tool adds the faces. Those who are decent with photoshop, feel free to work on your own. Everyone else, can explain or post examples of what they want in here and i'll try to create them.

[Andrew]

The only problem I've seen so far is when players change teams. It updates the uniforms correctly but also changes their face. That isn't too big a deal to me though since I doubt I'll remember what players look like.

Here are the new Guides Uniforms:

Damn...so any idea how it would look if you tried it in MS Paint?

Yeah, I tried to go through that and I couldn't do anything with that in paint, but I did make a regular home uni in paint that you could convert to that player portrait. I'd appreciate it if you could do that.

I'll try it tomorrow. For those that don't have photoshop, try the Gimp. It's pretty much the same but is free. Here's the download link for windows: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html
