I have looked through the Forums seeing if anyone asked for a fix for this issue, I didn't find anything, unless maybe I got the thread name wrong or something. Anyway's I was hoping someone might be able to make a fix to allow the Ronin option that replaces the 80s style so the Ronin can be shown in the cutscenes instead.
Fix For the Ronin gang not showing up in cutscenes

(If you're using Cutscene Patch v1.4, you don't need to install the cutscene files included with Gang Styles+ [eg: "BR10-01.xtbl", etc.].)

The Saints Gang Styles are a little tricky to mod because of how they're hard coded to be swapped in-game by the Gang Customization system. You can't just edit their "_pre.xtbl" file to use another character and have Cutscenes and Action Nodes work.
The only way is to trick the game into thinking that it's still loading the 80s Gang Style models, but it's actually something else. ie; You need to rename all the files for the character you wish to replace the Gang Style with to match the file names of that Gang Style.
Because character Variants are often unnecessarily specified in cutscene files, the replacements won't work with Vanilla cutscenes because the names of the Variants in their .cvtf files are different to what's specified in the cutscene files. Cutscene Patch gets rid of those Variants specified in cutscene files for Saints gang members, so replacements should work without needing to edit their .cvtf files.
Yes it is bloody complicated. So, here you go. I've also renamed the Variants so they should work with Vanilla cutscenes too, and I've included versions of the .cvtf files which don't use the bike helmets. Enjoy!

The process is similar to NPCs. You need the Vehicle Cruncher from Shaundi's Secret Stash.thanks so muchbtw if i wanted to change my gang vehicles and make them drive the ronin vehicles how would i do that and what tools do i need?
- Edit the .xtbl file for the vehicle you want to modify (eg: CAR_2DR_EXOTICSPORTS01.xtbl).
- Then copy it into the "tables" folder, along with the matching "_cust" file (eg: car_2dr_exoticsports01_cust.xtbl) for that vehicle (both are required, even if you only edited one).
- Then run the sr2_vehicle_table_crunch.exe via the .bat file I've attached to this post to build a new .cvtf for the vehicle (eg: car_2dr_exoticsports01.cvtf). You will need to edit the .bat file to include the names of the files you're working with before running it.
(I've had to upload the .bat as a .txt file. Just change the extension to .bat.)
Here is a list of internal names for each vehicle. The edits you'll want to make in your case are to the "gang_saints" Variants, as those are the ones used in Gang Customization.
