📋 About This Mod

Just my take on the majority of the face paint camos.

Description

My own take on the majority of face paint camo in the game.

Installation instructions

Make backups of the original files, unzip my archive file, copy contents to the "textures/flatlist/ovr_stm/_win" folder.

Main features

Starting as something I had only intended to use for my own playthroughs, thought I'd upload for anyone who might be interested. Not sure if there'll be texture errors, first time modding MGS but I've noticed no issues so far. 

I've always considered the face paints in the game to be either too blurry (Splitter) for my liking, or simply too perfect looking for facepaint hastily applied behind enemy lines. This is my take on the majority of them, with the exception of the country flags, kabuki, and oyama camos. I have attempted a smeared and imperfect appearance for them, with the aim of having them look applied in the field. Do note, the desert face paint differs between the bandana and full paint versions, one being mirrored. Interestingly, as a mod concept, this could effectively double the number of face paints. I'm not entirely sure this is worth it, however, due to the Virtuous Mission lasting less than 15 minutes.

These utilise the 4k upscaled textures from the community fixes pack as a base, with my face paints applied over them. To retain texture quality contrast, I'd recommend installing that mod if you do not already use it. 

For anyone wishing to use specifically select face paints, filenames follow:
