Has anyone come up with a way to stop the facial distortion that occurs when you try to use a female mesh? As far as I can tell, no one's posted a method. But chances are, I didn't search with the right keywords. Razz

Anyway, I found out how. Long story short, my sister wanted to mess around as Briar Rose. So, as I'm swapping meshes, dreading the facial scrunch, I remembered something. The "CreatureDef" entry. It had a sub-entry with something like "EExpressions" as it's title. It listed Fable guy's facial animations. So I deleted the list, and continued on with what I was doing. Sure enough. When I played (to test my theory) Briar had her normal face. No errors what so ever.

Here's what I did;

Replaced Fable guy's mesh and his eye mesh and scale, with that of Briar Rose.

Then I went into the Bones folder, and moved the hero bones set to a safe place. (there for, no bones will distort Briar's body)

Next, for realism, I replaced Fable guy's animations, sound and special effects with that of Briar. (by way of the appropriate entries located in CDefs)

I added Briar's sword, by placing the ID of the sword into the field located in the entry "Weapon 1"

Now, here's what I did to "fix" briar's face. Under CDefs, I scrolled down to "CCreatureDef" and followed the link. In the new window, I expanded the list, and selected "EExpressionType Array" and then proceeded to delete the entries, much like how you would go about removing scars and bruises in the "Skin Effects" array.

I then Applied my changes and ran Fable.

My friend Kane is trying it as I type, and will be placing it into a short video, to which I will post a link to, when it becomes available.

EDIT: Kane has sent me the link to the video, you can find it Here (click)

And I also have two images.

This is A picture That someone else posted awhile ago. As you can see. the Face is pretty warped.

It seems that, the facial animations used for the main character, interfere with the facial mesh of female (and some male) characters.

Swap the CAppearanceDef. And swap or remove the CSkeletonMorphDef.

Are you referring to me, Bluetooth? Because I know about the CappearenceDef entry. I just copied the ID over from Briar. As for the Skeleton, I just found it easier to remove the bone files themselves, then to edit or mess with the skeletal entries in the CHeroMorph entry.

Also, the CEntitySoundDef Entry should be replaced/swapped as well. I remember one time, I was using the Dreadwing's CAppearanceDef entry, and forgot to use their sound entry, so every step I took, would trigger the Berserk Growl. It was kind of funny. Smile

Can you put these changes into a fmp? 'Cause I don't know anything about modding Fable and I'm not having an easy time figuring out what to do.

He hasn't made it downloadable, because he's trying to fix the errors.

No, Seventh Machine hasn't been around for a while, so I doubt if this will be finished.

I got a question. Im trying to change the hero sounds. Like the grut he makes when you swing the weapon to Briars sounds. I changed CEnitySoundDef to the same one in her file 10534 - 1529 but it did not change the sounds.

Im I to change the cdefs in the creature_hero section or are they changed some where else?

Thanks

The application you use depends on personal preference but most people use Fraps.
