Race-changing hack...does it exist? : FFXI General Discussions

Hello ^^ I am new to everything hacks...lol.
Lately I have been getting very annoyed with my character. ; ; It is an overused character model and the way she stands in battle ish not good. D: It's not as if it's unbearable for e or anything, but it would be nice to have a change without me having to start a new character altogether. Is there a hack that allows you to change your race/character model?
I'm guessing the answer is no, but you never know. o.o;

yes there is a way to change your race/model but on your screen only.

This is a nice program I found on a Japanese website that allows you to change one race to another or switch heads. Please note, changes that this program makes is seen by YOU only. Basically, this program will tell your computer which files to load for which character. It does NOT switch .dat files, but it alters the Ftable.dat and Vtable.dat files instead. Right now, I changed my Hume into a Tarutaru, so now most hume males I see are now Tarutaru, but those who were already Tarutaru are still Tarutaru. Also, if you are already in game when making these changes, exit out to POL then start FFXI again.

Usage

The drop down menu on the first tab is what you will change a race into, if you see only ???? then it follows the order that you see on the character creation screen. From top down: Male Hume, Female Hume, Male Elvaan, Female Elvaan, Male Tarutaru, Female Taruaru, Mithra, Galka.

The list right underneath the drop down menu is what you want to change, in the same order, but missing Female Tarutaru (they are combined into one). So Male Hume, Female Hume, Male Elvaan, Female Elvaan, Taruaru, Mithra, Galka.

So first select a race to turn into from the drop down menu, then pick which one you are changing, then hit the button underneath to apply the change.

The button all the way on the bottom restores everything that you changed.

Also, the second tab will let you change heads only, in case you're not happy with yours, but remember everyone else sees you with your regular head and body.

Okay thank you, that is really helpful! ^^ Thanks very much, I will download that in a second! I take it there is no hack in existence that allows you to change your character so other players can see it too?

No, there isn't. Your race and face selections are something that are not editable at all in game once they're set initially. All the 'hacks' people have discovered involve things that change anyway; player location, your current job, etc. The game doesn't provide the facility to change your race, so as a result, there's nothing to hack, save the backend databases themselves (which I would wager is a near impossible task).
