Renaming Your New Shepard First, a few notes. 1) Always back up your saves before attempting this, especially if its a character Im not hosting, 2) I found the directions below on a website. I am not supporting it, please dont ask me questions about the process because Ill probably pretty much just say I dont know. I havent done this myself. If it seems too complicated, dont try it. 3) If this ends up glitching your save out somehow, Im sorry, but theres really nothing I can do about it. If I start hearing this is common, Ill take down the page, though I know a few people have tried it without problems so far. Option #1: *NOTE* - Ive been told this ONLY WORKS if you rename the character something that has the same number letters as the original character. So if the saves name is John, you must rename it another name with 4 letters in it. If the downloaded Shepards name is German, then your new Shepards name should have 6 letters, etc.
Option #2: Download gibbeds Save Editor from the mods list.
2. Find the "First name" variable, and change it to whatever you like. 3. Save your game. Done. See pic here. Option #3 Sent in by another reader for those of you who know how to use a hex editor: If you wish to change to a shorter name (instead of one of the same length) you can make the change with a hex editor, and overwrite the rest of the string with zeroes. It appears to be stored as a standard null-terminated C string. I haven't tried inserting a longer null-terminated name, which might work unless the file keeps track of where things are by storing offsets. |
