how to view new rifleman in the game

[hominus6 0]

hi all,

first of all i would like to mention that i am new to the modding world but i am determined to learn because i just love this game and the community here seems to be very helpful just what i need... I have just followed the "modding your own face tutorial" and it has been great fun ... but how can i view what i have just created in the game itself. I already have the atr file created ... thx in advance

Since the normal characters are chosen by random(names and faces vary) u will have to make a specialist wearing ur face.

To not overwrite original files create a new mod-folder and include a ModsCont.txt . Just copy one over from another mod and edit.

Place ur atr in yourmod/actor/hero and ur rsb`s in yourmod/character/allied .

The atr needs to carry the name of a specialist u already have unlocked but u can edit the characters name in the atr.

Just activate ur mod, select ur specialist and enjoy )

Specialists rsb`s have other face proportions than normal models.

So if u took a specialists chr but a normal man`s face as template ur face will look distorted.

It has nothing to do with filling a specialist slot with ur model; if u took a normal characters chr and face everything should be fine.

right, really sorry but ... here i am again- My problem is "To not overwrite original files create a new mod-folder and include a ModsCont.txt . Just copy one over from another mod and edit" What i have done is just copy the mp2 (Island Thunder)folder renaming it and followed the steps by placing the atr and rsbs files on their respective folders but when i run ghost recon when i go to activate my mod i have two Island Thunders? please help

open the new folders modscont.txt with notepad, and change the name of the mod from island thunder to what ever you want it to be. dont forget to unlock the file before editing it

cheers......

you may need to re name your face .rsb's to be the same as the original buss gordon one's. don't know for sure but worth a try
