[All in one Download] -
Houses all characters, names and skill replacing files.
Comes in 3 versions: OYW, Zeta + ZZ and CCA + Unicorn + Late UC.
Pick the era of characters you want and then simply place the data folder inside of your game's directory located in steam/steamapps/common/GGCR/
There also exist different versions of the packs which replace certain characters with other (Challia Bull to Gihren Zabi) or different names of the same character (Epleo Ple to Elpeo Puru)

BE AWARE THAT THIS METHOD IS WILL OVERWRITE THE SCHIPS FOLDER AND AS SUCH REMOVE ANY PRE-EXISTING MODS IF THERE ARE ANY. PLEASE INSTALL THIS BEFORE ANY OTHER MOD

There, you are finished, enjoy playing with those era's characters.



[Alternative Skins] -
The 'Alternative Skins' folder contains alternative skins for a select few characters (Such as AUEG Four and Axis Quattro for example)
Alternative Skins must be installed individually.

Installation is done by putting each folder inside the data folder located in the game's directory:
GGCR/data
Besides the blank file named G followed by a string of numbers, that file must be placed inside of the 'schips.txd' folder inside of images (schips.txd can be opened using Rar or 7Zip):
GGCR/images/schips.txd


[Manual download for all characters, skins and names] -
The 'Manual Download of all Characters, skills and names' folder contains all characters separated in the case you wish to have only some characters or if you want to use them with a pre-existing modded game or mix and match eras.
Be aware that you cannot use two characters which use the same character slot (Indicated by the code and name of the character they will replace)

First go into 'Character Images' and into one of the era packs, there you will find the characters alongside a code and name of the characters that they replace.
You must place everything inside a character file into your data folder located in /GGCR/Data, besides the blank file which you must put into shicps.txd, same way we covered in [Alternative Skins]
Only characters labeled 'FINISHED' have had all of their sprites added.

After that the names folder will contain names for all characters from a given era (OYW, Zeta + ZZ and CCA - Late UC), simply put the language folder into your data folder.
However in such a way you will not be able to mix and match names, you will learn how to do that later.

Then go into skills and choose one of the Pack folders and put the resident folder into your data folder.
Again just like names this will only install the skills and stats of the given era, in order to mix and match you will need to do something a bit more complex we will cover later.

Finally Voices in which you will find the voices of each character, simply open the character then put the voices folder inside your data folder.



[Installing characters from different eras together.]

Follow Manual Download's instructions on Character Images then:

Firstly ensure you have a vanilla schips.txd, which you are supplied by this mod.

Then open the tool inside 'Cross Rays Editor'.
Now click on '(File/Options)' and 'set data folder path' to your game's data folder.
Then on 'Choose game language' to set what game language you are currently using ingame

Open up 'Pilot Name' and insert the names of the pilots you desire to use, a list of the character names, replacements and their file id and name id will be found at the end.

After this open up '(Modify Pilots)'
And click the 'Import' button in the lower part of the tool

Open up the 'skills folder' and select one of the manual folders instead of pack, there you will find 'master' character folders, merely select the one of the character you want and their skills + stats will automatically
installed in the correct slot. Don't forget to click save before you move onto the next character to make sure everything is alright.

And after that you should be finished and have characters from different eras in one game.


[Bonus Characters]
The 'Bonus Characters' folder contains characters which overwrite slots with other characters. (Chalia Bull with Gihren for example)
Follow similar instructions with what you have been taught in alt skins and manual download. Use what you been taught in installing characters from different eras if you wish to use them in a different era.
