Starting over

There are several mods you can get to make your character a different race, I use one to play as a deathclaw.

You can use the official editor to edit your recruits pool as well.

allan255,

No idea on the bug. To change portraits, refer to the thead pointed by Slider. Basically, all you have to do is to locate which original game character's portrait you want to overwrite, and get your appropriate sized pic (can't remember the exact dimensions, try downloading some pics from the archives of this site, the ones by Hotsalza are pretty cool, Senor Deluxe's pics are if you want the comical faces), and just rename them to the appropriate "CORE_rec_hmXX" or hfXX, whatever the case may be.

Check out Iceycat's Tutorial for more details. That's what I used.

Changing your characters to be ghouls, DCs, etc. needs some tweaking. You can do this simply by creating a new .ent file, hit the "Make" and "Level" buttons to change the stats and the character's level, mess around as before to get your "desired" character, then just specifying that he/she is a DC, ghoul, etc... you can find this under the -Actor- tab, IIRC. You'll see the image on the right change into the appropriate sprite to confirm your race-change.

Hope this helps! Enjoy!


Off topic:
CTB rocks!!! TB is just for "precision control", when you want that step in, fire, step out effect. CTB is for that great ambush effect! 8)

I got a gut feeling CTB wastes more ammo tho... can anyone confirm this?

[TheReaper]

Yes, CTB makes you lose more ammo and increses the chance of innocnets being shot. TB you can be sure of where you shoot and who.

Yea, but CTB is more like real life.
