The X-Com Files / Re: Sprites for low-level cultists / replacing generics

Thanks for your helpful suggestions, I went ahead and removed the complete "resources" folder and even though the file HEAD_M0.png was no longer on my system the game still ran.
So I went ahead and reinstalled OXCE and XcomFiles and now changing the .png files works. Still no clue what was going on in that previous installation, but nevermind, I can edit things now

I'm not sure here's what I do: I change the .png for one of the heads (for example I change the first male head or "Bruce" as it is referred to in game if I'm not mistaken) then I load my savegame, enter the craft equipment screen, click the inventory button, right-click the armor of one of my agents and browse through the heads.. and I don't see the change :/

Love those sprites too! I also made some changes to existing faces under OpenXcom Extended\user\mods\XComFiles\Resources\Armors_Compilation\Heads\Inventory but it doesn't seem to have an effect, am I changing the wrong files? Where would I need to put these new sprites of yours?
(Obviously I'm new to openXcom, any help is very welcome! )

Hi guys 'n girls,
my name is Christoph, I'm 33 years old with a strong passion for old and strange movies, video games and music (and a little less strong passion for sports and drawing).
Like a lot of others here I must have been around 12-13 years old when I first played X-Com. I also was a huge fan of the X-Files and UFO-related media in general, so when I first saw X-Com it hit a spot.
X-Com is also one of the reasons I still love pixelish graphics, they just leave so much room for imagination.
This place, the developers, the community, the attitude .. it's just great :-) I really enjoy it.

So have a good time everyone, see you around!
