Character & Crew Generator - IN BETA
We updated the game with a feature that is currently in beta but already available in the main game for wider community testing: the ability to create your own characters & crews and import them directly into the game.
BUILD YOUR OWN CHARACTER & CREW
Please note: This feature is a work in progress.
This feature isn't finished yet, and not everything you see in the online tool may get imported correctly yet. We are still working on it. We want to gather feedback from the community early, which is why we decided to add it to the main version already and mark it as a beta feature.
Here is how it works:
Generate your own character(s) with our web tool: http://station.groundofaces.com/
When you’re done, export your NPC / crew. This gives you a JSON file with all their unique data.
Open Ground of Aces and click “Import Crew” in the main menu.
Click “Open import folder” — this will open the Characters folder on your PC.
Place your downloaded JSON file into that folder.
Return to the Import Crew screen and click the sync button (the two arrows in a circle).
Your character(s) should now appear in the list. This means your NPCs can now appear in the game. NPCs with a checkmark are allowed to appear in your game as your starting crew, new aircrew from planes, or possible new people in the hiring screen.
We want to add the feature that you can decide over the starting crew. For now, the generated characters are part of the possible pool of NPCs that can appear in the game.
Tip:
If you would like to artificially spawn your created characters, use the regular "spawn_character" cheat with the parameter true at the end to spawn a random custom crew member that fits the description (previous parameters).
For example, "spawn_character none male true" will spawn a random custom male ground crew member.
So now you can…
Create yourself — how would you look in Ground of Aces?
Build a full custom crew — family, friends, or your dream squad.
Recreate historical figures — famous aces or entire squadrons.
