2-in-one Dat request

[Kittyneko]

In Devifoxx's Dat gallery, there are under Normal > Mithra 2 dat files that I like, the Tail Ribbons and Phoenix red long hair ^^. Im just wondering, is it possible to put the tail ribbons together with the red long hair into 1 dat file, so i can always wear the tail ribbon with any armor? Very much appreciated, thanks in advance ^^

Re: 2-in-one Dat request

im pretty sure u cant untill VRS is released since
u cant add points with Metasequoia since it doesnt
update the .mcd file.

the one thing i did was use the swimsuit legs to make
legs and feet for myself (Since the legs and feet are
included in one dat which left the feet slot a blank dat)
i replaced the blank feet dat for the swimsuit with a halo.
so i could use my angelwings on head slot and a halo in
feet slot.


Note: If u use a 2handed weapon dont try replacing
the empty sub-weapon slot XD i tried it and all my
chars did the river dance in the game.

The tail is always a part of the body .dat. If you're talking about making it so it's always paired with the head .dat (Lilac Corsage) regardless of what you're wearing, I don't think that's possible.

Re: 2-in-one Dat request

I dont understand... isnt it just possible to implend the ribbon in a file? Like editting the Face .dat.. And putting the ribbon into it. Why is it paired with the body .dat? I put it in the wedding/opaline/gala Hands armor place... so the body is still displaying, so are the hands (because its added on the Body part) but the actual .dat for the hands is the ribbon..
For example the Opaline Body, has the Opaline Handshoes in it as well.. even though its a sepperate .dat.. {Help me out!} ?

Re: 2-in-one Dat request

Equipment like the Opaline set and the Swimsuit sets are different. They automatically use both dats (Body and Hands) (Legs and Feet). The rest (including the Lilac Corsage) only use one dat. Plus, the tail isn't even a seperate section. There are no seperate dats for tails. They will always be a part of the body. You can see it when you look at the .dds file in Photoshop. The tail is right there with the rest of the skin/texture.

Re: 2-in-one Dat request

So there is nothing I can do for it? I dont want to appear without hands or something on my kewl equipment.. Hmm.. maybe I should try changing it with Emperor Hairpin.. I use that almost all the jobs I play. ^^

Re: 2-in-one Dat request

Well the Tail is always part of the body yes, just if you alter body model to make the bow appear and then alter the texture to give it the color with the alpha mapping and all that crap would you still need to plot out points for the ribbon?

Don't know seems like adding the ribbon to be a permanent fixture wouldn't be that hard considering the other modifications done that are. Is it something I'm missing like the tails motion or something makes the modification for the bow undoable?


EDIT:
Wait NM, think I realized what's wrong now

Can tell messing with models really isn't a strong point for me, haven't really tried it much.

Re: 2-in-one Dat request

it would definatly be doable if you could modify the
.mcd file which VRS is supposed to be able to do when
its done being translated. from there to make it a permanant
feature i would add the tail ribbon to the face model since ur face
stays the same no matter what u wear.

Re: 2-in-one Dat request

any word on when they finish the VRS translation? i heard they had alot of it finished already, something about working on the right click pop up menu options, idk that was a few weeks ago. we need updates! man i want to start playin with that program so i can do a REAL mod lol

I'm really looking forward to the translation. It will be very exciting!

Re: 2-in-one Dat request

Necro bump ol dthread becuase i would also like to see if this is possible seeing as VRS has been translated. Aplogies if this has been covered since this was all i really found when doing a search of the tail ribbon.

Re: 2-in-one Dat request

Well since diving into the modding on FFXI I can tell you it is possible. VRS can handle it easily, attaching two mods to always appear is a simple task. If you know how it takes like 5 min. flat to do.

The thing I'm trying to figure and would love to get is adding more skeletons. It would be cool if I could copy over a skeleton from another model to make a second object independant of the first and be able to actually export it to the .dat.

Can create them in the VRS all I like but since I can't add skeleton's the motions created for the other object just get lost and does some wierd stuff.

I'd do the request but only if I feel a reason to do so.
