Can we use our own Face.jpg?

[Richie72]

Has anyone managed to use the same custom Face.jpg as used in Arma2? I tried my A2 face but IronFront said it couldn't be loaded.

I'm not sure about faces. I checked the download folder and see that someone had custom sounds and custom squad logo. Are you sure you have the correct settings?

Hello there,

the file must be in paa format not jpg anymore.

but be aware of the huuuge file sizes paa conversion can sometimes cause.

Also some of the popular servers are kicking for faces greater than 0kb. [29th] for eg.

Thanks for your replies, I'll try and convert it to .paa I know some servers don't allow them but I'll give it a shot. Cheers, maybe see you in 1944.

How do I convert my face to .paa? I've edited the .jpg part and it's saved as a .paa but the game still doesn't recognise it. My free picture editor, GIMP, doesn't have .paa as an acceptable extension.

Thanks Mr Burns, that's worked. Now to find a server that a) will allow custom faces and b) are running version 1.61 not 1.60 !!!!

I tried using the .paa it worked, I got my Adolf stash but I can't seem to get the eyes right, they always have some sort of Orange eye in front of it so basically all my eyes go orange ._. Don't know why :P
