NPC Model Swap assistance

This is because his hair (and just the hair) is defined as colourable. You can try assigning him no colour palette (go to <Color_Palette> tag in character.xtbl or character_definitions.xtbl and erase it),
or
if the game doesn't allow "no colour palette" to be black you will have to look through npc_color_palette.xtbl and see if there'sa "black" or dark enough palette. Otherwise you may have to create a new palette to match Dex's hair (if you use Voliton's table file editor, it will make a lot more sense; alternatively duplicate from <Palette> to </Palette>, edit the colours to be all 0. Finally make character.xtbl use it.)

Well, I finally did it, I found the generic businessman from SRIV that I want to use for Dex in SRTT, but... It seems if I replace him with Victor (Morningstar) in Gang Customization, his hair is not black, it will be randomized between blonde or brown... What's that all about?

For anyone else wanting to do a Dex mod, the files are "generic_male_businessman14" and the same with "_high". And I've used the color_palette "NPC_HitmanTargets5" in "character.xtbl"

Exactly, sorry; busy with something. Hair_Black_01_SB should be what you're looking for

Thanks, thought it was fully colourable since SRTTR Monica's hair is colourable.
You can find that Hair_Black_01_SB mentioned in character_definitions.xtbl

I can't find the "character_definitions.xtbl" anywhere in the packfiles?

Should be in the misc_tables.vpp_pc

Tell me that does not look like Dex in Moneyshot

 

[3rdStreetSaint 212]

Oh no!

Oh no!

Material issue. Both games are similar, but the material doesn't exist in SRTT so it defaults to an emissive red

This would have been my new favourite outfit for Kinzie... If it weren't for the buggy hair. Her bun is in her chest, and I don't even know what's going on with the bangs.

Sim.pc issue. Go back to my tutorial and find the sim_pc section. Unlike SRIV, sim_pc files are preloaded in another packfile instead of inside the character file in SRTT
