Ahh, the great SniperHF, the Bringer of Rain, the Slayer of Theodokles, ... just kidding ;-)
I don't think, the 'old' 4 Player mod was meant but the one that recently was in the top 3 in Steam.
I unpacked it and it has the meta file with NumPlayers="4" ... and nothing else. (Unless Norbyte's tool does not work anymore, which I don't think.)
I was just curious how 4 characters would fit on the creation screen to find out that it's done in some FIFO way. And I am wandering which characters are used as 'players' in that mod because it has nothing but the meta, so no new players can have been added.
Yeah that's a different mod than the one Echo was talking about. Just the straight meta edit.
In the 4 player mod you do just play as Jahan or Madora or Bairdotr or a henchmen hire. So those players can't actually start playing until you get those characters. It doesn't mess with the character creation at all.
Is the
CharacterTeleportPartyToTriggerMovieLoadState(TRIGGER_CYS_Start_P1,"MovieGameIntro_Finished","MovieGameIntro");
call in DOSStart/CYS_General.txt not enough to teleport the party out of Char Creation to Cyseal Beach ?
It is but you basically have to do it twice (I switched it to one without a movie though). Cadmus, one of the Larian scripters who sometimes lurks the boards is the one who informed me that you have to actually leave the level and come back to it with the CharacterAddToCharacterCreation attached.
In the old classic version you could make the GUI pop up repeatedly by just forcing an autosave which was much easier.
