Hi! Could you tell me what would I need to edit in my file if I just want to swap Shaundi with Tanya?

Hi, what you need is character.xtbl, in patch_compressed.vpp_pc. (this is the more updated version)

A basic guide:
You have to change what appears within <Character>...</Character>, the one middle of it, after <Name></Name>. Confusingly, a character entry in this file starts with <Character> as well.
It is best to edit this file with Notepad++ with Language > XML syntax highlighting, and turn off Word Wrap. Use shift + scroll to scroll to the side easier.
You can also use Ctrl + G to hop to specific line numbers (as provided below).

For reference Shaundi has these entries for all the different models she has:

So if you wanted to change the 'pre-loyalty' Shaundi (the first one in that list), look at the saints_female_shaundisr3 and change it to the one provided in Tanya's entry, which is saints_female_tanyasr1 (in <character> tags, not <name>! Name is more for ID for the game to identify.)

I can't remember if changing gameplay voice affects their cutscene voices as well (usually resulting in broken cutscene audio when I change the player's), but if you want your Tanya to use Tanya's gameplay voices, go to the <Persona_Override>Shaundi</Persona_Override> to <Persona_Override>Tanya</Persona_Override> (Normally these are defined in character_definitions.xtbl, but for some reason someone defined them here too. Fun fact, one of the STAG soldiers use Tanya's voice bank!)

So as an example the first entry might look like this (I haven't tested this):

XML: 
    <Character><Name>npc_Shaundi</Name><_Editor><Category>Entries:Saints_and_Allies</Category></_Editor><Character>saints_female_tanyasr1</Character><Spawn_Info_Rank>Homie - Shaundi</Spawn_Info_Rank><Team>Playas</Team><AI_Personality>gang normal</AI_Personality><Flags><Flag>use_gang_color_scheme</Flag><Flag>no_ambient_spawning</Flag><Flag>use_leg_bone_constraints</Flag><Flag>use_knees_and_elbows</Flag><Flag>ungrabbable</Flag><Flag>no_instagib</Flag></Flags><Filters><Gender>Female</Gender></Filters><StreamCategory>Non Ambiently Spawnable</StreamCategory><Headshot_Multiplier>1</Headshot_Multiplier><Firearm_Damage_Multiplier>2</Firearm_Damage_Multiplier><Color_Palette>NPC_ShaundiDPTest</Color_Palette><Persona_Override>Tanya</Persona_Override></Character>

Once you have changed one character, save, then immediately launch the game to see if it boots to main menu.
If you have done something wrong it will crash at the disclaimer logo. CTRL + Z IS YOUR FRIEND HERE, UNDO AND SAVE AGAIN UNTIL IT DOESN'T CRASH. DO NOT CLOSE NOTEPAD++ AFTER A SYNTAX ERROR CRASH.

---
It seems daunting, but if you can follow the above steps, you'll be able to swap out most NPCs as long they aren't a DLC character or a very specialized one like... Paul... Or John Joe Cola... Or if they're a DLC character...

A basic guide:
You have to change what appears within <Character>...</Character>, the one middle of it, after <Name></Name>. Confusingly, a character entry in this file starts with <Character> as well.
It is best to edit this file with Notepad++ with Language > XML syntax highlighting, and turn off Word Wrap. Use shift + scroll to scroll to the side easier.
You can also use Ctrl + G to hop to specific line numbers (as provided below).

So if you wanted to change the 'pre-loyalty' Shaundi (the first one in that list), look at the saints_female_shaundisr3 and change it to the one provided in Tanya's entry, which is saints_female_tanyasr1 (in <character> tags, not <name>! Name is more for ID for the game to identify.)

I can't remember if changing gameplay voice affects their cutscene voices as well (usually resulting in broken cutscene audio when I change the player's), but if you want your Tanya to use Tanya's gameplay voices, go to the <Persona_Override>Shaundi</Persona_Override> to <Persona_Override>Tanya</Persona_Override> (Normally these are defined in character_definitions.xtbl, but for some reason someone defined them here too. Fun fact, one of the STAG soldiers use Tanya's voice bank!)

