Hey Eat_Lead,
It would be very interesting (maybe as a new thread?) to see who could come up with character/skin/mesh change that looks the most original or evil or powerfull or whatever? then a screenshot.

Great! can't w8 to see what comes up..i have done stuff like this before (Patrax posted my modded Paladin armour) although im not gonna show nething until I have time to make something that id be happy to post .Until then..its just messing about. Oh, also retexturing weapons is basically the same isn't it? I would really like to be able to make something 'New' (like a retextured armour) but without haveing the original changed. So if i modded shadow armour only I would wear that particular version and not every shadow in the game...if that makes sence!  |

As mentioned before,
If you select any armour (the shape), any skin available can be painted onto it using a graphics program, but the trick is "knowing" the model, where to put items such as belts/buckles/buttons etc.
I remember Patrax's thread very well, "New old night armour" it was very helpfull for learners.
This retexturing is easy, modelling is a lot trickier, and not to be messed with unless your "pretty expert" in that line.
Find the mesh, alter/tweek/recolour/add detail/ then put it back into the original, Goman does it easy.
Sure, if you find the weapons textures and say, wash a blade with 50% red
then put it back (paste) you could have a "blood-red" blood blade,
and remember, the textures are often "stretched" over the model.
It may take a couple of days but if/when i post a screenshot, some comments of what/how it was done may be helpfull.
Who could come up with the "best-shot" ?

Just experimenting with Goman and GothicVDF. Anyway..I havn't created anything new but i have made my char look like a proper Sect camp junkie! I used existing face textures and head anim but as far as i know my combination is uniqe..so i look like a sec camp guy whils still being suttly differant and uniqe  ! Also, Templar armour looks much better without that stupid rag costume I now just wear ragged draws! |

Sounds like your getting the armour thing o.k , the possibilities are endless, i noticed in the Trial.mod (english) there are some black coloured guard armours "painted on" by default ("no-armour") pretty cool.
By the way Eat_Lead, do you "struggle" with the recursive file input in the vdfs.builder? - - i just can't make it re-curse! - - i wish it could then the whole re-building thing would be a lot easier.

Recursive?  I know what it means but i don't get what u mean by it but i may still be able to answer your question. I basically edited the whole thing in GoMan and then just built the vdf in GothicVDFS following Patrax's guide. The whole thing took a while and i kept on having to chop and change between Goman and Gothic VDFs |
