MPlayer Char Editing Question

First time out of the vault

I'd like to change my multiplayer .chr characters hair colour to one that is not in the choosable list (ex.: purple).
I tried to Open chr in FT Tools and Save chr with new hair, but when i want to enter the edited character it says INVALID_CHAR.
Is there any way to change the hair colour to uncommon in multiplayer?
 
It still Didn't helped, it keeps poppin up a message: INVALID_CHAR.
No matter i've got other thougths now---

Is it possible to create a new race?
If possible, can someone tell me the way to do it?
(seems like editing the txt-files don't do much change)
 
Which character are you trying to edit? And did you send the updated file to all your opponents?

How do you mean new race? Is this for multiplayer or singleplayer? In singleplayer you can use the unique humanoid or unique other to create specials, like the uber roach or the general. But you can't just add another entry virtually everything to do with the races is hard coded.
 
The character i tried to change hair colour on, is created by me in multiplayer, to be absolutely legal. (MP recruits have bonus skill or stat points)
I can change MP recruit's hair colour but that's just not the same as editing my own chara's design.

For new race making, i wanted to make a race in MP called "Hybrid"
and give it a +2bonus to charisma and a mixed perk selection list (so i can give him/her Brutish Hulk, or Talon of Fear along with Human perks)
I tried to edit the UniqueHumanoid race, but i can't rename it, and it gives nothing special after editing.

So if it's possible to make or edit a race in (SP or MP i don't care just make it work) could you help me with what should i do to make it work?
 
Ah no you can't do anything with the MP characters you make yourself.

To change the name of the Unique Humanoids, you need to extract the race.txt from locale_0.bos to core\locale\game and then change it.

You can't change what perks it'll get unless you give it the bend/break the rules perk from the start.
 
Yes i extracted the locale0_.bos and edited the race file, but when i rename UniqueHumanoid, it disappears from the game.

And yes it seems i can't make a new race, but i duplicated Human race and in game i could choose 2 Human races, but when i renamed the 2nd Human, it disappeared from game like UniqueHumanoid.
And still no changes to the stats.

About the bend/breaktherules --- if i take it in Entity editor, it won't work, i tried it before,
but can it be chosen from game, in a legal way?
(mysterious stranger won't work also from Entity Editor)
 
Disappears how? And which part did you change?

At the bottom of race.txt you'll see this

// Added 11/1/01
name_UniqueHumanoid = {UniqueHumanoid}

just change the entry in between the brackets.

To change the base stats for a race you'll need to edit races.txt in core\tables.

Does Mysterious Stranger work at all? I've never taken it. I didn't think they had finished it.
 
NAh i can't see anything like "name=...." you say, i see just this:


I don't think mysterios stranger would work too, but can you tell me how to select bend/breaktherules from game?
 
Shit!

Races.txt and Race.txt are not the same.....thx i now know why it didn't work

Anyways, i still dunno how to select bend/breaktherules...
 
Use the Edit button, it's there for a reason! Don't tripple or double post!

The race.txt is in locale_0.bos and extracts to core/locale/game, I've said this already.

Bend/break the rules might be broken some perks are like swift learner. But even if they weren't you'd have the problem of the uniquehumanoid being able to take any perk. Which would be a bit of a game breaker.

Races are hardcoded and very hard to change.

PS was there really a need to post the races.txt?
 
Thanx all, and sorry for double posting i have a small monitor and i didn't see the EDIT button (sliders taken to center of screen)
And sorry for the races.txt posting, there was n need for it, i was in haste and was confused, i didn't really know what is necessary.


1 more question...how can i write stories for characters or some sentences to the UniqueHumanoid race ?

Ok i figured it out
