 PED LOADER

 Add new skins to GTA San Andreas without replacing any

=====================================================================

WHAT IT DOES

------------

Normally, to add a new skin you have to replace one of the game's

skins. GTA San Andreas has some free skin numbers (ids) that the game

never uses: Ped Loader prepares all 24 of them, so you can add up to

24 new skins and keep every original one.

The new skins have their own numbers, so you can use them anywhere

skins are chosen by number, for example as actors in DYOM.

You do not need to edit any file: just rename your skin and copy it.

REQUIREMENTS

------------

- GTA San Andreas v1.0

- Mod Loader

INSTALLATION

------------

Copy the whole Ped Loader folder into your modloader folder:

 GTA San Andreas\modloader\Ped Loader\

 readme.txt

 Ped Data\peds.ide

 Ped Model\skin001.dff, skin001.txd ... skin289.dff, skin289.txd

HOW TO ADD A SKIN

-----------------

1. Choose a free slot from the list below (male or female).

2. Rename your skin's files to that slot's name, for example:

 myskin.dff -> skin074.dff

 myskin.txd -> skin074.txd

3. Copy them into Ped Loader\Ped Model\ and replace the files that are

 already there.

4. Start the game: your skin is now number 74.

Every slot comes with a placeholder skin (a copy of an original

pedestrian), so nothing breaks if you use a slot that you have not

filled yet.

FREE SLOTS

----------

 Male slots (walk and talk like a man):

 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 42, 265, 266, 267, 268

 Female slots (walk and talk like a woman):

 65, 74, 86, 119, 149, 208, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 289

NOTE: The ped behaviours are defined in peds.ide. 

You can change them at the end of the file if you know how, 

allowing the skins to behave differently.

NOTES

-----

- DYOM missions: only available for DYOM 8.3.

- More of DYOM: if you make a mission that uses Ped Loader skins,

 the players also need Ped Loader AND the same skins in the same

 slots. Each player fills the slots with their own skins, so share

 your skin files together with your mission, or write in the mission

 description which skins it needs.

- Ped Loader includes a full peds.ide (the original one plus the 24

 new skins). Mod Loader uses it INSTEAD of the game's one, so other

 mods that also change peds.ide will not work together with Ped

 Loader.

- The placeholder skins are copies of two original pedestrians:

 "male01" (male slots) and "bfyst" (female slots).

- Advanced: the way each slot walks, talks and behaves is set in its

 line in Ped Data\peds.ide. You can change it there if you know how.
