[BG3] RPGHQ hirelings

[Oyster Sauce]

Is it possible to make a mod where the default hirelings are replaced by a collection of HQser submitted characters? Ideally it would be as simple as pasting characters imported from save files or character files or whatever over top of a default one and editing the bio.
I tried to figure out how to do this but gave up because it was hard

[Slavic Sorcerer]

That's actually a really nice idea



Have you tried copying, editing existing hirelings, and comparing them with the main character file?

I never looked into their files but I can imagine them having their own "character sheets" for lack of the better term that marks them as a hireling

Should converting the main character into a hireling be too impossible/troublesome, then if duplicating hireling files work, perhaps all that's left is to edit values they have
Race change, looks change, class change, voice change (idk if they have a voiceover) etc

This should be doable... we'd have to reverse engineer existing companions as Slavic said.
* you'd have to create a NPC with visuals that you like using CharacterVisuals/_merged.lsf file
* Duplicate and a RootTemplate "Object" of an existing companion and link the visual resource ID.
* Create an icon that the roottemplate refers to...
* figure out how to add them to character selection...

Not impossible just a bit of reverse engineering. Anyone who wants to pick this up let me know, I'll help you out.

Can you just do it though?

Too busy unfortunately.

Only time I see GGS and his discord lackies post is to bother me and any that supports me.
Ah the air just reeks of envy & inferiority complex.

Get some ****, and *** already.

Wince worthy.

Oh hello Vergil.
That didn't take long.

"Everyone who I disagree with is GGS"

GGS hates me though?

Curiously, one shitposts and Shilltron straight after. Coincidence? I think not.

**** sis, that's not nice. Plus Shillitron is an old user here, he's aware it's only banter.

Plus you've said recently you didn't have anything against me. Why do you attack people indirectly then always try to deflect when directly confronted? That's also not nice

Oh now I see Orin directed the offense at Shillitron, not me. My bad sorry (though shillitron is an okay guy as far as I've seen, that was not warranted).

But well, people here enjoy bantering all the time as you've already figured out, that's another side of freedom of expression. Don't let it get to your nerves sis, we enjoy your work and you know you're a great addition to the forum

You are under some illusion that there's some good and evil war going on and the sides are "GGS Discord Goons" vs "Orin's Simp Army"

The truth is.. It's Turtles vs Coterie. Always has been.

Amazing, thank you <3

I could give it a try
My brain slowly itches to get back into the game
No promises tho

Then you admit to violating Rule 7.

If you get back into modding, let me know.

I would like to rerequest this in case the new tools have made it trivial

Agreed, would love to see my Uthred in other player's parties (unless he is too **** stats and abilities-wise)
