So, you want shaved heads in facegen?

I stumbled upon this by accident, and decided to keep it. I thought I might as well share that information with you guys.

I was playing with Bobble's excellent facial hair mod, and wanted to take away the "metro" hair style, as it often clashes with facial hair. So, I did. It turned out that instead of just no longer generating players with the metro hair style, it replaced that style with... bald guys! Basically, if you want bald guys, all it seems like you have to do is to have a gap in the number right after hair_ (like, say, hair_1_1_short.png) so that facegen, in essence, creates players with no hair. What I mean is that you have to create, say, hair_1_1_short.png and hair_3_1_elvis.png, but you have to leave hair_2 free (of course, you'll have to place the empty hair style in the middle, you have to have at least one after it)

I strongly advise those of you with established leagues not to do that, though, as you'll see players changing hair styles all over the place. If you don't have an established league, no problem, but if you do, the best way to go would be to duplicate your hair styles. For example, you would start off with if you have Bobble's mod:

hair_1_1_Short.png
hair_2_1_Elvis.png
hair_3_1_Metro.png
hair_4_1_Metro thin.png

What you should do is duplicate them all, and end up with:

hair_1_1_Short.png
hair_2_1_Elvis.png
hair_3_1_Metro.png
hair_4_1_Metro thin.png
hair_6_1_Short.png
hair_8_1_Elvis.png
hair_9_1_Metro.png
hair_10_1_Metro thin.png

That way, existing players won't have their hair style changed, but newly created players that end up with hair styles 5 or 7 would be shaved bald.

Anyway, it's just a little trick I thought I'd share because I haven't found it before, and I think the result is pretty cool! Attached are two examples.
