Now save and repack up the files and replace the original ones with the modded ones and ta da!ou can now play as roger without replacing any outfits!I may make a version eith a camera for Frank's version of the Roger model.But enjoy this for now.

This was done as a request for chadeichart.

Rodger is lame.

I should also point out that you're doing it wrong, you need to have one rodger model in the outfit and the rest as invisible models.

You're placing the model in the game about 20 times at once and it messes things up like the alpha on the hair.

Everybody keeps doing this despite me telling you it's wrong. Why?

What other way is there to do it that isn't 3DS Max?

This has been the trusted and working method of swaps since the DR2 days.

Freako if you haven't seen my off topic topic you would relise I had a virus problem messing up a lot of stuff.So I kinda still have to sort out my 3ds max with things that are missing.Also I did this quick considering I didn't have lots of time yesterday to do this.So yes I have seen your way of doing it already.And yes I will do it YOUR way when I know 3ds max isn't gonna mess up on me again.And once again,sure it is lame to you.Roger I mean.But but the requested person wanted him so I made this for him.Not everyone is catering to your needs you know Freako.So if all you gonna do is say so and so is lame then post something helpful.I urge you to leave out the so and so is lame and just leave the helpful tip.Okay now that is said,time for some good news.3ds max is starting to work nicely again.Still got some little kinks to fix.So then I'll be able to do models the way Freako mentioned.

[Freako]

You don't need 3ds max to make a blank model, all you need to do is make an empty .txt and rename it to the same as a model file, and BAM! invisible model.

If doing it the way you and everyone else did it has been done since DR2... My god, how could have this gone on for so long without someone noticing the problems it creates?
