BattleBlock Theater Custom Heads

[puggsoy]

Kosheh suggested making custom heads for BattleBlock Theater, I made one, figured a thread would be good for anybody else making them as well. If someone thinks this goes better in Game Development (since it's modding) then feel free to move it there.

Quick instructions if you don't know how to do it

Make a 128x128 image of your head, and put it in "<steamfolder>\steamapps\common\BattleBlock Theater\GameData\UserFaces". To open it in the game, just customise you're prisoner performer, go to the blueprint head (a new head shape that'll be there), and the custom heads will appear as face choices. I think you can have up to 60 or so at a time.

Some notes:

• The image has to be PNG.
  
• Your head must be facing right in your image, otherwise he'll face the wrong way.
  
• Transparency is supported, this includes partial transparency like anti-aliasing or see-through-y things.
  
• The colours in the head will be tinted to the player's colour, except for white which just keeps the original colours. Black-and-white images work well since the black stays black and the white turns to the chosen colour.
  
• The images are skewed a bit in-game. Not horribly so but just a bit, you'll see what I mean when you try it out.
  
• When you're playing multiplayer, you need to enable "Remote User Faces" in the options to see other peoples' custom heads.
  

So yeah, whipped up my ref in like 5 minutes in GIMP:



I'll try remake it to look better and fit the style of the original faces... someday. It's still not bad though, I made it simply to test it out anyway.

Share any heads you make here, so we can use them as well and laugh when they explode as they most surely will.
