Playing a playset with a not associated character (through hack)?

[Mean Yeen]

Hey guys,

does anyone of you know if or how it's possible to actually use another character in for example one of the star wars playsets?
Since the playset adventures aren't connected with a special character during gameplay I imagine it won't be that problematic to actually have a hack working doing this.

Cheers!

From what I've heard, no. There was a thing a while ago about somebody playing as White Tiger (pretty sure it was a skinhack of Black Widow), but if somebody's found out how to do it they haven't told the public yet.

That's too bad. Simply said the only thing needed is a way to load the character into the running playset. The rest would be just Infinity being Infinity.
It's quite stupid that this (very simple) option wasn't included - since it's called "Infinity" when it's limited like that. :I
Sadly I'm anything but a pro towards game mechanisms and stuff, so I'll never be able to work on something like this myself.

Okay, I tried to actually switch the files from the character folder. Well, it certainly didn't make the game crash, but it'll get stucked while trying to load the character.

Failed :I

I tried that as well a couple of weeks ago. My best guess is that the character zip file contains files with the name of the character. For example, if you put Mickey's files into Anakin's folder, even if you rename the zips the game is going to see files with Mickey's name while it is looking for Anakin files and it ignores the Mickey files if that makes sense. Until someone figures out how to open the zip files that aren't really zip files, there isn't anything we can do.

I think that's one of the things "Infinite Infinity" is trying to do (apparently it's a private server for 3.0 that's being developed by fans to add in missing content like Battlegrounds and the Moana stuff that never got released, as well as adding Multiplayer back into the game). Though I could be mistaken.

I highly doubt a release of Moana, which probably wasn't even finished or in production. How should the team get their hands on that files anyways?
I only heard about the characters that steam missed out. IF the playsets of Battleground and Dory get transfered it would be cool, but I assume getting them working is a whole different procedure that eventually might not be just an import-job like the character files.

We'll see by time - at least I hope! These guys from Infinite Infinity are doing a incredible job so far.

Anyways, back to the topic:
If there are still ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Check the assets/mission_data folder. There is a moana folder. I don't have a clue what's in those files, but at the very least some work was done.

Hah, you're right! Quite interesting! I can imagine that these mission files are actually usable, tho I don't think we're getting any characters or other specific moana content other than that.
