Custom build question


Recommended Posts

Hello all. 

 

I'm working on a mission in the MA and I have a question. I'm trying build a custom character with Arachnos spider legs on their back like those crab spider dudes, but I don't see it in the architect as an option. 

 

I know I could just pick one from the standard characters, but they are around level 31 to 54 and I'm trying to keep the mission available to lower-level toons. (just a preference. I can change that, but it was my goal). Is there a way to do that or will I need to just tweak a pre-existing build?

Wish I could help, but I don’t do any messing around with critter files. My suggestion is to change your story to fit what you have. 
 

That said, I’m pretty sure you can create them using the backpack option in the editor. They just won’t be functional

I'll look again, but I did not see them in the backpack options. I might have missed it. 

I don't need them to be functional for the character, it's just for a certain look I wanted for the antagonist.

I'm almost certain they're there, because I have a custom character who wears one in an arc I wrote.

I still don't see them.  I guess I could just tweak an existing NPC but then I would have to adjust the story.

Out of curiosity, I tried to make one.


Arachnos soldier power set is not available.

Oh, well. 

I tried to load a crab spider costume at custom character creation. My aim is to make a toon that looks like a crab spider.
This happened:

I still can't figure out how to make it work using custom character.
