How to use these .png files
The files in here are for the game of Pioneer Space Simulator, but can be used in any of ports of the game, like Pioneer Scout, too.
Please let me know if there is a problem here, because Pioneer itself is still developing, and I'm not sure if the ports are.
Most likely you can use them without any problem.
To use them in game you need to go to your Pioneer-directory (where you installed the game), and look for a directory/map, called 'Facegen'.
Once you've found it you need to place the .png-files at the correct sub-maps. So a 'head_0_0_0M' goes in the sub-map 'head', etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing instructions:
1) Find your Pioneer game directory/map
2) Go to the Facegen map in the Pioneer map
3) Copy your Facegen directory and put it on a place outside your Pioneer game map (!)
4) In the download files you will see maps like 'Species 0', 'Race 0' which are also present in the original Pioneer Facegen map
4) Replace the maps you want in your Pioneer/Facegen map with the new files (erase the original maps - before you do make sure you did really copy the original Facegen map)
5) If you replace heads of let's say, Race 0, you will need to make sure that you put in there at least one male head and at least one of the female head
or Pioneer will give an error (for example if you have only male heads and no female heads).
Which means you need also at least one female cloth and one male cloth for Pioneer to work, one male hair/nose/eyes/mouth and one female hair/nose\mouth. This is not the case with accessories and armour.
example: you want the new 'Race 0' ... erase the original map Race 0 and copy the new one to the 'Facegen/species 0' map
Important:
Once again: always make sure you do copy your original files from the 'Facegen' map to a map outside the Pioneer map, just in case you do not like the new files and want the old ones back in game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use both the old assets and the new ones together is, of course, possible - since the new files are renamed and should not overwrite something- but not recommended, because the new face files are adjusted to the clothes etc. that come with them, and you will see double versions of the same of which some will look odd..

Disclaimer, Permissions and Make Your Own Files
Of course you can make your own files, based on these .png files. For the graphics that came originally from outside Pioneer, (for example those made by Captain Now), I would suggest you try to contact the author to ask for permission, like I did. My permission is not needed, but I always like to see what you come up with.
You can use the files I created just as you like, both inside or outside Pioneer, but you may *not* use them for anything commercial or ask people money for downloading them or put them in a service, that requires a (paid) membership to (premium) download, etc. People need to be free to download them.
This initially also goes for derivations you make of either mine or my derivations of Captain Now's files.
Using these pictures will most likely not harm your computer in any way, but still you will use them at your own risk, which means I'm not responsible for anything that happens, and by using any picture you agree to this. If your girlfriend leaves you because you play too much Pioneer, or you just missed the aliens landing on our planet, loss of sleep, whatever, you can't sue me for this ;)
