Solved Changing playable character names?

[Oker]

Hey guys,

Is there a way to change the player character names? I've looked about in the files but haven't come across anything so far. Basically I'd love to change one of the selectable characters names to something of my choosing. I'm sure there must be a way if you can add new player characters, but for the life of me I just can't seem to find the correct file to do it, I spent a good few hours searching the ones I thought would contain them lol.

I'm currently running GoF 1.1.2 if that helps at all.

Thanks guys!

Yes, but it isn't simple.

I have too wished you could do this. If we could build in something like we have for the ships that would be awesome.

As it stands now, you would have to change the character name in multiple program files. RPG and NPC characters C and H, characters_init, LAi_characters, characterselector, charactertables, utilities, etc... If you can match the new name to the character model look-up number in the tables, your work is done. If not, you MAY need to go into RESOURCE/models and textures and change the model names and texture names that go with the character's new name so that they both match.

So yes it can be done, but with some significant work. Just out of curiosity, is there a particular one you want changed and is there a reason? If there was a good historical reason, I might change it for you.

There are a couple of the pirate names I'm considering changing for GOF ERAs.
