Is there a way to add more unique faces to the crew?

I filled my command room with 8 people on my sub, so the watch it pretty crowded! With so many people, I am getting duplicate faces.

How can I add more unique faces? Can I create my own face .dds files and add them to the 3D .upc?

The Germans look different, can I add their faces?

Most likely there is a stock number of AI's. You'll have to find those files and see it you can add members and the faces can be made in GIMP and added afterwards. The German side simply uses the same AI's with different .dds files for clothes and face.

I raised this issue quite a while ago. It dampens the immersion somewhat when 3 or 4 of the guys in the conning tower or on bridge watch have the exact same face.

I was pointed at some of the text files but I forget which ones they were. The files in question essentially determined which 'body' was at which 'station'. I screwed around with my limited knowledge but didn't get the results I'd hoped so I gave up.

Changing the graphics of the faces may not help at all as you will still have the same problem. The game will insert graphic 'x' onto body in station 'y' and may repeat the process as before with the same result.

I think the text/config files are the way to go but I wasn't smart enough to find which text/config files were 'linked' in order to resolve the problem of repeating faces.
