Hello modders, I don't know how active this place still is after all this time, but I hope there are still enough people around to help me. I have a question about the tutorial provided here. I tried to change a character's race to Lizardman by following this tutorial, but every time I try to go to the character select screen on New Game, the game crashes. I can just restore my backups to fix my game so that's no problem, but I still wonder how I can play a Lizardman. I noticed that the guide is pretty old, maybe it's outdated? If not I guess I'm just doing it wrong, but I wouldn't know what I'm doing wrong... I'm using the GOG version of the game and the latest version of the CO8 NC patch. I'm using ProtoEd to edit the protos.tab and HxD as my hex editor. I followed the tutorial to the letter, except I skipped the part about adding spells and stuff to the character, and I searched for a row with "Lizard Man" in stead of "Vrock" which the tutorial uses. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated!
Hurr, I've been trying to do this too -- I'm missing something or it's harder than it seems. Nothing so complex as a vrock, but I can't even get as far as you did. I can, for instance, find the ID's for say, half-orcs and others, but when I search for their hex values as per the tutorial, I get nothing. I'm wondering what's up, because I've double and triple checked my numbers and run through the tutorial over and over very slowly. I wish it were just a simple editor to pop in new player races.
