Not the shaper into a drakon... The shaper looks into a drakon (there different i only want the shaper to look like a drakon not act like 1). P.S. i like the graphics [ Thursday, April 20, 2006 18:42: Message edited by: sharx ] -------------------- im back in turn based RPG!!! Posts: 32 | Registered: Saturday, October 29 2005 07:00 |

Oh........Hmmm.....yes.......well. I could change a chicken into a magic-casting cow in BoA. But not for geneforge. I would think that changing a PC characters was almost impossible but someone here should know what to do. :) -------------------- I hate you all Posts: 165 | Registered: Friday, October 28 2005 07:00 |

Well you might be waiting for sometime considering this sounds quite difficult to do. :( On the bright side (if any) you might be here for even longer!!! -------------------- I hate you all Posts: 165 | Registered: Friday, October 28 2005 07:00 |

I don't have any of the GFs so I don't know the exact steps, but I do know the gist of it. Change the name of the shaper graphic files to that of the drakon graphic files. -------------------- ??? ?????? ???? ????? Posts: 883 | Registered: Wednesday, October 19 2005 07:00 |

Instead, someone could copy-and-paste a corresponding or similar Drakon picture into each of the Shaper graphic boxes. -------------------- quote: Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |

Given that Geneforge is real-time animated, wouldn't there be about two hundred individual graphics for a character? That's a lot of copying and pasting. -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator. Posts: 420 | Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00 |

The individual Shaper graphics and individual Drakon graphics aren't even the same size. Dikiyoba thinks it's much more trouble than it's worth. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Changing the template number in the script alone wont give the desired effect. As said earlier the Drakon graphic is larger than the Shaper graphic. It would take more work than it's worth to make a PC Drakon, and since all shapers (including the PC) share the same template all Shapers would become Drakons.

Altering PC graphics requires lots and lots of time, but nothing more advanced than MS Paint. Doing something like giving the agent long swaying hair, or the townspeople potbellies would be easier and more worthwhile. It's also fun to change static graphics (I did the boat). No reason not to turn blood pools into banana peels and impaled skulls into colorful balloons. There are other more profane things one can do to the graphics that I have chosen not to describe. -------------------- One of these words is mispelled.

Well, first of all I have done this before so it is possible. 2nd go to gf3itemschars.txt And replace the old shaper thing with this begindefinecreature 0; cr_name = "Shaper"; cr_graphic_template = 85; //110 cr_max_health = 20; cr_max_energy = 20; cr_max_essence = 10; cr_regen_rate = 2; cr_energy_regen_rate = 2; cr_walk_speed = 24; //base_speed; cr_base_level = 1; cr_sound_when_slain = 127; Now to the right of the 85 is 110 which is the shaper graphics so when you don't wont drakon graphics you can just swap 85 with 110. 3rd It will change the size to make it right. 4th Good luck. 5th My first post!!!! And I already need to edit. 6th (what I missed)Adding a sword or a baton will change the graphics from a drakon. (I forgot what it changed to.)

llama -- Your recent flurry of posts has elevated to the level of spam. Desist or your membership privledges will be suspended indefinitely. More on topic, changes of graphics can be fun at first, but really lose their coolness factor after a while. Of course, if you are easily entertained, have fun!

The graphics template number has 1 or 2 added to it when carrying weapons I believe, hence the gazer/eyebeast Posts: 76 | Registered: Saturday, August 16 2003 07:00 |

"The graphics template number has 1 or 2 added to it when carrying weapons I believe, hence the gazer/eyebeast" Yes, that is one of the disadvantages of being something else Dolphin. artificial orange explained that :) so I don't have to! ( I referred to this in my first post.) "More on topic, changes of graphics can be fun at first, but really lose their coolness factor after a while. Of course, if you are easily entertained, have fun!" Yes, that is why I don't have drakon graphics on all the time. -------------------- "I knocked him out, but I managed to hit the reply button before he fell down."-The person behind him.
