[Help Request] Importing/Finalising Custom Mesh

[CelestialStarmie]

I have .blend file .png .dds .GR2 all attached to a template BG3 armature complete with UV map and LOD's but there's no real guide on adding footwear yet or any clear way to do so as tutorials for armours tend to be overcomplicated or missing information with regard to setting up files, particularly with .lsx files which as a digital artist not a coder are a nightmare.

 

If someone would like to continue with this project and put my Shark Slippers into BG3 feel free to comment below or DM me. I would be willing to surrender control of the project and uploading of the finished mod, as long as credit is given for my model: The model may not be altered and claimed as your own, it may be resized and the texture may be altered; but credit must be given in any capacity of use.

 

People need this mod.

 

 

For now this project will be put on hold until appropriate modding tools become available or someone takes up the opportunity to finish it.

I have given up with trying to make this into a mod and opted for replacing Karlach's Boots in the game under HUM_F_Barbarian_Karlach_Footwear with my own mesh for the DAE, FBX and GR2 files then repacking the Models PAK file into the game directory to see if it works.

 

The best I could get with making it through the mod method was having my mesh load in-game but it had no texture and was all black.

 

Will update if I can get it to work as a mod, if not you can consider this a dead project.

 

This is what happens when importing to the game files

I don't know how to fix the lower part of the legs being visible or allow the game to use my texture.

 

If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know, otherwise my mesh is loading perfectly. Issue now is textures.

 

Edit - Replaced Bard Shoes with my mesh and the issue with the legs are gone. I just need to find a way to replace the game texture for this shoe directly like I am doing for the mesh.

Bump

 

How do I replace game file textures, need to replace Bard Shoes texture with my own so that it stops overlaying onto the mesh and my texture, seems to be overlaying with SOME opacity.

 

Can't seem to find the texture for this item as the files are all a string of numbers and there's like 10's of thousands of GTS files. Could be looking in the wrong place?

 

 

(Simplified - Repacking game files not external mod and need a method for finding and replacing textures)
