avok Apprentice Member # 6618	written Wednesday, April 23 2008 04:56 Profile #0 I want to be a shock trooper, but I don't want to look like woman! It's very annonying, I even tried to replace the pictures in the data folder with those for the lifecrafter, but it didn't work wery well, they appear to be different heights. Is anybody done this? Is there any relatively easy way (some tool maybe) to change the appearance of my character more than just the color scheme? Posts: 15 \| Registered: Wednesday, December 28 2005 08:00
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Wednesday, April 23 2008 05:18 Profile Homepage #1 I've never done it in G4 before, but I think I can do it. You'll have to test it, though, and be warned it could mess up your game somehow. First, find the file gf4itemschars. It's in the Scripts folder. Make a back-up copy somewhere safe. Then search for shock trooper to bring up this bit of text: Change cr_graphic_template = 150; to cr_graphic_template = 140; and cr_sound_when_slain = 106; to cr_sound_when_slain = 127;. This will change your shock trooper into a lifecrafter on the main playing screen. Next, save a back-up copy of the file G209 and save G208 as G209. This will change the shock trooper inventory picture into the lifecrafter inventory picture. And that should be it. You'll still see the shock trooper graphic when you go to choose your character, but in-game it'll be the lifecrafter graphic. Let Dikiyoba know if it works or not. -------------------- Episode 4: Spiderweb Reloaded • Episode 5: Spiderweb Resistance Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

Evnissyen Warrior Member # 15187	written Wednesday, April 23 2008 14:13 Profile Homepage #7 To tell the truth, in the Avernum games: with some of the characters it's difficult to tell whether they're male or female. I sort of have to guess: Are those chest swells due to muscles or mammary glands? In regard to Geneforge: It makes me a feel kind of sexy to play as a woman. Especially that Infiltrator in G4. In fact, it sounds like somebody here is a little uncomfortable with his sexuality? Posts: 178 \| Registered: Saturday, March 8 2008 08:00

As to why I don't like to look like a woman. I play the main character as myself. I give him my own name. And I am not perceiving myself as a woman. It's just a habit I suppose :D Posts: 15 \| Registered: Wednesday, December 28 2005 08:00
The Mystic Infiltrator Member # 7488	written Thursday, April 24 2008 06:49 Profile #12 For the most part, I don't mind playing female characters as long as they aren't too obviously feminine. After all, to your computer, your character is nothing more than a series of numbers and scipts, no matter how you may personally feel about it.

Ale193 Apprentice Member # 15228	written Thursday, April 24 2008 13:16 Profile #13 I also like to play the character as my self, so It's always bothered me that you each class had a set gender, that's why I've never played as an agent/infiltrator, or shock trooper. Avernum has always had a variety of male and female sprites and its always bothered me that geneforge dosen't. I hope that this issue is fixed in G5. On another note, Why are NPC shapers always blue? and agents brown? just wondering. :confused: on another another note, the sprite for shock troopers doesn't seem to mach its name. they don't look at all shocky or troopery to me. shock/storm troopers were first used in modern warfare during WWI by the germans, generally each squad would have several flametroopers (flamethrowers were deadly in the trenches) they would charge in small groups into the enmy trenches and cause as much damage as possible while completely exposed to enemy fire. the current sprite doesn't look very suited to heavy combat. it should have armor or something, it just doesn't look at all cool to me. :rolleyes: [ Thursday, April 24, 2008 13:22: Message edited by: Ale193 ] -------------------- To speak the truth one must first see it through both eyes.

Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, April 25 2008 07:15 Profile Homepage #14 Dikiyoba always envisioned shock troopers to be more in favor of quick battles, not pitched ones. Poor magic makes them more vulnerable--they can't cast the best buffs or rely on mental magic to scare opponents, so there's only so much damage they and their creations can take. Light armor makes more sense than heavy armor if they engage in hit-and-run tactics. Get in quickly, do heavy damage while the enemy is surprised and unprepared, then get out quickly. -------------------- Episode 4: Spiderweb Reloaded • Episode 5: Spiderweb Resistance Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Ale193 Apprentice Member # 15228	written Saturday, April 26 2008 13:42 Profile #15 I meant light armor, such as chitin armor, not guardian style plate-mail. also, I would think that simply a tunic would be just plain stupid to wear into battle. modern soldiers don't wear plate armor, but they wear kevlar vests. shapers can get away with it because they don't usually go to the front lines and they have magic. some one that focuses on conventional combat can't wear a blouse into a warzone. -------------------- To speak the truth one must first see it through both eyes.

Spidweb Board Administrator Member # 1	written Monday, April 28 2008 15:08 Profile Homepage #17 I called them shock troopers because, in a world of magic, I think that would be the role of wizards on the battlefield. They go in early, unload their devastating attacks to shock/awe the enemy, and retreat while the warriors/creations go in and take advantage of the disarray. I knew that people would find it odd that the shock troopers look so non-burly. But it made sense inside my brain. :-) - Jeff Vogel -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

That seems logical to me. And even though I'm so strategist in-game myself, I'm pretty sure that's exactly how a lot of players use them. -------------------- You lose.

Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Wednesday, April 30 2008 23:55 Profile #20 Except that those kind of tactics are suited to the missing sixth class, with strong magic and moderate creations, not to the Shock Trooper. With Aura of Flames or Mass Madness you can shock and awe. With a Reaper Baton or a Puresteel Blade you can pique and annoy. -------------------- Listen carefully because some of your options may have changed.
