Single Player Model Swapping

[Poorskates]

I've found mods that allow you to play through the single player campaign as the 3 female companions in-game, and I was curious as to how difficult it would be to extract the multiplayer player models and being able to use them in single player mode. if anyone has any advice on tools i could use to do this or modders who are trying rn pls let me know. thank u. i think it would be cool. i like the geurilla class track jumpsuit hahah

It's basically impossible, from what I can tell. The multiplayer characters are randomly built from "kits". They're not individual models like Flora, Nasreen, etc.

You have a list of arms, legs, heads, facial hair, etc. that are assembled when a match is started. It's a really cool idea that keeps things fresh, but it makes this kind of thing effectively impossible without an official set of mod tools or SDK.

My theory is that you could open the generic warrenclyde.xbg model with a hex editor, then dig through the MP kit pieces with a hex editor, copy and pasting the lines of code to "build" a custom MP player in SP.

But this would be so tedious and confusing that it might drive you crazy.

If you want to try, you can use the mod tools posted on the redux mod db page to do it. Unpack your worlds file to access everything.

thank you that was actually helpful information. i may just end up busting FC2 open with hex like you said and try it out. :) i appreciate the reply !

I recommend using these tools to unpack the files: https://www.moddb.com/mods/far-cry-2-redux/downloads/far-cry-2-mod-tools

You can also unpack redux with those to see how I implemented the female chars. Viewing their models with a hex editor should give you an idea of what I mean.

Good luck.
