Ok I got it figured out FOR REAL!!!!

In your Program Files/Dreamcatcher/Dungeon Lords file there is a folder called: grn_model

in it is the setups for the different looks of the characters

I SUCCESSFULLY just changed the Human Females hair to long and red

I did it by changing the file named: PCHF_Hair_PT_blonde.GR2
which is the default Human Female hair
to the file PCHF_Hair_Long_red.GR2

you also have to change the file hair_half to the hair_half that corresponds with the hair that you changed the default to......

for example: if you change the default Human Female hair from: PCHF_Hair_PT_blonde.GR2
to
PCHF_Hair_Long_red.GR2

then you must also change the default Human Female half hair from: PCHF_Hair_PT_blonde_half.GR2
to
PCHF_Hair_Long_red_half.GR2

for it to match with a helmet on or off......otherwise the hairstyles will change when you put on or take off a helmet

also the default Dwarf hair is:
PCDM_BeardHairAbrown.GR2

happy character creating

I will keep posting as I learn more

please post all your discoveries here

That's great! Please post when you find anything more.

It means that the mechanism is there, so it's possible that we will get appearance changes in one of the upcoming patches.

I can't find find the dafault hair for the Elf Male.

I have testet all PCEM hair files (by editing a "-bla" after the file name

) but in the game the elf hasn't changed at all.
Could it be that the short blonde hair he has is included in the Basemodel file?
Or what have I done wrong?

Edit: I have just tried simply to delete all files beginning with PCEM_hair but it still didn't change anything...

Edit 2: I just read your postings in the Dreamcacher-forum. So it's really as i thought and the hair styles of the elf and human males are already included in the "Basemodel" and cannot be changed... Arg!

Yeah......unfortunatly that is my conclusion

As far as I can tell the only thing that can be changed in this manor is the hair and only for the Elf Female, Human Female, and Dwarf Male.....I have tried changing other things like the look of the face and such to no avail......

But one new thing I am trying is to see if you can play as an NPC such as a Minotaur......most of the animations are there, but if they arn't in the backveiw then it might not work.....

I will keep working and see what else can be changed and keep everyone up to date....

Hopefully they fix it all in patch 1.4 and all my work will be for nothing.....
but if it worked the way it is supposed to.....that would be even better

Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore in 1.3 - they've changed it themselves

So no hair changing anymore. Hope they get it done in v1.4.
