How do i use ped models for main player?

[XgenDaNcEs]

Ok so you know how GTA SA uses a head.dff, torso.dff, and so on for the main character's model... while a normal ped uses one dff? Well i wanted to know if its possible to use a ped model and replace it with CJ. For example, lets say i wanna take Ryder, and replace him with CJ. Is there some sort of .dat file i gotta change so the game can read one only one dff model for CJ?

 

I know i could use a skin selecting mod, but i then CJ will still appear in cut scenes... i want to replace him completely!

To do this you gotta edit the main.scm with SannyBuilder. I suppose you could do this on 3dsmax by individually replacing the ped parts with CJ's parts but it would take a while.

 

There are two types of peds, special actors and just regular peds. To change CJ to a regular ped, put this code in the INITIAL part of the main.scm

 

model.Load(#SFR1)

038B: load_requested_models

09C7: change_player $PLAYER_CHAR model_to #SFR1

 

to change CJ to a special actor, in your case Ryder use this

 

023C: load_special_actor "RYDER" as 1

while 823D: not special_actor 1 loaded

wait 0

end

09C7: change_player $PLAYER_CHAR model_to #SPECIAL01

 

You can change the names #SFR1 to any non special actor ped, which is basically any character that isn't a main character and you can change "RYDER" to any character that is a special actor.

 

The problem with this is that doing anything that'll revert CJ to his original model (changing clothes, tattoos, sometimes dying or sometimes entering a building, etc.) will cause this to bug and CJ will look like a pretzel. I'm currently working on a way to resolve this.

If you want to play as a ped you can do it in 2 different ways: using the Skin Selector mod, or using the BC7 Mod.

This (skin selector) and this (bc7) tutorials may help you.

Hello, sry for busting a 2-year-old thread, but I've got a question regarding the special actor change you wrote. Where exactly do I need to put the

 

023C: load_special_actor "RYDER" as 1

while 823D: not special_actor 1 loaded

wait 0

end

09C7: change_player $PLAYER_CHAR model_to #SPECIAL01

script? I'll attach my whole main.scm below (it's stripped so it's very small, don't worry ) -->

Please help me out as I want to change CJ to a special ped (1.dff and 1.txd) when he spawns for the first time (start new game). Thank you for reading and possibly helping Good day!
