I'm asking this more out of curiosity, would it not help if you had an auto switched whenever you go or try to ride something?
I thought of this because I called the boogie, and it switched to Cloud to do the video, and I reminded me of a game that did this, you could change character, but when ever you go somewhere or do something that the main character is meant to do, it would auto switched to the main
It would help, but would be much more difficult. The fact that it switches to Cloud while driving the Buggy wasn't intentional, it's just how the mod happens to work.
One could theoretically make a much more stable version of this mod, where it switches to Cloud during certain story segments (like when you can talk to party members in towns). But it would require calling on the game's internal functions, which I haven't spent much time looking into (and I don't really have the time to do so)
Best implementation of this feature of the mods here. Highly recommended but do read up on the bugs and quirks. Why this isn't a feature in New Game+ is beyond me, considering all the new features such as quick party swap outside of combat and tactical synergy with back liners when down to one party member in combat? We want to play as other characters besides Cloud in New Game+! Anyways, two big thumbs up.
this one will have an issue if cloud is always the party leader? for example if mandatory to switch characters throughout the main story, will this one works fine?
Would you be able to do this for Remake as well? Its possible with cheat engine over there but no actual mod for it, and I don't like using cheat engine x.x
It seems this corrupted my game somehow and now Tifa is the Main character; can ride Chocobo and is always Party Leader when Cloud is in the party. Also can't progress the story anymore when Cloud is really needed and she just stops and I have to force quit....
Welp... I already had finished the first area completely when I got stuck and couldn't cross the swamp area XD Fortunately I had a save at Bill's Ranch just after Chadley spoke to me first time.... After my frustration, I have already started to continue from there now controlling only Cloud from now on until someone really fixes the Character Selection mod(s) so they won't f*#@ up your progress >___< I've played the game on Hard Mode on PS5 anyway so.... not a problem
If Cloud can't ride a Chocobo, reloading (with fast travel or saving/loading the game) should fix it. If it happens permanently, that's unexpected behavior.
Neither of your issues should be happening, unless you:
a) Previously used (or are currently using) other mods/cheat tables that edit your party configuration. b) Are trying to patch on older version of the game with the latest version of the mod (or some other incompatible combination). The game version must match the mod version. It also only works with Steam, not Epic version.
In my testing there should be no way that you can get hard-locked in the way you described. While this mod changes who you control, it does NOT change who the game thinks you are controlling. So aside from segments where you're forced to play as someone else, Cloud is always considered the "controlled character", regardless of who you're actually controlling. Which means if you uninstall the mod, you WILL be controlling Cloud the next time you start the game.
Please ensure that you aren't using multiple mods/cheats that edit the controlled character. If you previously used one to change who you control, you will need to use that same one to undo it.

You are always Cloud no matter who is set as the party leader
