Wanting to create a DLC Character with Sonya's mesh and

[Lateralus]

I want to create a DLC Character with Sonya's mesh and Stryker's moves. Is this possible? I need Sonya's mesh for her skeletal structure, and Stryker's moves for the animations/attacks.

Yes, it is possible!

Nice! Do you have any idea what tools I'll need to accomplish this, or maybe a good place to read up on MK modding? The PSXScene thread is very unorganized and over 900 pages, and I can't seem to figure out exactly what each tool does and which ones are outdated.

If anyone has any insight let me know! Can't wait to create some DLC!

All information you can find here: viewtopic.php?f=84&t=8685

Yeah trust me, I've scoured that section, and it's VERY unclear what I actually need, what information is outdated etc. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin. If I wanted to even just simply clone a character into the DLC space, I can't even locate information on that. Am I just stupid and missing something? I feel like I've opened MANY of these threads and there's no clear "Here's how you add a DLC character", there's little explanation imo.

Yeah I'm really lost. I tried to just do a simple Stryker clone in the DLC slot and I'm having no luck with the instructions given with the DLC manager. This is so unclear lol. I need someone to point me in the right direction, the information is so scattered, it's very difficult to piece together the general process for adding a DLC character from vanilla assets.

Ayy, success with cloning Stryker. Now to figure out how to swap his base mesh with Sonya's and then I can reskin that to be Zoey.

Are movesets stored in the CHAR_XXX.xxx files? Would it be easier/better to swap Stryker's movset into Sonya's CHAR file, or Sonya's mesh into Stryker's CHAR file?

Do I need to follow the "reindexing" tutorial, or can I do this: viewtopic.php?f=84&t=8401

And just inject Sonya's model instead?

EDIT: Got it to work with the reindexing tutorial, now I'm interested in other types of mods so I've posted a new thread. Feel free to continue discussion.

EDIT: It only works half the time x_x

Just to prove what I said, I did a quick job.
Study the mesh swap method and will be able to swap almost any mesh in the game.
Adding this method to the mesh mod method, you can really do a lot of things!

Unfortunately, the jiggle physics issue is a huge one for me. I got as far as you did, even to swapping textures, but nothing I tried was capable of applying the physics to the swapped meshes. Very frustrating. I wish we could figure out a way to include the physics. The reason it doesn't work is because the swap method swaps the Skeleton mesh or something iirc. It's been a while, my explanation may be wrong.
