About this mod

Allows you to play the entire game as Wrench. Includes Wrench's voice, his outfits and robots.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
The mod has two versions - masked Wrench and unmasked Wrench, each of which also has two versions. There is a version with Marcus' voice replaced with Wrench's voice, and there is a version without the voice replacement.
Why it was done: with Wrench's voice you can't talk to people in the open world (friends in HQ, story characters outside of the cutscenes, etc.). It doesn't affect the walkthrough, these dialogs are just skipped, and the missions move on to the next stage. And it doesn't affect the cutscenes and the group voice chat - there will be Marcus' voice and everything will sound correct. So this is not a critical problem, but I still decided to separate the two versions into two more versions.
↳ What the "Wrench's voice" contains is written in the mod details.

Installation: put the files from the archive into [your WD2 folder]\data_win64
You can either continue an existing game or start a new one. 
  • In the first case, when you first load the game with the mod, you will see that Wrench has Marcus' clothes overlaid on him. This should be removed, go to wardrobe, in the Dedsec section, and select any part of the "empty" clothes and click "equip kit".
  • In the second case you will have everything correct from the beginning of the game. What to do in the mission, where you need to buy pants: buy any pants, then go to the wardrobe tab and put on a character "invisible pants" from the Dedsec section. 
↳ About Wrench's clothes and what you can wear on him, written in the mod details.

Mod details:
  • Wrench's voice. This includes: phrases when stealing vehicles, petting dogs, various sounds (when falling, hitting, etc.), and also some emotes. Not all emotes work correctly with the voice! Sometimes Wrench is just silent.

    Maybe he was recorded less lines than Marcus, or maybe they don't play back for some other reason, I don't know. But it's not a mod issue.
  • Wrench's outfits. 3 Wrench's outfits have been added to the Dedsec vending machine in the "Tops" category. They have unique icons. WARNING! Change these outfits only in the vending machine, because they are not displayed in wardrobe!

    I investigated this problem and it turned out to be because his costumes have a different PartType than the clothes available to Marcus. When I tried to change the PartType, it didn't work the way I wanted it to, so I decided not to change anything and this problem would not be fixed. 
  • You can use Shuffler abilities and emotes from the DLC costumes (policeman, fireman and medic) on Wrench. You need to use the top part of the corresponding costume(not the full costume!). The tops of these costumes have been added to the Dedsec vending machine, but if you don't have the "No Compromise" dlc, then the medic, police and firefighter clothing will not be available.

    This is probably because they are in the dlc archive, which is downloaded only if you bought the dlc. That sucks!
  • Added Wrench's dance from the DLC mission "Automata". The gopnik dance has been replaced by this dance, you need to wear a Bratva jacket(added to the vending machine) to play it.
    Spoiler:

    This is done because the standard dance is too short and the animation cuts off, and so far I haven't found how to fix it. 
  • How to use the items from the two points above with any Wrench's clothing: put the costume you want on Wrench, then close the category and then put on what you want.
  • Wrench can't wear the clothes available to Marcus, but in general you can put glasses on unmasked Wrench. Well, technically you can wear them, but they look incorrect. Also, sometimes Marcus' clothes can cause a texture overlay on Wrench's mask. So I highly recommend not putting Marcus' clothes on Wrench.
  • The forced emotes that were in the "Motherload" mission have been added to the mask. Other emotes most likely cannot be added.
  • Wrench Jr. and Wrench III have been added to the Car on Demand. They are in the motorcycle category. WARNING! When you control robots, you cannot exit by pressing Esc! You can: 1) destroy the robot in any way available in the open world; or 2) before using the robot, call the quadcopter or jumper and then switch to it, and then press Esc.
  • The profile has been changed to Wrench's profile. They are different for Wrench with and without mask, just like in the game itself. However, in the first mission before changing the profile there will still be Marcus' profile. 
  • Some cutscenes in the first mission are now skippable. These are: 1) the cutscene where Sitara, Josh, and Wrench discuss Marcus; 2) the cutscene where Marcus leaves the ctOS building and the subsequent video about ctOS(it's one video file); 3) the beach party; 4) arriving at HQ.

    I had problems with the other cutscenes, so I decided not to touch them. But all the other cutscenes aren't that long, so...



I also want to mention:
  • For those who do not know: mods disable online in the game. Therefore, you cannot play online with this mod.
  • Wrench's Swelter Skelter costume has a piece of skin sticking out the back, it's a bug in the game itself, not the mod.
  • Some of the cutscenes will still have Marcus in them, because they are pre-rendered.
  • In some missions, you'll hear some of Wrench's phrases that weren't there. These are Marcus' replacement phrases, and without this change the missions would not be passable.

    These missions: "W4tched" - the moment where you have to take Miranda. "Caustic Progress" - the moment of entering the lab with Lenni.
  • Some missions will have Marcus' hands in them, although they're not even pre-rendered cutscenes. 
    Spoiler:

    These missions: "Eye for an Eye" - the moment with finding Horatio. "Moscow Gambit" - the moment of kidnapping the protagonist by the Bratva. Ugh, this is a pretty annoying issue that seems so easy to fix, but crashes the game. For some reason Ubisoft made a separate entry for Marcus' hands, which will cause the game to crash if it is edited. And even if the entries that relate to it are edited, the game will crash. It's horrible!
  • The light on the stairs at HQ blinks.
    Spoiler:

    It's because of entitylibrary_rt.fcb, although I haven't changed any lighting settings. Not such a big problem, and it doesn't seem to happen anywhere else.
  • If you have the "Glam Pack", clothes from this pack will not be displayed when using this mod. I had to use this set to fix an important bug, although I didn't have to use it specifically, I just chose it... It's not a big deal since Wrench can't wear Marcus' clothes anyway, just thought to warn you.
