[Request] Chestguard Waist Removal

[Utiliser]

Hi,

 

I tried doing this myself, but I haven't been able to find a good tutorial on removing pieces of armor.

 

I'm trying to remove the entire waist section of the Chestguard armor, for both males and females.

 

http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Chestguard

Path: ...steamapps\common\DDDA\nativePC\rom\eq\a_body

Female: f_a_body1000.arc

Male: m_a_body1000.arc

 

I tried unpacking the arc and deleting the entire waist folder, but like I expected the game crashes trying to point to assets that don't exist anymore.

I tried editing the waist CMM and NM files by deleting the contents (using a DDS plugin for GIMP), but the waist section stubbornly stuck around, only now with

what I assume were pieces of the mesh underneath showing.

 

If anyone could do this or better yet point us to a guide explaining the process, you'll be the hero of everyone on this board trying to make similar edits.

 

Thanks for reading!
