»H}{RW« - Editing Your
Character
This is a basic editing (quick start) tutorial
to show you how to change your name, skin, and a weapon template
(Stats, Skins and Gold
HERE). You can change
any armor template
helmet, boot,
glove or
weapon to be anything you want.
Tool you need to
download first.
TANK VIEWER - needed to view and
extract your chr files for editing.
TANK CREATOR -
needed to
recompile your character.
SKRIT PAD
- nice notepad tool to edit
character files.
• Start tank
viewer and hit "Open". Change "Files of Type" to all files and browse to
"My Documents\Dungeon Siege\Save" folder and select the character you want to edit.



• Make a folder somewhere on your PC named
MyChar. A good place is right on your C drive. Use windows explorer to
navigate to your C drive. Right click, select New Folder and make the
name "My Char"


• Close Windows Explore and go back to Tank
Viewer. Hit "Extract" in tank viewer and make
sure "All" is selected under the "Files to Extract" section and select
the folder MyChar that you just made.
• Hit the "Extract" button and close tank
viewer.

• Start SkritPad and go to File > Open and
browse to the MyChr folder you made.
• Change file of Type to "All Files (*.*)"
and open up party.gas

• Now you see a bunch of code in skrit pad.
This is your character file. Look for screen_name = and change the name
of your character to anything you want.

• Now hit CrtL and F to do a search. Search
for melee. Hit F3 to find the next one. This is your current melee
weapon in hand when you start the game.

• Look for the line just below this "template_name
= xxxxxxx_xxxxx" and change it to
template_name = st_un_axe_str; You will now have an "Axe Staff" in hand when you
start the game. Weapon Templates are
here if you
want to change it to something else.


• Now scroll down to the bottom and look
for [skins]. Change the 0=xxxxx_xxxx and the 1=xxxxx_xxxxx
to 0 = b_t_lc01_rvr_fall-top-static; and 1 =
b_t_lc01_rvr_fall-top-static; for a moving lava skin.

• Go to file and save.
• Now start tank creator and for the source
select the folder MyChr that you made earlier.

• For the output change "Save as Type" to
all files and browse to My Documents\Dungeon Siege\Save folder and
select the character you just changed.


• Hit the Create button and you should see
a black box pop up. Hit any key to close it when it's done.

•
Host a multiplayer game to see if the
changes worked.
• To change your stats to level 160/150 see
this tutorial.

• Notice the Name Change, Lava Skin and Axe
Staff.
