Ideas on how to create an NPC version of my Character?

[Gabrax]

I want to clone my character to be an NPC in the game and have him appear as a respawning enemy Dopplerganger who stalks me at random or specific events.

 

I still relatively new to editing Esp files and the likes.

 

I know how to extract stuff using FOMM but I don't know exactly how to make my own weapon, clothing item, etc with the "Empty esp" file. Willing to learn if there is someone who can point the way.

 

Ideas, tips, tutorials all welcomed!!

There are plenty of tutorials on this site. I learned to add in weapons from the tutorials here. Copying your character into an NPC would be difficult, I think you will have to wait for the G.E.C.K. before you can add an NPC. I think you would have to recreate your Character in the editor because your character data is stored in your save game. But all this type of stuff will have to wait for the cs before it is practical. (creating and scripting an NPC in FOMM is nearly impossible)

 

BTW the your character in the picture looks awesome, in a crazy evil sort of way.

I guess recreating him into an NPC would be hard without GECK... I hope it comes out soon!!

I have a lot of ideas if GECK is going to be in-depth and allow me to really express the terror that this character should be bringing into the game.

 

Yeah I wanted to make sure he was not just some regular ol' bad guy ~ I'll be adding a new video to showcase who this character really is. Right now I just have a "music" video with him in it as his entrance into the wasteland.

using fallout3edit , it is easly possible to do what you want here without the g.e.c.k, infact most hacks that dont involve rewirting the map are possible already .... well as far as i can see.

check under NPC's and look for someone who has the functionality you want in your new NPC .

you will easly see that all the detials for editing the apperance are held there , make your own new .esp

 

fallout3edit works extremely well. hope that helps !

In Oblivion there was a nice console command which copied the player char or NPC or summoned NPC. Don't know all of the FO3 codes myself so not sure if there is such a code too or not... What was the command.. CreateFullActorCopy I think. It'd have some limits but perhaps - assuming that command is in FO3 too - it'll help to create that NPC.
