Steve's height mod

[Uzi]

EDIT. TO new comers. This height mod is now defunct. I'll leave most of the
post up after zapping most of it as a matter of record. To alter your characters
height you can use now IdolNinjas compilation GOS or you can just
follow the instructions below in Idol's reply to this post.
I found a max value of 1.28 is good for tallest one can go without having
to duck(crouch) to get through doorways.
Bear in mind this can affect your melee combat and you may whiff (miss)
on some fist to face action especially when your opponent decides to crouch to get away.
Leaving the original Steves zip up too but it is not needed. Read followup posts .


Here is a paste of the readme in Steve's pack I found elsewhere:
///Height Change Mod by Steve///

What it does:

- Alters the height of your SR:TT character.

How to install:

Copy the file(s) inside this folder and paste it onto your SR:TT game directory.

*character_definitions.xtbl
*character_height.xtbl

How to uninstall:

Remove the file(s) that came from this folder from your SR:TT game directory.

*character_definitions.xtbl
*character_height.xtbl

Doing this as a public service to other s3 fans, not to 'take' credit . THis mod makes
the game mo fun for me, so why not for others. - Uzi.

Steve did some interesting, but extraneous, things to get his mod working. There is actually an extremely simple solution that does the exact same thing, but with only a small single value change in one file.

* Throw out his mod completely and grab a fresh character_definitions.xtbl file.

* Find the StyleTest_PC entry and only change this one entry:
<Height>1.0</Height>

I did some math and found the values that should match exactly with his height mods (I tested them and compared screenshots to his to confirm) :
<Height>0.75</Height> Child
<Height>0.85</Height> Teen
<Height>0.90</Height> Female
<Height>1.15</Height> Brute

NOTE: His male version had no change

I believe that the entry below StyleTest_PC named StyleTest_PC_MP2 is for your coop partner, so if you want them to be the same height as you simply change the height value there as well.

Uzi, you should be able to simply apply this value change to whatever custom mod you are trying to use like GPO or Gandalf's one and make it work.

Awesome , Thank you very much for clearing that all up!

I fooled arouind with that value and am going to see how well a value of 1.35 holds up.
Scary 7.5 feet to to maybe taller appearing when standing next to standard mark 1 Homey.

Switched over to the Gang Plus one full install for now too. Using the raw xtbls in root .

LOL. I just got around to trying to walk my towering creation from the
Saints Base . She got stuck at the elevator. Seems the game respects collision pretty well. Her head
fails to clear the top of the elevator door by a few inches. Muhaha.
Had to crouch in order to enter.

I'll fool around with 1.35 as a height choice for a bit to see how wacked it makes game play.
I think she may have to be shrunk back to a mere 1.20 maybe.

I think I can fix the camera for the wardrobe btw. I always meant to do that with my sr2 height mods. If it's setup the same way then it should be easy (famous last words.)

Hello I was wondering if anyone of you to can help me out with the height mod? I unpacked the Characters.VPP_PC File, then I unpacked the StyleTest_PC.STR2_PC File. After unpacking this file I didn't have any xtbl files to edit. These are the files I had ------

dorito.ccmesh_pc (CCMESH_PC File)
dorito.cpeg_pc (CPEG_PC File)
dorito.gcmesh_pc (GCMESH_PC File)
dorito.rig_pc (RIG_PC File)

If you could help me that would be great.

 

[[V] IdolNinja]

You're looking in the wrong place. You need to edit character_definitions.xtbl located in misc_tables.vpp_pc.

Quick question, is it possible to fix the height in the cutscenes too? I'm not sure why it resets the height just for the cutscenes.

 

[Tsewe]

I agree with cybergotica, i would also love to find a way around that "issue"
and by the way, thanks for this awesome mod (and tips)
my character got +1000 customization just with the hgeight change

 

[Necrokat]

i'm happy w/ my character's height but is there a way to make random NPC, cops, gangs, spawn with different heights? maybe just randomly? thanks
