Ray as a Radiant Praetorian

Description
I downloaded the Radiant Hive Praetorian patch, and noticed it didn't add any naturally spawning ones to the world of Kenshi. Which unfortunately means unless you start with one, they were impossible to find...

Until now!

Figured if i was gonna add one to the world, I'd give my boy (bug?) Ray the glow-up he deserves. Ray will now spawn as a Primordial Hive Praetorian, with all the perks such a thing provides!

I've also taken the liberty to update the dialog of the person who sells him. To not only try to make sense of why they would be in possession of such a 'one of a kind' breed of hiver...

but also, to increase the price of Ray a bit after his upgrade. He'll now run you a staggering 50K Cats! He will be quite powerful after all, once you free him, of course~

This mod was inspired by the original "Ray as a Praetorian" mod here on the Workshop. Check that one out as well!

Obviously, this requires the Radiant Primordial Hive mod, plus the Praetorian Patch mod to work.

It will also require a New Game or Import if Ray has already spawned, since it needs to update to the new race and model. It also isn't compatible with any mod that changes Ray.

Let me know if you run into any other issues, and enjoy your big red bug!

That's how it worked. The MOD that came to mind was RadiantFaces, but when I tried it, it was just like that.
So, as you pointed out, I created a patch to erase Ray's custom mesh data, and Ray became a Praetorian!
I'm thinking of releasing this patch, but what do you think?

@bucchi glad you're trying out my mod! Just make sure you dont have any other mods that may effect Ray installed. For example, i just downloaded the "More interesting Ray" mod that not only adds Dialog, but also a custom body mesh that overrides his shape, regardless of load order! So he'll look like a Soldier Drone, but have the stats of a Praetor. Only way to change this is to go Into the FCS for that mod and delete the body mesh for Ray. Hope this helps!

Hello! This is a sentence made by machine translation.
I tried using your mod. However, Ray spawned as a Radiant Soldier drone instead of a Radiant Praetorian. And oddly enough, Soldier is just for looks, but has Radiant Praetorian stats!
Any idea why this is happening?
The order in which mods are loaded is as follows:

Radiant Primordial Hive
Radiant Primordial Hive - Praetorian Patch
Ray as a Radiant Praetorian

In the new game you can select Radiant Praetorian to start, so I don't think this is a problem.
