Added the ability to change Dragon Shores NPCs to look more unique from one another when this mod is used in conjunction with my Gnostalgic Gnorc mod.

-Change to any playable character at any time, including First Person Agent 9!
-Press the right thumbstick to swap between HD and PS1 graphics (extremely work-in-progress feature)
-Also even more work-in-progress features for Enter the Dragonfly and A Hero's Tail graphics.
-Plus the work-in-progress ability to change to Spyro 1 style gems/chests/fairies/eggs in Spyro 2&3 and
vice-versa
-Change Hunter to FaithSDK's Shaggy skin at any time, too! Because why not!

-change Spyro's size. You can make him teeny tiny or gigantic, and it hardly ever softlocks!

-I also included an extra widget that is opened from the Omniswapper menu. Using Unreal Engine 4.19.2, you can replace this widget with your own, which is an easy way to add additional mods into the game without contradicting any of the Omniswapper's files.
HOW TO USE:
1. Locate the base game's pak files at
Steam > steamapps > common > Spyro Reignited Trilogy > Falcon > Content > Paks
2. Inside the paks folder, create a new folder called "~mods" and be sure to include the ~
3. Place of the Omniswapper's pak files inside the ~mods folder. It's best if you DO NOT RENAME THEM.
Level - Artisans Acres HD Art02
an extremely early remake of my old Artisans Acres mod. You can leave this one out if you want the regular Artisans experience.
Inside the Artisans castle in PS1 graphics, you can see a portal that leads into the Hall of Portals. The idea was to have a hub from which to enter people's custom mod levels. However, it is extremely unfinished right now. Touching one of the portals in there will softlock the game.
Level - Sunny Villa Art02 & Level - Sunrise Spring Art02
unfinished efforts to implement the ability to swap level graphics from HD to PS1 at any time by pressing the right thumbstick. You can leave them out if you wish, although if you include Sunrise Spring but don't include Sunny Villa, then when you enter the Sunny Villa portal, the spinning PS1 portal skybox will get permanently stuck in the sky.
Mesh - PS1 Hotswapper
contains all the meshes needed for swapping to PS1 graphics. If you're not interested in the PS1 graphics, then you can leave this file out to save on space.
Particle Effect - Flame Colors Variable
Replaces Spyro's fire breath with one whose color you can change at any time in the menu. Note that this is not an exact recreation of the particle effect made by Toys for Bob. If you want to use the regular orange fire breath or another fire mod, it's okay to leave this one out.
PlayerController - Omniswapper
This is the most important pak as it contains the swapper itself. This is a PlayerController mod, meaning it is not compatible with other PlayerController mods such as the ones made by InfinateExtremer. I did however incorporate his Sparx Light, Tron Skin, and Cinematic Camera mods into this Swapper.
PlayerController 2 - Cinematic Camera
This is a fork of Infinate's photo mode mod that is compatible with the Omniswapper, meaning you can take 4k and 8k screenshots of all the different skins!
Widget - PS1 Manuals
This contains the PS1 instruction manuals. If you're not interested in reading them ingame, you can leave this out to save on space.
Press K on your keyboard to open/close the omniswapper menu. From there, instructions for other
individual parts of this mod can be found on each button's mouseover text.Get instructions for the Cinematic Camera at
Docs.google.com
Get the Omniswapper source project at
Drive.google.com
The Omniswapper should be compatible with most other Reignited mods,
except some of the ones made by InfinateExtremer that replace the PlayerController.
I have tried my best to minimize the impact this mod will have on performance. It shouldn't be noticeable on a decent PC. However, I haven't really tested on low-end hardware so please let me know if using this mod makes your game drop to 10 fps or something. Also, if you think this mod is causing your game to crash with a fatal error, please let me know, and try to describe what you were doing when it crashed (The cinematic camera can be a bit buggy too but that's on Infinate). But I'm, err, pretty sure it won't crash! Promise!
All mods in the Omniswapper were added with the express permission of their creators. Credit and links to the standalone versions of the mods can be found in the mouseover text for the corresponding buttons. I tried my best to give clear credit to everyone, but if I overlooked someone, please contact me (Bunn) at the Mod the Dragon Discord server.
I realize this mod is still missing some features and polish here and there, but I've been working on it for
so long and need a break, so I decided to go ahead and release what I've got rather than keep people waiting. Check back in a couple months - maybe I'll have updated this mod.
Also, I forgot to mention, if you swap to playable Sparx, he will hijack the mouse and the only way to change characters will be to open the swapper menu, then pause the game, and select another character while the game is paused. Also also, touching hazardous water as playable Sparx will crash the game. Also also also, don't swap characters, reset powerups, or do anything else that "resets" spyro while you're in a loading screen unless you want the game to softlock. Toggling PS1 graphics with the right thumbstick is okay, though.
Can you add an abilities to get a powerup without changing the default Skin?
Sorry, that'd be too hard to do in the blueprints. The way it's done right now, the powerup skins actually activate when you get a powerup at all and can't differentiate any sort of context. You can even get supercharge skin very briefly sometimes when supercharging on a ramp. The game wasn't designed for multiple skins to exist so I kinda had to do it in a weird way.
oh ok, thanks for the reply :)
Great mod by the way
This is really cool thank u
I downloaded this and then tried to diasble it and the legend of spyro title keeps coming up so i had to unistall spyro reignited and am currently reinstalling it i hope this fixes it pls help if you know how to get rid of that
Okay, first off, mods should never force you to uninstall reignited. It's like 40 GB so you shouldn't go through all that trouble. Just remove the mod from the ~mods folder (steamapps > common > Spyro Reignited Trilogy > Falcon > Content > Paks > ~mods is where all mod pak files should go. I suggest not using any other mod launchers as they make things needlessly confusing imo).
Second off, the Legend of Spyro title screen is from Anleas's mod, not mine.
Great mod dude! I've been waiting forever for something like this. I do have a couple of questions though:
1. I'm playing Spyro 1 as his friends and they don't seem to be able to kill enemies or fodder. Is this intentional and will it get fixed?
2. I accidentally selected Sparx from the menu and I couldn't change back to Spyro without restarting the game. Was I doing something wrong?
3. Do you think you could add these Dark Spyro and Winter Guardian Spyro skins from Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled to the swapper? Moddb.com Moddb.com
1. That's just how TfB/Sanzaru programmed them and there's nothing we can do about it.
2. Oh yeah, sorry, forgot to mention, playing as Sparx hijacks the mouse and so to swap to another character you have to keep the menu open, pause the game, and then select another character while the game is paused.
3. I'm holding off on adding too many alternate skins right now because it'd be better if I did some sort of system where you selected your main mesh and then selected which textures go on it from a secondary menu, and I just haven't had the time or energy to add that feature.
I followed the instructions but im new to this modding thing, when I open spyro I press "K" and nothing happens, is there another step I need to do?
Make sure your mods folder is at Spyro Reignited Trilogy > Falcon > Content > Paks > ~mods
Make sure to include the tilde (~) symbol when naming the ~mods folder. Don't get it confused with a minus (-) symbol.
Do other people's mods work when you place them in the ~mods folder?
Do you have another mod besides mine that changes up gameplay mechanics in some way, especially one made by InfinateExtremer such as time stop or ice physics mods? Try installing my mod alone to see if another mod was conflicting with it.

Hi, could you please provide me with the 3D model of young Cynder from The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night? I would like to 3D print her for myself for a personal Spyro project.
