Ship NPCs Textures and Models, Democracy Officer and ect (not fuolly set up stuill missing files

[old arch]

Someone asked so here it is

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T4l0yZC7y872W9fRhXUUIZQ25X9QzNwW/view?usp=drive_link

I'm not familiar with the NPCs shaders so best I can do

[stuck turret]

YES! Thank you so much

[old arch]

I have the othe NPC heads aswell but kinda hard to put the textures together when the faces all look like this

they all kinda look the same

[stuck turret]

i can use default textrue (not shaders) and try improve it in substance

but you can send me all textures and head models maybe its possible to assemble it in photoshop

[leaden stratus]

YES

Uhhh why is his eye texture missing

[stuck turret]

i saw those textures in photoshop you have to make separate alpha mask. or export textures as tga
in default photoshop loads .png with transparency applied

• About diffuse texture
  RGB - Base color
  Alpha - Subsurface scattering

• About normal map.
  Red - Red channel of normal
  Green - Green channel of normal (You dont have to invert it)
  Blue - bump map or\and displace texture
  Alpha - AO

[stuck turret]

This is what you can do

You dont have to use bump texture, you can just connect normal map, but mixing both gives you more details

[leaden stratus]

but how do i fix the eyes missing texture

[stuck turret]

this is probably fault of author, he missed with pack of texture for it

you for now can only replace textures from other games (texture or ever eyeballs)

[old arch]

Did it not save right mb, I'll repost it, was messing with all the heads so it might've got lost

[old arch]

I can I have a couple dozen of em

[old arch]

I'll send you all the NPC models used and unused with what textures I've found over the years

in a minute uploading

[leaden stratus]

maybe you can make this a post about all the hd2 npcs

[old arch]

yeah I was gonna rename it when done to ship NPCs or something

after I match all the faces up

[stuck turret]

I think heads here are made that they can be used on any body model to have randomise effects

[old arch]

thats what they intended but scrapped

Was designed to have random generated NPC names and faces for immersion that the crew rotates between mission when your on ICE for god knows how long

but was a scrapped mid development

the NPC names on their subtitles will randomaly generate between missions and the DO has 3 different faces

but other than names and DO face it wasnt implemented further

[stuck turret]

I think skin tone color changes a bit in ship master because on my friend ship looks darker than on my ship

[old arch]

possibly there is a skin tone slider in-game for certain things

but it may be your friends brightness or reshade

[stuck turret]

No i mean i saw different tones by myself. When i was on his ship and on mine

[amber vale]

Put a gamma filter on the texture. Put Gamma 2.2 or .47. It achieves a similar effect to putting something as non-color like for normal textures. Sometimes it is nessary to put two of thems

that's how I got it looking like this

[stuck turret]

Showing gif instead of pictire with details xd

Also i mentioned before here that you can use alpha of diffuse texture as a mask to make it more "white" which also adds details like dirt etc where just gamma can remove some stuff which we dont see exactly on gif

I also remember that me and other people asked if you can share it but you ignored us :/

[amber vale]

I don't post assets sadly. I have monetization stuff relying on me to not post assets and I wouldn't mind getting permission, but I'd rather let sleeping dogs lie since I do a lot of copyright vs. copyright stuff.

On the other end of the spectrum shader node trees aren't Arrowheads lol. Let me write this BS tutorial about dealing with doubled meshes and then I'll send a picture of the entire shader.

[stuck turret]

doubled mesh what? why you need doubled one

[amber vale]

No, a CRAP TON of the models in the game either have multiple copies of the same mesh ontop of itself, displays ALL LODs on the base mesh or other junk.

For example

finding a screenshot

this

this is the flamethrower. the meshes are doubled

[stuck turret]

i never saw that in the game

[amber vale]

You can't see it because the game uses non-raytracing lighting system but Eevee does and Cycles does.

Probably also hase anti-z-fighting culling as well which means it doesn't appear in game but in blender causes messes

[stuck turret]

i mention about that. its from game i never saw stuf like that but i think this is just bug

[amber vale]

yeah 100% bug. That one specifically is the game rendering all LODS on base mesh.

If you export that armor rn it has that spare mesh.

ANYWAYS

two seconds and I'll send a complete screenshot of the Democracy Officer face

I'll also throw in my eye shader

First is the settings for textures second is the whole shader

better view of BSDF

likely inaccurate. I don't have shader material like jub or filediver

oh god uh normal complete

this is a short normal completer. It takes the normal data for some normals that use the Z channel for stuff like edge-wear or ambient oclusion

then completes it to fix issues

alright time for eye shader

actually here's the basic shader for the eyepatch. this is the same as like 99% of static materials. The middle one is the blue texture that has tool data

[stuck turret]

btw alpha of albedo not looks like specular and if yes then specular is inverted roughness

[amber vale]

yeah I'm familiar. Some of them have weird stuff where they swap it

[stuck turret]

this is how alpha looks on albedo
i think its mask for make skin more WHITE!

[amber vale]

Nope, that's a sub surface scatter

allows light to pass through

[stuck turret]

ohh yeah you have right

[amber vale]

how my shader's eyes appear

Big ass eye shader.

top section indepth

bottom secitons

Not the most masterfully done. I'm a dumbass in the shading math department, but it looks pretty good. If you have issues with textures remember color space and then gamma correction

gives a pretty good result

this is what the color of the face is like in game, but I gamma corrected it white because I thought it may have been the original intention before a glitch changed his skin tone

not all faces have gamma correction, but all face look pretty hq when done through an actual rendering negine. they are clearly facial scans lightly changes

Anyways tutorial time

[stuck turret]

i have that for now with simple set of nodes i just testing other stuff to maybe improve
(Dont look in his eyes becasue for now he dont have it... but no problem liberty guides him)

i have that

simple shader

for AO if you dont want to use it becasue for face i think its not need it
jsut turn black color into white or just connect gamma to base color

[amber vale]

That just affects the base color, putting it into the mix shader affect the entire thing as a fake shadow.

