If you've ever bothered to play the campaign, you'll come across two characters in the 1st chapter; Kensai, an Izanagi operative who watches over the Ronin team early on and Johnson, an Iron Guard soldier and an enemy you fight against. Neither of these characters are unlockable through traditional means, so instead we'll have to tinker with a certain file.

First, you'll need to open UTCustomChar.ini. Assuming you're using Windows 7 or newer, it should be located in C:\Users\yournamehere\Documents\my games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config.

Don't worry though, you'll only need to edit this file (hopefully).

While Cyclops' head model is present in the game's files, Cyclops himself never appears in the campaign.

Add the following line at the end of the head part section (search the last match for "Part=PART_Head")


Next, you will need to bind this head model to a character. Copy and paste the line below under Characters (search the last match for "Characters=(CharName")





Since his head is already enabled, simply look up "Johnson" and replace his character line with the one below...



Unlike the two before, Kensai has no custom portrait of his own. It instead reuses Bishop's.

Like Johnson, his head is also enabled. Just look up "Kensai" and change "bLocked="true" to bLocked="false". It should look like this when you're done...

Kensai also happens to come with his own parts; namely, boots, arms & shoulder pads. These can also be used by any male Ronin character.
Copy and paste each line to its appropriate section.

Shoulder Pads

Boots

Arms

Lastly, here are some shoulder pads for the male Necris characters.


Cyclops doesn't have his own description; instead, it borrows Enigma's. Should you feel like adding one, follow these steps;

• Locate Cyclops' character line, then scroll to the right until you see "<Strings:UTGameUI.CharLocData.Enigma_Description>". Replace "Enigma" with Cyclops.
  
  
• Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Localization\INT" and open UTGameUI on Notepad. Create a new line under Nova and type "Cyclops_Description=yourdescriptionhere". I think you know what to do next.

When all that's done, you should see some new faces in the roster, as well as a few goodies in the customization screen (provided you did everything right); here's some screenies for good measure.

This guide borrows heavily from a thread made back in '07; the addition of the Nova head model in the 2009 Titan Pack uses the same HeadID as the Cyclops head, so I reassigned the latter to rectify this problem.

Other than that... I suppose that's it, really. Just be sure to occasionally test-run UT3 after editing a line or two. If something goes awry mid-experiment, leave a comment below and I'll answer it to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks for reading this guide, and I hope you found it useful. See you in the tournament!
