What the title says. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to do this.
I know Mr X is "em6200" and that the Birkin I want is "em7000" (or maybe 7001?), I considered simply swapping these files/just the mesh files - however when I look in my game directory I don't have an "enemies" folder in my "characters" folder, just "players" - so I'm already confused.
If someone could point me in the right direction for achieving this, it'd be a great help. I mean, if people can make him become Thomas the Tank Engine, surely someone can make him Birkin (I'm not too worried about how the animation looks, I just want to get some cool screenshots/footage of Birkin stalking us)
Thanks

Two way this can be done, replace the models only. Replace the prefab for the enemy. I've tried both with some interesting results. If you replace the prefab, the game basically spawns birkin instead of X in scripted events. The good about this is that he sounds, moves and acts like birkin, even says "help meee" right at the start. This is about the best way for screenshots i believe. Flaws of it is that he can't go through walls, and once you shoot him enough he bugs in place. I also tried G2 and what's good about him since in his fight you can only knock him down (just like normal X) he doesn't bug out no matter how many times you shoot him, he will take a knee for a while and get back up, but his size makes him get stuck on some of the geometry and walk in place, if i got closer to him though he'd attack me and in the process free himself. This one still can't go through walls The other way is to only swap the meshes. This works because the enemy thinks it's still X, so he sounds and walks like X, can go through walls, doesn't die... etc The flaws of this method is that it feels too much like X. But it works!
Also: He packs one hell of a punch!!

This is all AMAZING - the mesh swap is what I specifically had in mind and works for what I wanted it for, and tbh Mr X with a G skin still isn't too immersion breaking - the way he walks to you and throws that punch is JUST as terrifying. The first approach though, replacing the prefabs, is an incredibly fun idea. I'm amazed that you did it and were able to essentially spawn a boss in a place where we don't normally fight that boss, AMAZING - Makes me think back to the Extreme Battle mode haha Thank you so so much, I'm so grateful

Awesome! Would there be a way to do it so it's only like this in Claire mode? ) I think this could be a pretty successful mod tbh. :-)

Sorry to bump an old thread at this point but I thought it would be more useful than making a new one; is there any way to do the reverse? Replace Birkin's first form with Mr X?