[stuck turret]

I know what AO do I just make that pic to help others

[stuck turret]

@amber vale can you share with alphamask for eyelash?

i have only normal map

[stuck turret]

behold! Female democracy officer 😄

the same texture on 3 different heads

[amber vale]

check the z channel

actually 0xaec8f354a546b2db

[leaden stratus]

where you get the eye textures and head model?

[amber vale]

use diver or file diver to export. hash names to find

[leaden stratus]

what are the ids?

(for the eye texture, ship master model and face texture, service tech model and face)

[amber vale]

omg bruh I told you look in hash names go "in:hash-name head" in the little search bar

that's the head

exporting with either will give you the textures

[leaden stratus]

like this? it aint workin

and some of the files shown in the images are not showing when i search them

[amber vale]

in the discord

[stuck turret]

I got from the guy here to sort face textures

[stuck turret]

Thank you

[old arch]

the Unofficial Helldivers 2 patches fixerd those months ago and more

[leaden stratus]

i have created my own eye via a gradient texture, and made this

[amber vale]

Yeah, I'm familiar. I think I was messaged by them about including a mod I made that fixed that.

But just got fixed in todays update funnily enough

Bug has been in the game since probably mid 2024? I can check, but now that it is fixed I'm happy

[stuck turret]

Nice then (that smile looks weird lol)
Eyebtexture in general is low quality one, also normal makes weird hole in the middle, better to use other textures from other games in my opinion

[ripe garnet]

link broken @old arch

[old arch]

Oh I updated it forgot to change it

[ripe garnet]

Gg

[old arch]

its updated now with most ship NPCs and Textures

Ship NPCs Textures and Models, Democracy Officer and ect (not fuolly set up stuill missing files

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T4l0yZC7y872W9fRhXUUIZQ25X9QzNwW/view?usp=drive_link

[leaden stratus]

still quite a few missing files

[old arch]

yeah it's what I found of the 8,000+ textures prolly spent a few hours looking

[stuck turret]

I can say i have some grouped heads textures but not all, also i think some of diffuse textures uses 2 or more different normal maps

[old arch]

Upon further experimenting all the female crew share the ship masters head

And face

Their septuplets

[stuck turret]

Hmm when i look on all shipmaster/captain characters on the ship then looks simmilar (specially when there js no male shipaster/captain uniform)
BUT
Do you remember female technican? That one which you could talk to? She had different face

[old arch]

Yes she did

But when I messed with ship master yesterday while giving her a Christmas hat I messed up and I noticed all the females got nuked

One in the command center guarding the door is 100% her twin for sure

[stuck turret]

Btw you can put any face texture on any head

Like here, female head model with male texture XD

[old arch]

NEAT

[stuck turret]

for better presentation
here the same head model but with democracy officer texture

[old arch]

hmm wierd and lazy

I know the Demo officer and ship master heads are different in-game as i had to give em hat seperaetly

and thus all females got hat from Sip masters head

for the males I did something different and replaced the hat they already wear instead of remodeling the head

ex

[leaden stratus]

for some reason filediver doesnt find some of the files

[leaden stratus]

are you able to send the textures?

[old arch]

All 8,000?

i didnt extract em

just grabbed what was interesting a can later

will probably take 20 minutes diving rn

[old arch]

@stuck turret @leaden stratus
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Pq0oDvSNjdt5aZyr5gnhZCHfCXx2HtYu/view?usp=sharing

Went through the files again and grabbed everything remoteley npc related

[stuck turret]

Eyelashes are missing

[leaden stratus]

0xf37 is still missing

[leaden stratus]

@old arch for some reason in the npc texture thing the 0xf37a4e is still missing

[old arch]

Not a texture

It's a place holder

[leaden stratus]

o

[old arch]

literally a 1x1 pixel

so tiny

[leaden stratus]

you forgor to tell me it was a placeholder

[old arch]

i didnt know

I just checked

[leaden stratus]

i legitimately thought it was supposed to be an actual texture

[old arch]

it's what AH does is make place holders a 1x1 pixel

[old arch]

its used a lot this one

[leaden stratus]

but which one is the shipmaster texture(this one is a different skin tone and the alpha messes up the subsurf)

[old arch]

no clue

[old arch]

neat'

we went opposite ways it seems

[stuck turret]

oh god

https://mega.nz/file/XJRThSKb#lyWpVvRxvQu1mb1HFuxooOZp59T3l8M_RWnVb47BspA

Also take those 10 heads textures which i already groupped and should be good to use (I did it manually so maybe i did some mistakes)
Those only 10 (With democracy officer) for now becasue those are not all of them

[old arch]

I've been messing with the NPCs more so I might be able to do the bodies and stuff now

probably not perfectly

their hella different than armors and stuff

you know of where I can find any Civilian textures or anything of theirs from the game?

I went through that civilian blends post but got 0 pings on the textures IDs

[stuck turret]

NPCs like those in the city uses just one texture for body, here on this server someone published those with texture so look there

[leaden stratus]

that one ship npc: gmod edition

[slender palm]

Anyone got the textures for the ship in general

[slender palm]

As in the super destroyer

[dense bridge]

do you have a new link to the blend files? the drive has been removed

[old arch]

I'll put the drive back up must've deleted by accident

[dense bridge]

i miss read mb

[old arch]

the crewmembers and seaf are now in this pack as well which is better than mine
