Adding new SP characters?

[Surman]

I've made some new skins for SP, versions of the rebel trooper. I've edited the NPC cfg file so I can spawn a rebel wearing the new skin in game.

 

Now what I want to know is how do I get my new NPC to appear in radiant? I assume the sp entities def file will need to be edited. Can I add a check box to the existing rebel NPC that will make it use my skin?

Hey Matt!

 

If you replace the model in the default Rebel entry in NPCS.CFG with your new one, it should make the difference for any default placed Rebels as well. You can also add a new entity entry by opening up the DEF file in Notepad, it's pretty easy to figure out the format, so you shouldn't have any trouble.
