I know that Far Cry 4 is an old game now, but not to me. Far Cry 5 disappointed me and Far Cry 4 continues to satisfy so I'm going back to it. What I was wondering is if it would be possible to swap Ajay Ghale's player model with another existing one. I know that a model for Hurk exists, as well as Kalinag from Shangri-La. A Golden Path soldier and a Rakshasa from the Battles of Kyrat game mode are also in the game somewhere. (I'm not talking about the demons, I'm talking about the unique Hunters that you play as)
Doing this is possible because after looking for model swap mods I found that someone did make one... But it's not exactly what I want. (The only model swap mod that exists right now is the one that makes Ajay naked -_-)

Yep you can swap any of the ones you mentioned. The easiest way is simply to swap the ark.fcb files.
I had swapped to Hurk's model in the last FC4 mod I was working on... until it broke the game and then FC5 came out so now it's stuck in limbo again sigh

To OP, I'm interested in making this mod, I'll take a look around.

Oops sorry it did work. Splendidly in fact. I meant the MOD itself broke the game (not Hurk ). Everytime Shagra-La loaded up I would get a crash to desktop. Pretty sure it was a specific enemy or item spawning but I couldn't nail it down. And then I started getting crashes in the open world whenever the main character would die to an animal attack. No idea wth that was about.

I already finished all the Shangri-La missions and was interested in a new experience for the post-game, so I'm okay with that.

drive.google.com/open?id=1CfO2AsXJWTMWNNSXVPu6w5iUW0rg50tyOkay, here I compiled a mod for you, I try to keep as many things as Ajay has: - Ajay's AnimPackages
- Ajay kept as 1st player (Hurk is 2nd player in that regard)
- Ajay's watch
- Ajay's archetype resource list
In addition, I merge it with my holstering weapon mod (Press H to holster, RMB to unholster) because I don't have a vanilla patch laying around. However, I don't have the game installed on my disk so I went a bit on my own assumption. No guarantee that this will work. Have fun!

If Ajay is kept as first player, how will I know if it works?
This is great, by the way. Any chance you can tell me how you did it so I can swap with the Rakshasa?

Even if you swap the model and other stuff, essentially you are still playing as Ajay from the game's perspective. So keeping "you" the player as the first player should prevent glitches.

Attempted to swap with the Rakshasas model. Crashed game every time I attempted. What exactly am I supposed to do?

The Rakshasas are MP skins. I don't think you can use them directly via the arks. Instead you would need to reset Ajay back to normal and explore the character kit .xml files under \graphics\characters\kits\
You can find out which .xml goes with which character in this file: \graphics\characters\graphickitlist.xml
There's a way to do it I'm sure, but it's been a long time since I messed with any of that.

Well, if you ever do manage to find a way to swap them before I do, I would be eternally grateful. (I would pay for it but I'm on a tight budget)

So I found that the models are split up where there's a section for the FPS arms, legs, torso, and then the whole model. What I don't understand is which file I'm supposed to modify in order to edit these. I took something, an XML file I think, and replaced all the parts that were labeled as Ajay with the respective Rakshasa parts. That didn't work though.

I did some digging with network player and normal player's archetype.
They are in fact very different from each other (network player archetype applies to a collection of MP characters) so I suggest replacing Ajay's models to achieve the character swap if you don't mind immersion-breaking sound effects from Ajay.
Here is what I think you should do:
graphics\_common\characters\narrative\firstpersonarms\firstperson_torso.xbg -> graphics\_common\characters\pvp\rakashas\pvp_raka_fpstorso.xbg
graphics\_common\characters\narrative\firstpersonarms\firstperson_pants.xbg -> graphics\_common\characters\pvp\rakashas\pvp_raka_fpspants.xbg
graphics\_common\characters\narrative\firstpersonarms\firstperson_rightarm.xbg -> graphics\_common\characters\pvp\rakashas\pvp_raka_fpsrightarm.xbg

Tried it, spawned in a void, crashed to menu screen. Clearly I'm doing something wrong. And now the fcb file refuses to convert to an XML no matter what, so I can't try again.
