Yeah I just got that response from the UL forums. not just that, i was putting it all in the sandbox folder. Thanks

I really cant seem to figure why it wont work. Its just ignoring any changes i make, even tiny ones.

Thanks for the speedy response

I thought you may have hit the nail in the head with the XML2BMD thing (its more or less the only thing you suggested that I hadnt tried in some way). but sadly no. Ive followed exactly as you explained but when I load up the game the changes i made are not there. it seems its simply using the .pak and ignoring my files.

Just to clarify the lib folder is directly in the same folder that the .pak file came from. (the sandbox folder)

Should i maybe be changing the character.xml in the core game folders and not just the sandbox/breakdown one?

Thanks again

Helped a lot, thanks. Now i seem to be having other problems. I created a new topic asking for help there.

Hi,
I just extracted the BreakdownC.pak, made a few changes, and tried to load up the game.
It crashed after clicking to start a new game.

I tried making a .pak file of the folders that were extracted. same thing happened.

I replaced the old BreakdownC.pak (backup), left the extracted folders in the folder too, loaded it up and it worked fine. However my changes were not present.

The problem happens even if i simply just extract the BreakdownC.pak, replacing it with the created folders, and running it, so my changes have nothing to do with the problem.



Does anybody have any idea what is preventing it from working, what am i doing wrong?
Thanks

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
