Selecting a Character
Each player now selects a character on the Select Character
Screen. After a player selects a character, the character is
indicated with “Player
x
.”
Main Character Data
On the Main Character Data Screen, select
either the available character or the “New Character” slot. When
you select a new character slot, you will create a new character
(see page 12).
Temporary Characters
To select a temporary character, select
one on the Temp Characters Data Screen. You can either select
the moved character data on the hard disk or select and move the
character data from the memory unit to the hard disk.
Characters in the Xbox Memory Unit
In multi mode, you can
partner and play with characters that your friends created on their
own Xbox systems. To do this, you must read in character data
from other Xbox systems through the Xbox memory units. Start by
transferring the character data of each player who wants to join
from his or her respective hard disk to a memory unit. To move a
character from the hard disk to a memory unit, select your game
data, game mode, and then the character to be moved. When the
confirmation box appears, scroll down and select Move Character.
You can then use the left and right triggers to select which memory
unit you would like to transfer your character to.
When completed, move the memory unit to the Xbox console that
will be used to play multi mode. The character data that has been
moved will now be listed under the “Temporary Characters” data.
Note that the original character data that has been transferred
as a temporary character cannot be used as Main Character data
until the data have been returned to the original Xbox that it was
created on.
Selecting a Transferred Character
Select the character transferred to the Temporary Character data
through the following steps. First, select
Multi Mode
and your
game type, and then have each player press the
A
button on their
respective controllers. Players can then select their characters
from the hard disk or memory units. If this is your first time playing
on another person’s Xbox console with a character created on
your own system, you will have to select
New Character
and use
the left and right triggers to locate your character on the hard
disk or memory unit. You will be asked whether or not to move the
selected character; select
Yes
and enter to move it or
No
to cancel.
Warning: If you delete the Temporary Character data, you will
not be able to return it to the memory unit. Also, if you cancel
the “transferred” status on the original hard disk, you will not
only lose all items, but you will not be able to return the moved
character data to its original hard disk.
Transferring Character Data from the Memory Unit
If you select
New Character
from the Temporary Characters list,
you will be asked to select a memory unit and move the character
data to the hard disk. Use the left and right triggers to select a
memory unit, and the character data will be displayed. You will be
asked whether or not to move the selected character: Select
Yes
and enter to move it or
No
to cancel. The selected character will, at
the same time, be your play character.
Moving Your Character Back to the Memory Unit
Don’t forget to move your character back to the memory unit at the
end of a multi mode session. To do this, select
Multi Mode
, the
character you want to transfer in the Character Select Screen, and
then
Return to MU
. After the character is transferred, the memory
unit can be taken back to the original Xbox console and loaded
onto its hard disk.
