Because it took me a minute to find..Folder is named: raibualternate

Nice work, Brooklyn! Thank you for the workaround!

To make it work, you have to manually replace the head in .dat file of this mod from this:

<model type="head" ref="extensions/ego_dlc_terran/assets/characters/terran/heads/char_ter_m_cau_blend_head_darkeyes_01" />

To this:

<model type="head" ref="assets/characters/argon/heads/char_arg_m_dyn_blend_head" />

Can you tell how to do it?

Problem in missing head model. Need replace at another and its work

Yeah, nothing with 8.0, empty ship during external view. Hope he comes back and updates, nice mod.

Broken with the beta.

Unfortunately it is not working at the moment

It's a shame that this mod disables achievements. The character looks great that way.

I don't think this works with 7.0... please update?

great mod ,but would it be possible adding a beard for old farts like me ,i`ve seen npc with it ^^

I don't know why, but for some reason this new appearance does not show up in the screen where you choose which gamestart you do.

For me, at least, it still shows the blond guy as Raibu.

Did you forget to overwrite the Terran Male 1 appearance (the one you can select when making a custom gamestart)?

Also, how do you get the white suit on the character? I know you have a mod that makes all male gamestarts use the black suit, but I would greatly prefer the white one.

To see the character I stand near a docked ship and use external view on the ship. Unfortunately you can't stay in this view or move during it. It's just for screenshots.

same question for me :)

How do you see the character when you're playing as them?

That's good to hear, thanks :D

Yeah you can sub/unsub from the mod in existing saves.

Are these changes retroactive?

I remember that for Stellaris actually! I've been testing this and it appears that only the player macros have locked in skin colors. This should mean I can swap out the macro in gamestarts to a new macro.

I've barely played X4 recently, I'm absorbed by modding

Yes, I remember that. A similar situation happened on Stellaris. Very sad that people think like that. I just want my character to be modified.

I was able to change my young gun start to different heads, torso and props using Terran assets. Need to figure out how to use the textures with different race tags (asi, afr, cau ...etc) on the character.

At the moment am not playing TER, back to my ARG save. Want Getsu Fune as my home sector without TER. I build alot of stations.

Oh right! That's super interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

The reason you cannot change skin color anymore is because when the game was launched, there was a mod which made all the characters white. Now the game forces the diversity on you by hiding the flag for colors

No worries Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.

Thank you for all your efforts KO. Much appreciated.

Hey Cythal. I've been trying to figure out how to change the skin colour for you. Sadly I have no idea. I've attempted changing almost everything in character_macros and it doesn't appear to change the skin. If I figure it out I'll get back to you.

As for the sliders in facemods, I don't think there's a list but you can take lines from other characters and apply them to the character you're working on. That's what I do. I think the playable characters likely have all of the available facemod lines, so start there. Feel free to make edits on my mods :)

@KO, please which part changes skin colour, and is there a place to get a list of the models to use to change to a particular face, head or skin colour?

I think so. Sorry I don’t have a good answer because I’ve always played with mods.

I'm assuming it will flag the game as modified?

Nope! Works with existing saves and can be removed.

Is it necessary to start a new game?

@Seogee, Hey sorry it took me so long to get to this request. Here you go! Works with this mod.

thx for sharing a nice mod!
could you make Raibu with yaki flight jacket to?
it should be looking great :)

No worries! I hope you end up with something you like

Thank you for sharing. Will tinkle about and do some edits using only Terran assets for a new game start. Really like the Terran uniforms and body models, good improvement from old Argon ones.

Oh one thing I should add is that Argon stuff doesn't always work on Terran and vice versa. Most outfits are fine from what I've experienced but hairstyles and beards don't sit right.

Yep. If you unpack my mod you'll be able to edit upon it super easily. Just make sure you make any changes to both the character models. The game displays a different model in cutscenes. So if you only edit the first one you will look different in cutscenes.

The two macros for Raibu are:
character_player_terran_gamestart1_macro
character_terran_male_plot_terran_gamestart_actor_macro

Thank you. So I can do some changes myself using your mod as a base and change hair colour, skin colour etc.

To edit faces I'm changing the facemod configuration which is in character_macros in the game library. I'm experimenting with the ability to pull facemod data from save files so that I can copy nice looking NPCs. NPCs are generated with semi-randomness (within certain parameters) so it isn't super easy to copy them. But realistically any character who always looks the same can have their face taken and placed on another character, it's just kind of complicated to do so.

The facemods do work in cutscenes yep.

How do you mod faces? Is it possible to chose another NPC model to replace my character or are you directly editing the textures?

Also if replacing model, does it work in cutscenes?

Glad you like it! :)

love your work so far
keep it up
10,000 new game player options please

Yeah...I agree with @Elder Drake here. His inability to grow facial hair was getting to me.

I had fun making this one. I'll use it myself when I play him.

thank you KO for doing this as the original character just was lacking. this is much appreciated.
