Hi!
For a while now, I've been trying to make a small modification to change the head mesh, and also the head texture and body texture of the Nameless Hero in Gothic 1. I did this same stuff succesfully before for Gothic 2, but I can't get it to work in 1.
I want the Hero to look like Arto (the ore baron that talks to Scar in Gomez's room). So what I've done so far is: I used the VDFS tool to get Arto's head and body texture, as well as his head anim out of the .VDF files. I then found the Hero's files, and renamed Arto's files to the same names as the Hero's. I made the files' paths the same way as Gothic has them- _WORK/DATA/_COMPILED/ANIMS + TEXTURES
I then packaged it all up with the VDFS tool's builder function. I stuck the .mod file into Gothic's Data folder, and then tested it ingame, but it didn't do anything.
I've also tried the whole export/import hero thing and have edited the Zen files, but whenever I change the Hero's looks to Arto's, I'm unable to talk to anybody or rest, just like if I possesed him with O in Marvin Mode.
It seems I'm at a dead end.... I do, however, know that this whole thing is possible, because there are mods that change the player's looks, such as the Noname mod. I remember this being easy to do in G2, not sure why I can't make it work in G1.
Hopefully you guys can lend a hand. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
