Facerig! Good News! Bad News!
11 years ago
General
So if you've you seen my recent twitter, FA, and DA post, I've learned how to make and import custom props into facerig. That is indeed good news. In addition, I've made a script that makes importing custom props and avatars a little easier- not fully automatic but easier none the less so that's good'er news.
Now for the bad and again, Facerig is Beta and as I always say "Beta is Beta". There is a problem with Facerig's LAU scripts where it can't import textures properly if its installed in a path with a space in it. As most of us know, programs like Steam prefers to install to the default: Program[space]Files[space](x86).
So that already crushes the hopes of being able to share custom props with others. But what about just copying/moving Face into a different directory? Sorry, when moving facerig to another directory, the communitydataprocessing.bat script will not adapt to the path it was moved to and it will start pitching a fit about not finding files in its own frickin directory. To make this work myself, I had to move steam and all its apps in the C:\games folder, nuke the facerig folder from the steamapps directory and reinstall facerig into the new directory.
In a nutshell, you can't properly import custom props or content if you install steam/facerig in its preferred default directory of C:\program files\
It was mentioned in forums that Holotec is improvising the process as again, its Beta. Hopefully we'll see a turn around soon.

Ive updated the install program. If you like to help test. Its in the resources on facerig.us
I figure, to do the Beach Bears, I'm going to need a ball cap, glasses, hair, a vest, a u-neck sleeveless t-shirt, and a bomber jacket.
