true- so could I . But I will do it better when I will have an option to turn sceletons into batterflies on fridays and into orcs on sundays AT WILL.
Lets look realisticly into what you actualy trying to achive and realise that there is simpler way of doing it wihout ever touching the source.
With perl script in place like is run on Trevs server - ANYONE can change appearnce of ANYTHING in any zone with a NOTEPAD editor - you want all Troll SKs to look like rats - no problem. You can do this in ANY zone with any model.
But once you hard code this - we stock with it exactly this way
In otherwords- don't use the code to make ONE single detail. Use the code to make an ENGINE which can be adjusted with a couple EXTERNALY controlled variables to create ANY detail.
An thankfully for what you trying to do - the engine is allready in place
Here is Trevs code for his Illusionist script. Thsi can be used as a base
