This is a short tutorial about how to make faces in rugby 08. I've done my best to explain but if you think things need to be added say it !
The faces are .big files, they're located in the main folder of Rugby 08 and in "EA SPORTS(TM) Rugby 08\Data\data.gob . They contain to zipped files : "textures.fsh" which is the texture of the face and "model.o" which is the 3D head of the player
you will need some software :
BigGui to extract the files contained in the .big and .gob files.
Oedit to edit the 3D files
Fshed to convert the texture files in a format that you can modify with a graphic editor
PhotoShop or Gimp to edit the texture
Woosaah's rugamisc editor to integrate the face in rugby 08
Make a copy of a .big face file (in this tutorial we'll name it face1.big) and extract the textures.fsh and model.o files
First you need to create the texture :
open one of these base faces in Photoshop or Gimp and modify it to obtain the face that of the player (use a photo of the player you want to create). I've found a video from a French guy that can help you with that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPVkCq_V4HA&feature=player_embedded#at=85
when it's done open the textures.fsh file you've extracted from "face1.big", then replace it by importing the texture you've created.
Then with Oedit you must modify the model.o file that is in the .big face file you've copied. (I can't help you on how to use Oedit because it doesn't work on my computer)
Now you need to open "face1.big" and import the new textures.fsh and model.o you've made.
Add your new face in rugby08 :
open "faces.xml" in "Woosaah Ruggby 08 Editor" it contains the faces id and name of the player and file name
choose one without face id and without a player name like this one :
<Face ID="">
<Name></Name>
<FileName>1af29ee5b748a094e919c4fba8fd3692.big</FileName>
</Face>
and set a face id which is not used and put the name of the player :
<Face ID="41117">
<Name>XXXXX</Name>
<FileName>1af29ee5b748a094e919c4fba8fd3692.big</FileName>
</Face>
rename "face1.big" (the new face) with the the filename (without ".big" because it's added automatically).
open Woosaah and modify the face id number of the player you want to assign the new face to.
and post the new face on therugbyforum
