Title: swapping Chocobo models/colors?
Post by: Demarest on 2007-11-02 06:30:18
The short: Is it possible to swap the gold and purple chocobos?

The long: After going through the trouble of creating a gold chocobo, it just looks like a more saturated yellow chocobo. Meanwhile, my 3000:1 LCD makes the purple chocobo look SO gorgeous. I'd really like to swap the two so that joe average chocobo jockey gets the gold and I get to romp around the world (and on the track) with a purple one. Possible? I only ask because there are several mods that seem to replace one model with another. I'm only talking two models that are already in game. Like maybe it's as simple as swapping two pointers in a text file. Wishing thinking, I know.

Thank you for your time.

i myself want to make all the chocobos black as motorcycles look weird when they're gold and yellow as well as other such colours. does anyone know how to change the colours?

It's a lighting effect from what i think.

Many views, few replies. Perhaps I should elaborate; I'm willing to do whatever it takes. I just need to know first that it's possible and second about how to go about it. The only modding I've done myself was modifying the map files so that I wouldn't get zapped while going through the Whirlwind Maze. Even then, I was told how to go about doing it. I wouldn't even know where the chocobo models are stored, let alone how to go about swapping them. With as many mods as there are that swap/replace models in the game, SOMEBODY has to know, eh? I appreciate any effort offered.

well, for the field, world map, and minigame, the chocobos share the same model. (only exception is battle) how the game determines the colour is currently unknown. it is probably written somewhere for the colour target, but i can't find it.  :cry:
