Pretty simple, yet for me surprisingly confusing and difficult. I've been trying to change the default avatar "skin" if you will, in both BG and SI, to the Paladin(464) shape in BG and the Suit of Armor(550) shape in SI. I can do it fine with the cheat menu, and with Studio, but anything from sleeping to poisoning will change it back to the orginal avatar skin.
How would I go about making the change permanent?
I'm really new to the studio dealy, but I remember when I ran the game back in the day, all i would have to do was use the cheat menu everytime I loaded my save, and the skin would stay, rather than this reverting back occasionally.
I'm running 1.4 by the way.

Re: Changing Avatar Shape
Maybe changing the graphic in shapes.vga by means of Import/Export for a purely cosmetic effect.
Re: Changing Avatar Shape
The closest you can do right now is to use the polymorph flag in the cheat screen and set the desired shape. In BG, this will pretty much be permanent, but in SI it will likely be gone when you have your form changed (say, by Serpent Bond).
That said, I am working in a way to allow custom skins for the avatar (both in BG and in SI) which will give a broader range of choices. It will still take a while to be finished, though, as I am 'de-hacking' the current system for BG.

Re: Changing Avatar Shape
Great idea!
What about making some new sprites for the armors, so you can see who is wearing which armor in the actual game graphic - like in ultima online! that would be nice!
But I think it will be some work... Perhaps having some skins for the avatar to chose from at the beginning would be also nice!
