[Question] Generic Character Modding

Post by Brainsucker »

It is simple honestly, I want to give 2 character picture for human : Male and female for my random generated characters, because I feel it weird to see a male portrait with female name. So how?

To my knowledge this isn't possible as the game doesn't have gender recognition programmed in

You could do this trough the character file BUT names and stats will no longer be random.

Actually stats can be random...simply replace all the numbers you would normally plug in with question marks (?)

IE

0, Fearless Leader, 1, Fearless leader.png, human, ?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?, ?,?,?

you will get Fearless leader with completely randomized stats.
