Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Replacing PC hair with Hench-hair - incl. bald

(I may cross-link this better tomorrow. It;'s late. For now...)

• Unpack Main.pak and Textures.pak using the most current lstools.
  • Hair model files (CP_F_HAIR_A-H.GR2 and CP_M_HAIR_A-G.GR2) can be found here:
    unpacked main\public\main\assets\characters\players
  • CP_F_HAIR_F.GR2 and CP_M_HAIR_E.GR2 are bald heads and have no texture files.
  • Otherwise, hair texture files (3 files for each, extensions .DM, .NM and .SM) can be found here:
    unpacked textures\public\main\assets\textures\characters\player
• Decide which stock hair you don't want, and which hench-hair you do.
  • There's a picture/listing of the hench-hair floating around.

  • You may want to test them all in game to see which ones don't work for you.
• In the main game installation's data folder, set up the same sub-folders structure that you found the files in.
  • Starting with data\public\main\assets\etc.)
  • You may already have them if you've been messing with stock faces and so on.
• Copy the hench-hair files you want - models and textures - into the two correct folders and then rename them.

If you edit the player.lsb file in the root templates folder you can simply add faces, hair, bodies to the player and henchmen templates without replacing any models

Brother, if you've figured out the data structure of that file, you're further ahead than me.

Was there a tutorial I missed, or is it really Just That Simple?


Also, there are hair models I dislike and want to replace, so that's kind of a bonus for me.

alternative way of doing stuff like this would be importing all the models and materials you want to use in the editor and put them all together, that way you do not have to use external tools. Be ware though this is much more time consuming

a quick tut i just made on how to make your own templates within the editor, quite usefull when you want to add your own custom visuals in the future



edit:
1. to change the skin color (if you dont like purple ) go to the Color 1 List (thats at the Character Visualset tab) and add a nice Skin Color to the model to your own liking
2. For the PhysicsResourceID search for Capsule_Default
3. For the AI Bounds (you can play around with this ofcourse) add 1.7 for Height and 0.25 for Width
4. If you want to change more things with the model copy it to your own Module(right click>Copy To my Module..). Now you should be able add your own material(textures) and animations (for when we can import those).

Nice! This forum rocks.

and here the quick version in which you edit the player.lsb

Ah see that's the problem. I couldn't work out that Arms = Hair.

Lord, I wish I could tell from context that was your typo, or really the way it is...

haha yeh weird naming stuff larian used

Great work TC. And thanks for the tutorial FromHolland
