Adding more avatars
Ever want to add your own country? want to add your own avatars to the stock list and not overwrite existing?
i figured this out when adding JO avatars to DFX for the Special Ops mod ive been working on.
you will need to modify several files, game.bin, avatars.def and whatever player 3di you are working on. Im using the bin2txt and txt2bin tools to
make browsing through the bin file simpler.
game.bin and avatar.def are the most important to add new.
in game.bin find '[Avatars]'
stock avatar name:
| Code: | AV_DIV_DELTAFORCE = "Delta Force"; |
new avatar name:
| Code: | AV_DIV_DELTAFORCE1 = "Delta Force 1"; |
for countries (same area as the character name just further down):
stock country name:
| Code: | AV_NAT_UNITEDSTATES = "United States"; |
new country name:
| Code: | AV_NAT_UNITEDSTATES2 = "United States"; |
Add the new avatar and new country info to the bin file. best to add right under stock for easy referance.
Now for Avatars.def:
this is a bit more complicated to do, and there seems to be a limit on how many avatars you can add to a country, and how many countries you can have
in a secton of the avatars.def. everything needs to be in an order, so for nationalities we start with
| Code: | nationality N00 AV_NAT_UNITEDSTATES |
next is
| Code: | nationality N01 AV_NAT_UNITEDSTATES2 |
Notice N00 is N01 fo second? becomes N02 for third and so on....
for the avatars:
| Code: | division D00 AV_DIV_SEAL skipdemo
{
combo 001 JO_HEAD_SEAL JO_BODY_SEAL_1 JO_ARMS_US_1
} |
next is
| Code: | division D01 AV_DIV_SEAL2 skipdemo
{
combo 001 JO_HEAD_SEAL_CAMO_1 JO_BODY_SEAL_1 JO_ARMS_US_1
} |
like the N00, this one is D00 and does the same way. same for combo, which i deleted for my mod since DFX doesnt let you browse them and i wanted them
available. but it works for JO too.
Limits i have found so far are 7 nationalities per section and 16 avatars per nationality. sections are divided by the definitions for the parts of
the avatars.
heres a snippet from my avatars.def to show an example of limited:
| Code: | nationality N00 AV_NAT_UNITEDSTATES

Now for defining the avatar? there are 3 parts to this, and all three will be above the section where the avatar is listed.
for this one
| Code: | division D00 AV_DIV_SEAL skipdemo
{
combo 001 JO_HEAD_SEAL JO_BODY_SEAL_1 JO_ARMS_US_1
} |
you need to add head body and arms.
heres an example of each:
| Code: | define head JO_HEAD_SEAL
{
name AV_BOONIEHAT
graphic Boonie.3di
camo 0 0 0
voice 1
sex m
} |
| Code: |
define body JO_BODY_SEAL_1
{
name AV_WOODLANDBDU
graphic JntOpsB1.3di
camo 0 0 0
} |
| Code: | define arms JO_ARMS_US_1
{
name "US Camo -Black Gloves"
graphic ArmsG.3di
camo 0 0 0
} |
rename the 3di to the same as you named the modded one, and rename the defnition in both the define and the new character. if you did everything
correct you will have a new nationality and new avatars available!
