Most of important characters are within first 100 IDs.
Some characters might have several different IDs. Modifying only the one with the lowest ID should be enough. - Switch to the
Asset ID
tab and choose the record with the same ID as your desired character. (e.g.Asset ID #2
for Edelgard). - Explanation of
Asset ID
tab sections:Part 1 Assets
are PRE-timeskip parameters.
Part 2 Assets
are POST-timeskip parameters.
Other
parameters are self-explanatory. - Explanation of
Asset ID
tab parameters:Head Model
sets which head model, including its hairstyle, is used for the character.
Body Model
sets which body model, including its attire, is used for the character.
Face ID
should set which face is used, but from my testing, the face is decided by the head model. Just use the same value as the source has. - Examples of possible changes:
- Use pre/post-timeskip hairstyle after the timeskip - copy
Part 1 Assets
'sHead Model
andFace ID
values intoPart 2 Assets
parameters, and vice versa. - Use NG+ hairstyle pre/post-timeskip - copy a value of
New Game+ Hair Model
intoHead Model
parameter of eitherPart X Assets
sections. - Have Edelgard wear Byleth's clothes - copy the value of
Body Model
from Byleth'sAsset ID
record (e.g.Asset ID #1
) and paste it into Edelgard'sBody Model
parameters (e.g.Asset ID #2
).
- Use pre/post-timeskip hairstyle after the timeskip - copy
File -> Save File.../Save File As...
.
Note
: Both Byleths' Asset ID
records are special because they do not use Part 1 Assets
values.
That's indicated by Head Asset
and Body Asset
parameters having values of -1
. Use Part 2 Asset
values if you wish to use their models.
