    Hello all. First off, thanks for making this great mod!

    Now for my question. I noticed a thread on why NPC height and weight aren't shown and was wondering if there was a way to change the height of player made characters beyond the max. and min. allowed by the game?

    Is there some file that can be edited somehow? I noticed in one TOEE character editor, they had a field for weight and height, but I guess it doesn't work.

    Thanks, and thanks again for all the hard work

    Those are game-engine presets that aren't editable. Maybe something in Temple.dll, not sure. You can change the size in protos and percentage of normal. Like Fruella is 150% normal size and large. She is a big woman. Meleny looks like a midget next to her.

    I see, thanks. I found the protos file and noticed that each NPC has something like "size_medium" and a number below it, usually 100. Is this the percentage that you're talking about? Sorry if this is explained else were, I can't find any mention of it.

    Also, this file wouldn't contain any player created characters then I suppose, eh?

    Thanks again.

    Column 6 is percentage of normal size and column 24 is size. 100% is normal and 150 would be 50% bigger for the characters in-game size. 24 is adjustable from tiny to gargantuan. A 150%, large/huge settings makes a really big person. Looks kind of awkward in-game tho. Meleny as big as a hill giant? Maybe.