So as an example the first entry might look like this (I haven't tested this):

XML: 
    <Character><Name>npc_Shaundi</Name><_Editor><Category>Entries:Saints_and_Allies</Category></_Editor><Character>saints_female_tanyasr1</Character><Spawn_Info_Rank>Homie - Shaundi</Spawn_Info_Rank><Team>Playas</Team><AI_Personality>gang normal</AI_Personality><Flags><Flag>use_gang_color_scheme</Flag><Flag>no_ambient_spawning</Flag><Flag>use_leg_bone_constraints</Flag><Flag>use_knees_and_elbows</Flag><Flag>ungrabbable</Flag><Flag>no_instagib</Flag></Flags><Filters><Gender>Female</Gender></Filters><StreamCategory>Non Ambiently Spawnable</StreamCategory><Headshot_Multiplier>1</Headshot_Multiplier><Firearm_Damage_Multiplier>2</Firearm_Damage_Multiplier><Color_Palette>NPC_ShaundiDPTest</Color_Palette><Persona_Override>Tanya</Persona_Override></Character>

Once you have changed one character, save, then immediately launch the game to see if it boots to main menu.
If you have done something wrong it will crash at the disclaimer logo. CTRL + Z IS YOUR FRIEND HERE, UNDO AND SAVE AGAIN UNTIL IT DOESN'T CRASH. DO NOT CLOSE NOTEPAD++ AFTER A SYNTAX ERROR CRASH.

It seems daunting, but if you can follow the above steps, you'll be able to swap out most NPCs as long they aren't a DLC character or a very specialized one like... Paul... Or John Joe Cola... Or if they're a DLC character...

Thanks! That was very useful. My file looks different, it does not have long lines, but it is formatted neatly. I think I got it from one of my mods, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, I found most of the entries you kindly listed and made some edits, I'm waiting for some processes on my PC to end and then test if the game boots correctly.

Question: are all of the entries you listed for regular Shaundi? Because Fun Shaundi can stay, lol. Also, what is each one? i have doubts about npc_Shaundi_bobblehead, saints_female_shaundijsuit and npc_Shaundi_ST6, for example.

Also, you seem to be pretty knowledgeable about this stuff. Do you think you could please help me with this question I made here?

Thread 'Modifying Hourly Reward Rate'

Not exactly a "mod request", but more like a cry for help to make something by myself, lol.

I want to change the time it takes for you to get the "hourly" rewards transfer to make it slower, since I feel it is too fast, and the info may as well be useful for someone that wants to make it quicker.

Now, I KNOW I made this for SR3 years ago, since I have the rate I want in my game, lol, but I for the life of me can't remember what file I changed or what did I modify. I THINK it may be the tweak_table, but I'm not sure. I also believe I may have asked for help on these forums, but can't find...

Thanks!
 
Right, so off top of my head:
npc_Shaundi_50s is the "mom Shaundi" that appears in the Pleasantville missions
npc_Shaundi_bobblehead is a leftover of SR3 Shaundi that does not have her ponytail, used for the intro bank mission (she does not have the bobblehead when spawned normally)
npc_Shaundi_Future is Future Shaundi that appears in the Christmas DLC, the one that has funky hair and cyborg eye/arm
npc_Shaundi_Sim is Shaundi that appears when her loyalty missions are completed, she looks like this (wearing a "battle" outfit)
npc_Shaundi_ST6 is Shaundi that appears in the intro mission, wearing the Zero Saints Thirty outfit theme
npc_ShaundiSpace is the Shaundi In A Spacesuit that appears at Gangstas in Space in SR3
npc_ShaundiDPTest is SR3 Shaundi but she's colourable! (example)
saints_female_shaundijsuit is Shaundi as she appears in the spaceship
saints_female_shaundinude is SR2 Shaundi except with... censor bars...
and the rest are fairly obvious, though I think temp_ped_fem_shaundi50s is the same as 50s Shaundi.

I'll answer that in a bit (IF I FIND IT, LOL), but gonna drop a tip: using Find in Files to search a keyword within the folder that has extracted files will often guide you to find random things. Here is an example of all the .xtbl files where Shaundi appears in an extracted misc_tables.vpp_pc

Thanks again! I could hug you, lol.

I changed all of those (except the nude Shaundi), the game boots and a quick testing when starting a new game shows the changes applying correctly (I got Tanya model in the assassination mission). I was just starting a new game after years of playing last time and my savefile sits just after you're in the simulation. I'll report if I find some issue, but so far so good.
