I wanna learn how to make a NPC to Player\Boss swap (play as an npc)

So i'm familiar with how to get into xtbl files using notepad++ and what not but idk how to actually unpack files to create the xtbl file so because of that I just have other mods from ppl and just used the file from those mods to make edits.. now what I want to do as the title says is make the main character aka the boss turn into any npc idk which files to edit exactly so im lost, I've seen someone swap kinzie into the boss in this mod for the regular STT, and I noticed they made it so the stag helmet turned into her head and the panda suit into her body...does anyone know how to make something similar or teach me how? ( I don't mind learning how to do it)

Not sure if it's really possible, never seen a model replacer mod for Remastered... just retextures using SpecialK

dang I was hoping it would be possible considering model swapping for npc's works . So even changing the models for customization items into npc models won't work then :C.
 
This was something I wanted to touch on. For Saints row 2 I was able to "control" specific npc by merdging my player's memories with them. Controlling them was an issue as its different than using their skin models. (And game crashes shortly).
Saints Row Gat Out of Hell has an real model swapper (to play as Kinzie or Gat) so reverse engineering the code may be useful as it uses the same engine & codes as SR3/SR4.

That actually sounds interesting its the first I've heard of a real model swap so that's awesome, unfortunately tho im a complete beginner and dont have the smarts to figure out how to reverse engineer the games code lool (hopefully someone can attempt to do it)

Cheat Engine, HxD, PE Explorer are useful to start. May try with CE soon.

In Gat Out Of Hell's case it's actually full size body suit that replace Playa's mesh. XxLegendaryBossxX's attempt of using npc morph partially works (using mech suit morphing code), but no head.
Still, your approach is interesting to try.

Seems I was wrong perhaps.
