Female AIs - Faces & Heads
By Geep, 2021

Introduction to "Part 1 – Faces & Heads – The Usual Suspects"
As with many video games, characters in TDM are composed of separate bodies and heads, which to some extent can be mixed and matched. In TDM (and unlike real-life) the character name and most other attributes is associated with the body, not the head. So default character names tend to be ignored when composing an FM. Indeed, an internal name is only displayed if a character is picked up, which is relatively rare. All this by way of explaining why the female heads are simply called, for instance, "Female01".
Given that, when you know which AI body and head you want, you would routinely select AI body first in DR’s "Create Entity", then, by selecting spawnarg "def_head", preview and choose a head. More about that process next.
Although not immediately obvious, there are only 4 distinct faces currently available in the core assets. These brown-eyed women come with various hair colors and styles, as well as necklines designed for different types of bodies. Generally, noblewomen and wenches have plunging, shoulder-revealing necklines, while townfolks and mages are more demure. In Part 1, we present photos showing each face/head with a table of details, including which bodies it pairs well with. More information about pairing is in Part 2, as well as photos of bodies with their available clothing styles, reflective of their roles.
The Faces & Heads of the Standard Distribution
About the Images
The head images here are from two sources:
- If they have a gray background. These are as seen in the DR "Create Model" viewer, which tends to be a bit more visually informative than the head-selection process of "Create Entity".
- Otherwise. In-game shots are used in cases where the DR viewer can't display the actual hair treatment.
Notes about the Tables Below
"Create Entity" Name (or Alternate Name). As seen in “Choose Entity”. To view the head in DR, navigate through the hierarchy prefix: The Dark Mod 2.0 (Standalone)/Internal/AI/...
To install a head in practice (but not see it in DR), first choose an appropriate body in “Create Entity”, then select its inherited spawnarg “def_head”, which will reveal the “Choose AI head…” button.
These entityDefs may be found in the folder tdm_ai_humanoid_heads01/def/ in either tdm_ai_heads_springheel.def (most female heads) or tdm_ai_heads.def (for alternative/legacy names for Female02 wench and Female04 noblewoman).
*.md5mesh Name. As seen in "Choose Model". Path prefix not shown: md5/chars/... Default Head on Body... If you choose the stated body type, the "def_head" spawnarg will have this head as default.
