Modding the random survivors?

There is a lot of info and help for modding the main characters. But I'm looking specifically for help with changing how the random survivors work.

1stly i want to replace a specific voice with another. purely a copy, paste and rename job, big one though it may be I cannot seem to locate the audio files for the dialogue for the random survivors.

2ndly is there a way to access and change the stats and appearance of specific random survivors?

Thanks

The randoms are oh so fun to work with.

I wont go through how to get access to the file, the info is in these forums.
But the file you are looking for is libs/class3/rts/characters.xml

If you are using notepad++ (which you should be), open the file in that. Go to the top, view, fold all. This will make life simpler.

You should be able to easily see the hero's, they have their own thing.
The others..those are the randoms. The ones with the HUGE name lists.

Thats whered you mess with them.

Now i havent personally messed with looks/voices but...
Considering...
This mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/stateofdecay/mods/7/?
And this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/stateofdecay/mods/6/?
Exist..that tells me that it might be possible to do what you are asking.

And you are right, messing with the randoms is a big job and its one you might not be able to test easily as there are more than a few randoms and unless you find the 'right' one..yeh.

Hope this helps.
