I was actually planning to make a few armor mods, such as one that replaces mage robes with the cloth armor designs (normal clothes) and a shameless fanservice one for both genders.

There's just one problem: The blasted game won't allow you to make mods that overwrite models/texture from the main module. It will just ignore the modded version and continue using the defaults >:(

I found you can hack around this by deleting the main/texture pak files then replacing them with their extracted components. But you're still only able to alter the main module files (mods will still be ignored by the extracted version). So WAYYY to messy of a procedure for me to feel comfortable trying to release any of my modded content to the public yet.

But once Larain (hopefully) fixes the game to recognize modded textures/models without having to butcher the main module and its pak files I'll be happy to release a few theme sets for the armor wink

EDIT/Update: Well some good news and some bad news. Good news is thanks to Norbyte I've found a cleaner method of overwriting existing content that simply involves creating a new pak file containing the replacement models/textures.

Bad news is while this means alternate armor textures can be made it won't get rid of the gaudy colors. But if someone can find the file that handles the armor items palettes they likely could use the same method to give them all some more down to earth colors schemes.

Anyways guess I'll be releasing a mage robe to clothes mod soon biggrin


Would it be possible to add Dyes to the inventory of vendors or ad a new vendor with dyes or at least add a chest with dyes? Or is this also hard to implement?
