demoedit- changing character size?

While working on yet another comic script, I realized that I wanted to feature a very, very large custom character, about twenty scale feet tall. I can make the costume and get the necessary data for the character's appearance with a quick demo, but, obviously, the costume creator wouldn't enable me to make him as large as he needs to be.

Assuming I make a demo of the character, is there a place in the character data in the demofile where I can reset the character's size to something larger than what can be made with the in-game costume creator? If so, which line is it?

Thanks for your input.

There's another thread here in the forums where Leandro talks about having changed the size of stuff to make it more visible - presumably you can do the same thing with a character to make him uber-big.

With luck, he'll spot the thread and respond - right now, I'm on my way out the door otherwise I'd find it for you.

The first line of your costume definition contains all the scales of your character:

0 1978 COSTUME 0 9bd2ff -1.259542 -1.000000 0.000000 -0.500000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.710000 0.760000 1.000000 -0.350000 1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -0.800000 -1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -0.410000 -0.510000 -0.860000

The number I put in yellow is the model scale. I have no idea what units are used, but change it to 500 and your hero will be about five stories tall.

Yep, I made a 500 ft tall bone monster using this. I wish it worked on NPC's as well.

Thank you very much! That's exactly the information I needed.

The units used are the inches different from 6 feet, which is the default height in the character creator. So, to make a 20 foot tall character, put 168 (=12x(20-6)) in there. Using 500 would be a little over 47 feet tall, which sounds about right for a five-story character.

So, if you make the number -168, he will be -14 feet tall?

Unfortunately, no. The small size limit for normal characters is where scaling stops, any smaller and the character just vanishes. I tried it. :-(

Yeah, though you can make them fairly small.

*blinks* I couldn't get mine to scale that far down.

Is there a MAXIMUM size for this? I've not yet had a chance to experiment, but I need a character who is downright HUGE. Like 100 ft tall at a MINIMUM. Maybe even bigger.

Just playing around, I've made them somewhere close to that size.

(And Ashcraft mentioned ~500 ft. working.)

SWEET! My video can now progress!
