DrSuSE Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I love the look of this mod/armor: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/407/? It's bear re-themed into Wolven coloring. Sadly though, I've switched to New Moon armor for stat/build reasons (crit). Would love if someone could replace the New Moon look with that recolored Bear armor or something similar. Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSuSE Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hrm... would anyone be willing to teach a little? I must be dense or something. I downloaded the modkit, read through the PDF included in it. Uncooked the game (and the DLC), located the thief armor and exported it. Replaced the textures with those of the bear armor, regenerated the XBMs, cooked and packaged, installed and... well, nothing. Hah. Clearly I am missing something, but I am not entirely sure what, and the guide is obviously not directly instructing on how to swap an armor appearance for another so... I'm a bit lost. Very happy to be taught to fish and not just given the fish if that is possible. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSuSE Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Ok, so I am actually making a little progress... I've got the textures redone/copied over from one armor to the other. Now I have to figure out the meshes (I guess) since the textures aren't shaped correctly and look ridiculous, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSuSE Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Damn despite efforts and reading, I cannot seem to figure out the mesh part. I thought I could rename them and re-import via the modkit. Sadly, no. I downloaded Blender to look at the FBX files but... Didn't see how to adjust what textures were named. Anyone with some advice? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGann Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Thief armor? Geralt can't use armors that aren't for Geralt. Different skeleton. You're looking for xml file edits if you just want appearance swaps, though. Try the CDPR forums. CDPR's documentation on modding is absolutely laughable.

New Moon / Thief armor is a Geralt armor set. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMcGann Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Oh. Thief armor IS Geralt armor. Again, xml files are where you go for swaps. My team is hopefully going to eventually tackle New Moon armor when we get to the DLC. That thing is itching for a cool texture - it's basically a blank slate.

DrSuSE Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Ok, I was making this way harder than it needed to be... it required literally 1 line be adjusted in 1 file. Anyway, in case anyone else finds this while searching for help on doing something similar, here was the resolution I came to:http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/60982-Replacing-New-Moon-Thief-with-Bear-Ursine?p=1951943#post1951943 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
