Ulfric1 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'm trying to change the face and hair and the stats of some of the NPCs, but I'm not sure what I need to edit in the ARC files to do this.Can anyone give me some help on this or send me to a guide where I can read more on it?

LDKSuperDante Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I haven't delved very far into their stats, but I know a bit about editing NPC's. What are you looking to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulfric1 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 I want to change the appearance(maybe by copying settings from pawn files?) and buff the fighting stats of the nonhostile Westron Labrys bandits. Changing their gear would be a bonus but I mostly just want to change the first two parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing their gear would be a bonus but I mostly just want to change the first two parts.So far we can't add player/pawn appearance options to NPC's. As of right now we can only swap things out with other NPC's. For instance, you could make Madeleine wear Selene's Dress, or give Quina Selene's Hairstyle. You can also change their body types and colors and face. You can edit small details instead of just completely swapping things out, but that is much, much harder and more tedious. All of this is done through Hex editing. Unfortunately nobody has come up with any tools for doing this. Something I want to look into is seeing if we can force an NPC to load from wherever the Player and Arisen pull their appearance from, as there is an NPC that does this. If you haven't completed the game, this is a SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER (If you're still reading this I assume you've completed the game.) At the end of the game, The final boss makes a clone of you that you can actually talk to and interact with, so I figure there must be a way to force an NPC to load player appearance, I just have no idea how someone would go about doing that sort of thing.

Is there a database for the hex values and what they do? And what file do I need to edit for appearance? Yeah, the Seneschal fight. I thought NPCs and pawns/Arisen would probably have the same values for facegen since you can make pawns that look like NPCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDKSuperDante Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) There isn't a database, but FluffyQuack on steam does have a little info on it. When you open the NPC file with ArcTool, and open the NPC folder, you'll see a folder that says edit. You'll open that and then a couple more folders and you'll come to a set of 4 files that edit appearance, the .EDP being one of the main ones. Here's some of what FluffyQuack has on it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/367500/discussions/8/451852118781116766/?l=french I also made a list of what each NPC is a while back. It might help: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma/mods/482 Edited November 26, 2020 by LDKSuperDante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
