This mod allows the player to swap models of characters mid game.
This does require a model pack. (A model pack is a mod file with DataTables in a specific folder)
There is a Demo Model Pack in the optional files.
=== IMPORTANT ===
BPLoader is required to use the mod.
To open the mod menu open your inventory and press (ctrl + shift + y)
While in this menu press (y + .) to open the advanced menu
=== Installation ===
1. Navigate to where your copy of Code Vein is installed, and go to:
"...\CodeVein\Content\Paks\~mods"
If the "~mods" folder does not exist, create it yourself.
2. Place the the Model-Swapper.pak and BPLoader folder in the ~mods folder.
3. Make a BPLoader Config. If you do not know how, refer to the BPLoader mod description.
=== Uninstallation ===
1. Delete the Model-Swapper.pak file.
2. Delete the ~mods\BPLoader\ModelSwapper.json file.
=== Creating Model Packs ===
== Before Starting ==
This will require previous knowledge of modding code vein
Tools: MyModkit, IV Drip or any other tools should work (I have only used my modkit but the others should work)
== Initial Setup ==
1. Close UE4 if it isn't
2. Place the Content folder from "ModelPackFiles.zip" into your UE4 project folder (This is located in Miscellaneous Files)
3. Then open unreal and go to "Content\BPLoader\ModelSwapper\DataTables"
4. And edit "ModelSwapper_DataTables" to add Character DataTables
== Making Character DataTables ==
The character data tables should be made with the ModelSwapperStruct structure
If it doesn't show up open the file for it, which is located at Content\BPLoader\ModelSwapper\Structures\ModelSwapperStruct
doing this should make the option show up
When making the character data table change the default setting to true for model you want to get swapped
DO NOT set the same model to be default in different data tables
YOU CAN can have a default model be in other data tables as long as its not set to default in the other data tables
YOU CAN have multiple default models in a data table
== Notes ==
DataTables
If you leave the model name blank it will default to the row name. (This is to save time when adding skins)
Compatibility
I haven't tested my mod with models outside of characters so things like accessories might work
Requirements for a model to be swapable
Has to have collision somewhere on the actor (This only applies to automatically switching the model)
The model must be a skeletal mesh
The models have to share a skeleton (If they don't animations won't show up)
Most characters can swap models but animations might look broken.
Issues
If accessories, hair, etc don't refresh properly while in the avatar menu message me and send me your model pack so I can update ModelSwapper to
support them.
