[hellothar]

I want to change Mazzy's character appearance to human female form with a hoodie:


But I don't know how. All thief/fighter females available in Shadowkeeper have no hoods.

[hellothar]

Hmm, the hood is actually an inventory item -- Thieves' Hood, only wearable by thieves? And not a character body type at all?


Can I hack around this somehow? So that whatever I equip on her will appear as a hood?

Well, if you don't have Avatar Switcher installed, you can load a save with the Shadow Keeper, switch to Mazzy's character with the button on top of the "Change Portrait" on, then Open the Appearance tab, and switch the Appearance to "Thief Female Human", _{not an Elf}, and there you go.

The Helm that the Thieves hood is, doesn't change the look of the character at all, the avatars hood comes from the Appearance with the leather armor...

That's what I've already tried:


as you can see she still has no hood.

And what other mods do you have installed ? And you are using a leather armor, right ?

That's not what I read out of your reply (that simply female human thief is enough).

Yes, there is a hood now that I equipped her with leather armor.

But this is problematic since leather is a relatively weak armor for a fighter. Any way to work around this issue? Can I create my own leather armor in this game and duplicate the properties of any other armor?

Yes, you could, you need a moding tool like the NearInfinity, read the 11 & 11.1 from this, open the ITM file you wish modify and go to edit, find the "Equipped Appearance" line and change it's value to "2A - Leather Armor" and then save it with a custom name (that has maximum of 8 letters) as AAAABBBB, Console it, with this:

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("AAAABBBB")

And there you go.

Yes, that was probably too fast too much, but you can try it or say which item you wish to change like this and I'll upload it, if you like that... although you won't learn so much of it...

I can't find the equipped appearance

[Jarno Mikkola]

I can't find the equipped appearance

It's the one with the label- "Inventory Icon" and "4A", switch that to "2A" and you should have it...
Somehow I got the notion you didn't take the latest NearInfinity that is v1.33beta20, found at the bottom of this page.

You were right. I did not have beta version. Fixed.


However, Mazzy still has no hood with blue dragon full plate male armor! I right-clicked on the item, selected "add a copy of", selected a new name "PLAT20V2.ITM" and changed the "Identified name" to "Blue Dragon Plate leather version". It's in "Override - 18 folder" and can be seen in the game:

but without a hood:

[hellothar]

Oops, a mistake here - did not load the save file with "thief female human" appearance. Still no hood though:

[Jarno Mikkola]

...but without a hood:

Which OS do you have, and where did you install the game to ? Uh, and you need to push the "Update value" before the save...
And if you could, would you please use the direct link so I wouldn't need to load 3 separate windows just to see the picture... the latest

Producers:

And by the way, in all those pictures, Mazzy seems to be a Fighter, and not a Fighter/Thief, because the interface would be different... so you probably have to reinstall the game according to this, but make sure you copy the "save" directory to elsewhere... or there could be other explanations of course...

[hellothar]

It's linux + wine, I did "update values" before saving.

need to load 3 separate windows

I didn't know about picture resize. That's why so tiny previews.

in all those pictures, Mazzy seems to be a Fighter,

How would you explain this then

I did it! Rather than use that override thingy in Near Infinity I edited the armor directly.


Hoods are sooo sexy.

Well, you can change the characters appearance, but that doesn't matter when you have not changed the characters class, as seen from the User Interface(it has 4 equiped weapons, the Guard icon, backbag sub menu.... but there is no Find(traps), Hide, Steal/Disarm traps icons!!!)...


As said, you would have had only to Console the new item in...
