Unit Transmissions

[SyrisX]

Is there a way to play a static image instead of the animated portrait during a transmission from a unit?

Actually.. is there way to use a static image in place of a animated portrait for a unit in general?

i assume you would need to import a portrait model

cause like every model is like

footman.mdx
footman_portrait.mdx

or something like that

so you would just import a footman_portrait.mdx that looks like a static image

Doesn't every model have a specific path it looks at for its portrait? Like a portrait camera view from the model itself? Is it possible to replace that with an icon, 2d image? Not a 3d animation

No, the path is relative to the model's name. Do what Narks suggested.

That would involve downloading a modeling program and creating a model that is flat and putting my image on the front of it? Is there a way to convert a 2d image into a .mdl.. which can be converted into a .mdx?
