Author Topic: What does a face need?  (Read 828 times)

I created a BoRg face, and I put the Face_BoRg into my addons folder, but it doesn't show up in my game! I noticed the other face files have the following: 
  • Description.txt
  • RTB info.txt
  • namecheck.txt
Now, I added the namecheck and all,(except the RTB info because i don't know what the ID is and I don't know what the icon is.) But still, my face doesn't show in-game! Help please.

Come on, this topic doesn't bite!   

All you need is a thumbs folder. The larger picture in the .zip, and the 64x64 in the thumbs folder.

Here is a tutorial I made for someone else on another topic.

1. Make a .zip folder named Face_X where X is the name of the decal
2. Do what Regulith said, "Create an image that is a square with sides a power of 2. 256 is generally good. Make a 64x64 copy of it."
3. Create a folder entitled Thumbs
4. Place the larger image(s) (Not the 64x64 one(s)) inside the .zip folder
5. Place the 64x64 image inside the Thumbs folder, and then place the Thumbs folder inside the .zip folder

The 64x64 image will act as a thumbnail image of the lager image, so make sure they are named the same thing. Also, when packaging with Mac, it adds a bunch of files that will screw it up, so send it to someone with something other than Mac and knows how to package decals so they can get rid of all the unneeded files, like me. Making faces is the same as making decals only you name the .zip Face_X where X is the name of the face.

don't use an addon as a template, open up another face/decal.
