Okay, let's get this straight. This was started before my break
and probably needs some work. I have two sections done,
which are just the first two. I might be adding to it and I
looked over many big guides, similar to this, at the time so I
tried to use verbal directions, but easy. Pictures probably won't
ever be in here...because I'm lazy and don't have the time.
At my current enthusiasm, this won't be done anytime soon, and,
I'm reading it to re-learn how to do these things anyway...
Try to enjoy!
Swapping the Hero's Model
<Requires FableExplorer (FE)>
Overview: So you've beaten the game, once, twice, 35 times? Playing as the same Hero is boring over and over isn't it? Don't you want to play as Thunder, or Jack Of Blades? Well, you can't. Haha! Just kidding, you can. Just follow these simple steps.
1.Open up FE
2.In the game.bin, search for the section "CREATURE"
3.Click the "+" option, and scroll down the the Hero (1470)
4.Again, click the "+" option and this time, scroll down to the "Graphic" section
5.See the "Model ID (or something similar)"? Good, now minimize it
6.Follow the same steps for the character you want to be,in here, we'll be using Thunder
7.In the "CREATURE" section of the "game.bin" scroll down until you see RIVAL_HERO_THUNDER(_TLC)
8.Click the "+" option once more and scroll down the the "Grpahic" section again
9.Find the "Model ID (or something similar)" and copy that number [7666](crtl + c = copy, crtl + v = paste) and exit out of Thunder's entry
10.Open up the Hero entry again (1470 if you exited it) and go to the "Graphic" section yet again.
11.Go to the "Model ID (or something similar)" and copy over the Hero's ID (4299).
When you "Save mods and run Fable" your hero will be Thunder, but for this to work properly, you have to be wearing nothing, have a "Clean Shave", "Remove Tatoos", and be "Bald".
Swapping a Weapon's Model
<You Need FE For this>
Overview: Follow these simple steps to get your Iron Longsword to look like any other weapon.
[NOTE]The Summoner's Sword doesn't have the correct "helpers" and so the Hero holds it wrong. Don't bother with this model.
1.Very similar to Swapping the Hero's Model, open the game.bin
2.Scroll down the the OBJECT(S) section
3.Scroll donw to the weapons (near the bottom, just look until you see "Iron" and whatnot)
4.Click the "+" option upon opening it
5.Scroll donw to the "Graphic"section and find the "Model ID"
6.Minimize
7.Find your weapon, in here, we'll be using Nostro's Sword, so scroll down a little further until you see it
8.Click the "+" option and scroll down to the "Graphic" section again
9.Copy that ID
10.Exit Nosto's Sword, and Maximize the Iron Longsword again
11.Paste the ID over the current one
12.Lastly, since Nostro's Sword is much bigger (though not all weapons are) go to the "Scale" part of the "Graphic" section of the Iron Longsword. Enter "0.8" instead of "1"
You now have Nostro's Sword (Without the name + description
Swapping the Hero's Eye
<FableExplorer is needed!!!>
1.(Follow steps 1-4, but go to EyeGraphic, just under "Graphic"
2.Minimize the box
3.Find another eye you may be interested in
4.Follow the same steps towards finding it
5.Copy and paste it back on the HERO's and SHAMWOW! It's there.
NOTE: Some eyes are big and silly when on the hero so resizing and bone work may be needed
NOTE: Sorry if this section is short at the moment, I will go back over it later
Asking Questions
Using the "Private Message" function, "PM" me a question. I'll usually answer it fast, but i'm not on 24/7 you know! I might not know the answer right away, because i've forgotten it, and i might not even know the answer.
FableExplorer
The basis of all mods. Everything is done here that isn't tng. editing, or bone editing.
AlbionExplorer
Basically an EagleEyeView of Albion. Better for the new modders to tng. editing.
ChocolateBox
This is the tng. editor in a 3D view. For the advanced users though, don't try this.
