SPOILERS Saints Row 4 Morph And Homies Mod

It was my dream too :p The morphing still wrecks your save though lol
Well you can change the color of Shaundidptest's clothes in the character.xtbl file. You have to use your own color palette: For example I use this one "npc_color_palette" (I don't remember in which mod I got it), which has an entry for shaundidptest. The entry in the character.xtbl will look like that: <Color_Palette>npc_color_palette</Color_Palette>
I summoned shaundidptest as a homie and it worked great. But when I want to morph into shaundidptest the colors don't change. Any ideas why?

idk
maybe cuz it is an player character and it doesn't work?
 
Yeah maybe. I think this change of color_palette has to take place in another file to make it work but I don't know where
 
Some thoughts about the NPCs not working...

I've been looking at what was inside all the npc files into the characters.vpp_pc once extracted. I've come to the conclusion that all the NPCs currently working with the morphing lack one file: namecharacter.sim_pc
If you look at this thread it seems that this file is responsible for the animation of the clothes during the simulation (and more inportantly simulated bones of the character skeleton could be inside too).
I tried several things with the characters which didn't work:
For example, I unpacked npc_Kinzie.str2_pc, deleted the kinzie.sim_pc and packed it again in a new npc_Kinzie.str2_pc. Then I updated the character_containers.asm_pc to match with this new stream file (thanks to Minimaul's tools).
Then, when I tried to morph as Kinzie the game wasn't crashing anymore but I got an invisible character and I coudn't make it move.
I also tried to add npc_Shaundi's sim_pc file to the saints_female_shaundidptest.str2_pc and rebuilt it. While I was able to morph into shaundidptest before, now I couldn't and the game crashed.
All these things make me think the problem is somehow related to this sim_pc file... but how to bypass it?


Also, when you delete a sim_pc file, you can't even call the character as a homie, so it's must be a pretty important file.

I can't think of another way of dealing with these sim_pc files right now, or if I'm following a false lead lol

If someone has a brilliant idea, I would be glad to hear it

That is some good things to know, but that means that we can't morph into many npcs . So the problem is that the sim_pc file is connected with another file, the rig_pc file . So if you want try to delete sim_pc file, find another rig_pc file that don't need a sim_pc file .
 
And here's a list of many working characters (It's not complete for the moment) :
npc_alqaeda_male_alqaedamilitia
npc_alqaeda_male_militia2
npc_Cyrus_Temple_M00

You could take a rig from one of them .
 
I can't make it work :/ It doesn't crash the game but I always get an invisible character
Funnily enough, there is a <Cloth_Sim> entry for all the characters which don't work in the character_definitions...
