PhysicsTemplate might need replacing too. There was a big problem with this preliminary test though; the Cow that I summoned had no animations, was Summoned as a Guest NPC (not controllable), and didn't attack when in combat.

If animation and textures can be replaced I'd suggest going with a model that's totally different. I know some people who wouldn't like seeing scorpions or large ants either. Would you be simply replacing the look of the creature or are you going to switch up its abilities either? A cow shooting webbing would be awkward.

I noticed the nexxus has created a page for DOS mods, since Skyrim Grimrock and Dragon Age No spiders mods are avaiable on the site I think they'll have it for this game has soon has it's released. Meanwhile I'm playing the game in co-op so we manage ^^.

In virtually every setup where there are Spiders wolves would also fit.... for even better gooey goodness call them "Spiderwolves"... that hatch and vomit webs and poison. That way you get all the evil goodness of spiders without the visual of spiders.

Raspa13 stranger R Joined: Jul 2014	Thanks Rhidian ! For the summon creature, it's quite easy to not use the spell (except of course if an enemy use it). Do you think there will be some issues by replacing the visual of the mobs ? And if a cow shouts webs and casts poison, why not, if it allows us to play the game

And the giant boss version or versions might end up being small. For now it appears the boar would be the easiest test subject that wouldn't just look comical as a replacement (such as sheep).

Rhidian addict R Joined: Jul 2014	Well, my worry about the replacement is that it might cause it so that enemies are treated as neutral NPCs, and won't attack and such when combat starts like my quick test of the Spider summon did. And I'm not sure how I can test that easily since Spider enemies don't really appear until the Black Cove sub-boss. Edit: More importantly, I need to figure out how to edit Characters without having Developer rights, or get changes to their RootTemplates to stick in-game.

MrEsturk journeyman Joined: Jul 2014	Well the model swap method seemed to work. Here's a summoned spider, or shall I say boar now: I tested it in combat, all the animations worked right, no confusion with collision or being mistaken for wrong alignment, etc. But as you can see the boar scales a bit small so I'm going to see if I can find an animal that scales better. Other issues at the moment: - Still uses spider portrait, sound effects and name. But that would be expected since I didn't replace them. - The summon animation still extends a thread string. No the boar doesn't extend from the string like a spider :p. He comes out of the ground as with a normal boar spawn animation. Sexy Armor Mod: www.nexusmods.com/divinityoriginalsin/mods/6/?

So I replaced the RootTemplate of several of the NPCs at the beginning like so- There were several steps I had to do in order to get it to save successfully. I had to copy the file they were originally located in (Data/Mods/Main/Globals/Cyseal/Characters/characters-tutorial.lsb) and transfer it into my mod's Data/Mods/(Mod Name)/Globals/Cyseal/Characters/characters-tutorial.lsb. Then I loaded the Editor and could successfully make changes to them. What showed up in-game was this- See that man trailing the two hooded wizards? That's the mage I changed in the first pic above. Unfortunately, the script that summons the intro battle failed to work, so they just ran away. Last edited by Rhidian; 27/07/14 10:48 PM.
