The Whistler - Race Mod

Description
You've heard whispers in the wind, idle chatter in bars and amongst drifters.
There's something in the north.
Something that drove the bandits insane and set the Leviathans to rampage.
Something that's not quite a skeleton and not quite human.
An Ancient? A Demon? Narko herself? It's hard to pull truth from myth but one thing is certain, there's something up there and that's where we are going.

This mod edits the Whistler race to be functional with my own interpretation of its textures, based off of the concept art.

There is a map to The Whistler's location, sold at a certain rare document vendor.

If you're lucky you may be able to convince The Whistler to join your squad.

Recommended for mid to late range squads.


---------------------------------------

This mod adds

* The Whistler race (finished) and playable

* Lost Ones race (whistler race, but with the head from the concept model)

* Corrupted Lost Ones race (whistler race with a more feral looking head)

* MKI headless skeletons and MKII default head skeletons

* 129 a lot of new lines of dialogue seriously, I lost count

* New point of interest to explore

* The Whistler's head is now in the game In Cat-Lon's ashdome

* Map to the Whistler's location sold in The Great Library in Black Scratch and a 22% chance of being in ancient libraries


Import required

-----------------------------------

** Updates **

I recently found that the whistler's textures were actually hidden in the game files, so I tweaked them a bit and replaced the Whistler's textures.

Added in a head for the Whistler

Added in a male variant for the race

Added a Lost One race and a Corrupted Lost One race, that is the whistler race with the head attached.

Added more dialogue and added a few lore books.

-----------------------------

I just released patches for the new races to be compatible with

SprendiX's mod Military Craft

Blubb's mod
Animation Overhaul

And AGO's mod More Combat Animation


-----------------------------


Please note, removal of mods can damage a save file. Importing after removal can fix the issue, but the import button is not magic. Back up your save game file before installing a new mod and if you decide that you don't like the new mod go back to the save file before installing the mod. Save game corruption is never intentional, but it does happen when the game is expecting a line of code that is no longer there.

Hello! May i please use your Whistler mesh for personal purposes? By personal purposes i mean slapping a custom texture on her and trying to make another mod about The Whistler. I tried ressurecting the model from the files of the game, but turns out i am really not good at weightpainting. If the mod reaches completion, i will mention you in the description or authors, as you wish. Thank you in advance.

I think I found a potential crash. The body files for the Whistler NPC still tries to call the old rebirth vanilla race, and it seems to cause a crash if you don't have Shidan's restored files for it. I messed around with this and tried re-exporting the body file, and that has worked for me currently.

I appreciate the update to re-add the files. I was using Shidan's mod to return them, but this works too.

Be careful, this mod causes constant crashes because they put characters without meshes or textures, which when loading the area where it is destined to spawn generates the crashes.

Do not engage with this mod if you are mod heavy with custom races.
I suffered from consistent crashes.

You shoul also consider pitting Whistler files mod at the bottom since it operates skeletons (and possibly hair) for custom races.

It's the right shoulder I think?

I'm having a trouble of the mesh on the right arm of the whistler.When I recruited the whistler and put clothes on it, it seems the mesh of the clothes on the right arm is out of place.
