Luclin models...a poll

I really hate to do this, probably because I'll end up getting besieged by others who want to have the same thing that I have on P99. But clueless nimrods like Kutter have this odd effect upon me: namely that I can't resist any opportunity to help them make total asses of themselves.

Have a good look, Sparky:

I have been telling everyone, for three pages now, that I have not simply been arguing on my own behalf. This isn't about me. I already have what I want. I was arguing on behalf of all of the other players who have very sensibly requested that they be granted a Luclin model option. See... unlike Kutter, I'm not a selfish little dickhead. Nor do I lie about things, just to score points in some silly internet argument. And that screenshot, which I took not more than 20 minutes ago, proves it. That's my lowbie wizzy alt (see the red arrow?), standing in the EC tunnel and surrounded by other P99 players. And as you can see, she is the Luclin high elf model... right down to her see-through skirt and her over-sized hooters.

I just wanted to be helpful those who were trying to make some sense to the admin. I was not trying to get into a flame war with jerks like Kutter.

Mind explaining how you have done this? I am sure there are others as well as myself interested.

One question tho, why is it that only your character is the high-elf female luclin model, when there are other high-elf females in the picture?

The injector works by isolating specific models and textures in a given rendered frame and then replacing ONLY those models and textures that I choose to inject. Hence I could change all of the models, some of the models, or none of the models. In this case, I have only bothered to dig out the model and texture set for my own toon.

The way it works is basically like this: the game renders a particular frame and then sends it to the video card. The "conduit" between the two is DirectX. The injector intercepts the frame after it has been handed to DirectX by the game engine. It then looks for the CRC values of all of the models and textures in that particular frame. Each model being rendered has its own unique ID. After I identify which values belong to my specific character, the injector is then set up (using an XML file) to always replace that particular model and texture set in each successive frame that is sent to the video card. The result: my character has a Luclin model, but nobody else's does. And since all of this takes place after the actual game engine has done its thing, it has absolutely no effect whatsoever upon anyone else in the game. It is entirely restricted to my own screen.

If I wanted to replace ALL of the characters on the screen, then it's a bit more work to set it up... but very do-able. It's just a lot of extra hassle that I don't feel like bothering with. Also, the nature of the injector is such that it needs to be set up anew each time the game is loaded. Most people would probably get confused by its operation, so for now it is just my own little personal toy.

Me and some fellow modders first got into this method back when we were trying to create a fully-nude mod for Age Of Conan... but that's another whole can of worms.

Anyway, the admin has made it clear that this topic is not going to be resolved in our favor. So I'm gonna bow out now... and wish everyone happy hunting. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not quite done, Rastusface?

Guess you need to stop right now, lol.

You haven't figured out yet that this is what I've wanted all along, have you? Talk about not being the brightest crayon in the box. Made me S P E L L I T O U T, AGAIN!

Now you've spent yet another post and probably 2 hours of your time coming up with yet ANOTHER less than flawless personal attack on me, instead of helping people here. I called you a bonehead; you're the one who went off the loop with it.

So I reiterate:

Bonehead.

[Rasterburn]

Doesn't matter. No matter what, I still win.

[Kutter]

You don't win till you post a link for your workaround.

:P

[Rasterburn]

There is no link. It belongs to me.

But if you are actually interested in learning about such things, then you might start here:

I'd imagine it would probably be something more along the lines of:

Amirite?

Unless everything is client-side. Then it'd be a bit harder. Be much easier if you were more specific.

[Molitoth]

I liked a couple of them....

Iksar and High Elf.... but most of the rest were trash.

Negative. That short article talks about how to modify the textures within the actual game files -- permanently altering them. I am not doing it that way.

@Rasterburn - So you actually wrote the code yourself for the DirectX Injection or did you find a 3rd party program that allowed you to do it?
