12 New Optional Gangs

I was on a roll and modded in 12 new optional gangs tonight; Business Exec, Nuclear, Cowboy, Hippie, Scientist,  Construction, Prisoner, Firefighter, Judge, Real Pimps and Hos, Sports fans, and Beach.
You can check out some screenshots of them in my gallery.

    I nearly cried with joy when I saw the exec style.
    And another annoying question, what general area would I have to look in to change gang vehicles?

      @OMGFitsST6
      Gang vehicles are defined in gang_customization.xtbl. You’ll see a first section of cars right under the gang styles. Ignore that and keep scrolling down until you come to 4 sections of cars. Each section (in order) represents a tier of cars that you unlock through game progression. The Bottom would be the final tier once you own 66% of the hoods.

      You can match up the code name to the car here:

      I also added in a cheat code for npc_doorman morph in GotR for you and your buddy slicynon. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to work as an actual gang style (they are all invisible similar to the problem with npc_hotdog and npc_gyros.) There must be something special about them. I’ll try and figure it out.

    Thanks again Ninja. :)
    And the doorman gang style was more or less our failed attempt at getting a decent looking bodyguard/secret agent/college educated people causing havoc gang style.

    hey idol,

    imo it would be cool (assuming its not hard to do) if you told us how to do this so we can go and do whatevers, add in anything we want

      @Proto
      I’m always happy to share any info or help that I can.

      Changing a gang type is incredibly simple. Each gang type has 4 characters. A male and female soldier, and a male and female lieutenant. The first thing to do is grab the npc_*_cha.xtbl files from common.vpp_pc of the gang you want to change. I’ll use the Sporty gang as an example:
      npc_s_sporty_female_lt_cha.xtbl
      npc_s_sporty_female_soldier_cha.xtbl
      npc_s_sporty_male_lt_cha.xtbl
      npc_s_sporty_male_soldier_cha.xtbl

      Open the first file, and you will see 4 Filename tags with the npc as part of it:
      Model: npc_s_sporty_female_lt.cmeshx
      Morph: pc_s_sporty_female_lt.morphx
      Pcm: npc_s_sporty_female_lt.pcmx
      Cloth_sim: npc_s_sporty_female_lt.simx

      Simply look up the name of the npc and change those 4 to the name of the npc you want it to be (leaving the extensions as is.) Then do the same for each of the other _cha files for that gang type.

      If the character you are using is male, and the character he is replacing is female, you can also change the Anim_Set from GFL1 to GML1. This works in reverse as well. GFL1 is the female animations for walking and GML1 are the male ones.

      For future reference, nothing I do with SR2 is ever a secret. Always feel free to ask me about any of the mods and how they work. :)

    I seem to have issues transitioning between gang styles. I’ll pick barbershop, and everybody will show up as ninjas, even though they were never that gang style.

      @Jon
      Sometimes they show up that way temporarily in the crib but straighten out once you are outside. Are they doing that outside as well?

      It could also be an issue with certain gang types. I put that all together at 4am and was pretty bleary eyed.

      @Jon
      Oh, I screwed up that menu. It’s referencing a variable that doesn’t exist. Yeah, it would have problems. Fixing now.

      EDIT:
      You’ll need to remove all lines with:
      SET GANG_BOUNCER_MOD=none

      ^simply delete the above line (should be in 4 places in the bat) and it should work fine.

    I dunno, hadn’t tried leaving the HQ.

    Is there any way I can change the selection of gang vehicles?I know the vehicle codes and how to mod them now, but I can’t seem to figure out a way of changing the list of gang vehicles short of editing practically every variable in the gang customization XTBL.

    • IdolNinja says:

      @OMFGitsST6
      That doesn’t make sense. You simply need to add an additional entry to one of the 4 lists in gang_customization.xtbl depending on when you want it to unlock as selectable. Then go to your in-game gang customization and select it as one of the three cars your gang drives. It’s one single change for a car. Dead simple.
