Face Gen question

Captain Jerk · 08-15-2008, 11:06 PM

I'm trying to set up a negro league with fictional players. I already have all the unis and hats so things are looking good so far. When it comes to the face gen aspect of it, is there an easier way of making all the players african american instead of going through each individual player and changing the skin color one player at a time? Please tell me there is....I'm getting carpal tunnel!!! Thanks.

I just had to deal with this. What you want to do is go to the database folder, and go to the ethnicity.txt. In there, you want to find the US entry (or whatever county your players are from). The five number values after that are the distribution of elasticities in a country. Change it to 1000,0,0,0,0

The go back into your game, go to the game setup page, go to the very bottom and hit "Reload ethnicity and names database". From there on out, all players will be created African American. You might have to dump the leagues rosters, delete everyone and create all new players to get a full homogeneous universe.

You could also say all the "white" players are octoroons.
