Paul as JC

[Paul_Denton]

Hello, can u help me to replace JC to Paul and Paul to JC ingame on singleplay?
The Texts can be the orginal i only want to play Paul Denton on the main plot.
It this possible? im a nerd on editing

[Morpheus]

Your going to need a new player class for this. If you want to know how to play as Paul, see Zodiac mod. You play as Paul Denton in it.

[~DJ~]

OR if you're just working on some personal stuff.. like a video or something..

Using the SET commands might help;

Simply enable cheats, and then type 'set human mesh PaulDenton' (PaulDenton must be summoned/on the map)

and then..

'set PaulDenton mesh JCDentonMale' (But.. summoning JCDentonMale first, then typing that cheat.)

[DDL]

Wouldn't work, sadly: they both use the same mesh.

If you're not averse to some hacky hacky mchackstand core file hacking, you could just export your deusex.u code, change the multiskins assignments for paul and JC, and then recompile it. But that's quite hardcore...

Alternatively, if I get the time (probably won't, but hey: can always dream) I could whack a playerclass together: it'd be fairly straightforward.

[Paul_Denton]

Change the confg.file from JC to Paul dosnt work. I m noob on editing, but i test and configurate the zodiac player files with the orginal ones; dont work.
thats the reason why i want to ask your, a pro mod team.

thats sounds really to much for my noob experience. the second idea sounds better
to be it (maybe) easier, take the paul orginal file, dont the zodiac one with sunglass. i dont understand why its be so hard to change the player model, normaly is getting easy. change skripts or the player txd dont work.

damn i love deus ex, and i like the hdtp mod, but from beginning i can more identify with paul. i like him and want ever to play on the mainplot.
sry for my bad english.

or

should work...

[nerdenstein]

Or If you really wanted to play as Paul you could use the Shifter Mod

Note that this only changes the Player Model Though..

[Paul_Denton]

Damn dude, thats what im looking for. Big Thx

[Paul_Denton]

Lol this fu*kn mod works only for multiplayer. thanks for steeling my time, dude.

[DDL]

A) you don't need to censor your swearwords: swearing is fine here
B) manners are always welcome, however

"Lol this mod works only for multiplayer. thanks for steeling my time, dude." -a bit rude

"Ah, fucksticks, this mod works only for multiplayer. Oh well: thanks anyway, dude." -features swearing, but is nevertheless a more polite sentence.

[Paul_Denton]

i forget my polite, this kind of shit make me angry. i have wrote i want to play paul in singleplayer on the main game.
pls dont give me a answer if someone have no a idea how it is to do. thats senseless.

[DDL]

I doubt they realised it was MP specific: Hell, I didn't know either.

Still, worth employing a wee bit more patience before going crazy about it.


Anyway, the code is actually straightforward, it's just the implementation that's hard: the unreal engine is actually quite mod-friendly, but only if you know what you're doing.

Gimme a sec and I'll whip up a playerclass.

if u can do a magicfile how i can put in the deus folder and play as paul then i give you so much seconds u will need.

Ok, now I'm assuming you probably won't have the resources to compile this yourself (or are unwilling ) so I'm mostly just posting this code up for general editing purposes (also so anyone who spots mistakes can point them out). But I shall compile it tonight when I finish work, and then post up the package.

Turns out to be a bit more complicated, since carcasses of paul and JC reskin themselves according to internally saved references based on the playerskin value, which means you need not just a new playerclass, but also a new carcass and a new carcass for paul (pretty sure we can just reassign that one though). Hopefully this should adress any problems with the paul carcass in the MJ12 labs (if present) but we'll see.

I've gone for a straight swap, as requested (I hope?) so you won't have sunglasses, but paul (who now looks like JC) will.

Everyone will still, of course, call you JC and him paul, coz there's no way that's changable. But hey.
