Just wondering if it is possible to get the DA:O Tucked hair mod working in DA2.
Found here: http://social.biowar...m/project/2595/

That would be so great!! I love the hairs in this mod.

I'll await you're answers.

It is not possible directly. Facemorphs from DAO can't be dropped into DA2 (or vice versa) due to significant changes between the two games in the way those things are handled.

That said, people have already adapted .mor and .mop files from one to make them usable in the other, just not these specific ones. So it could be done, but not sure if anyone wants to take on the project. :unsure:

@Thandal: unless I'm unaware of a part of that mod, it doesn't contain facemorphs, but new hair models.

The problem is that Origins and DAII have entirely different head shapes. In addition, DAII has new bones that the models would have to be weighted to.

I've done some conversions of Origins hairs, but only with short hairs that don't move much with the bones. It's a lot of tedious work XD

So... Technically it is possible, but it's a whole lot of work?

This tucked hair mod also contains some DA2 hairs (like bethany's, mother's, huon's, nyssa's etc), so i thought the rest could work in DA2 too........

Well, if any of you great awesome fantastic modders would have an interest in trying to do this, I would be sooooooo gratefull!!!

@ish;

I was a bit loose with my terminology. You're right, of course. "Tucked Hair" includes resources and ".mop" files. Many players lump all appearance mods into the category: "facemorphs". :thumbsup:

Ah, see, I didn't realize it had .mops ;D I had downloaded it, but I was only interested in the meshes and wasn't paying much attention XD

@meentje: yeah, it's a lot of work. It has DAII hairs because tmp reshaped them and made them compatible with Origins. I suppose I could talk to him and see if he has any advice regarding reversing the process, but I've a lot on my plate (decided to convert headpieces for elf models), so it's purely an incestigative exercise on my part for now.

@ishmaeltheforsaken:
I really appreciate it, and ofcourse I understand if you're too busy.
Thank you for asking around, maybe I hear from you again soon.

(Good luck with you're elf models!!)
