After some searching, I have been unable to find a good step-by-step tutorial for changing the doom guy’s face. When it comes to modding Doom, I am a total noob. I have made custom art in flash that I would like to use (higher res if possible). This seems like the best place to ask for help. Any links or advice regarding that would be much appreciated!

All you would need to do is put the new assets in a new wad (or pk3 with a newer engine) in the same folder structure & file name setup as the original.


This will open the .wad's so you can look inside them: Softpedia.com


Looks like there's ~80 or so images for the doom guy's face.

Greetings, I have been trying to use Slade, as it was recommended on another forum. I was able to locate the doom guy’s faces in the doom2.wad. I’m not sure where you get 80 faces from? I only counted 42.
Media.moddb.com

So you're saying just make a pk3 file and throw it in the game folder and that will override the original faces? Will that work with anything? For example, if I want to change the Brutal Doom faces? Guess I can leave the wad alone then. I could use help with the setup for a pk3 file.

Also, can my new faces be a larger size or must they be the exact size as the file I'm replacing? They're a bit detailed.

I’m very tempted to make a tutorial video on how to do this when I’m done. Surprised there isn’t one.
