Apparently that route of breakup is reversible. Which means, you can actually HAVE a rocky relationship through the game I guess as long as you don't anger him TOO much. This could be an interesting playthrough afterall. If I can get these robes to cooperate.

Yeah, I tried that, but it was a disaster.  I guess you need to have a romance starter left in his regular dialogue, but I never found one.  I mean, all those disappear when the romance turns on, so how do you get one back? 

I also tried it once and told him "I like you but now I don't know who you are" ,then apologized later and restarted the romance with the handsome- line. I guess it's important to leave this particular line alone if you want to restart the romance. There are enough other romance starter and with enough approval this line reappeared for me. Though it also works with the amulet, but this fitted my RP needs better...or better said will fit

I was just reading your fic, at the part Lenya meets Loghain. "I don't like him" so made me want to hug her!...lol

Yay, tmp posted a project that reduces the ridiculous effects on weapons. I have to say I love the new flame rune look, my characters don't look like they're two seconds away from needing to be enclosed in cement so people don't mutate while walking past them.

Oh, excellent.  I'm not really playing now, but will check that out when I do.

[Merilsell]

Aww

Someone out of this forum is reading my ficlet. I feel all humbled I kinda dislike my first chapters of it now...but I guess it's normal in the long process of writing I'm and this FF already have been (Since Jan' 10). Maybe I rewrite them someday, dunno. 

She hates, hates HATES Loghain, so this is the
first thing that bounds her to Alistair. Heh, but yeah Lenya is the type who is strongly hanging on the first impression she gets from a person. If she doesn't like one the moment where she is meeting him/her it is hard to get on her good side then. Stubborn girl, she is. That is why Leliana won't have a good time mostly

I have a couple of chapter still un-betad though which is chapter 11- 16 so humor me...but my BR...well it seems the world has swallowed her again. >.< I really hope she will check the DocX- box soon. I truly wants to update...it's an important chapter and I want to know if the things work out how I have planned it. So I'm clicking every once in the while on my Docx box to see if she has got it and... nothing. Meh  *Is sad panda*

new layer, dump black, got it. I can see a change in the metal parts, it's darker but the rest hasn't changed. Unless I'm saving the dds wrong from PS. Which is likely it since I've not used this plugin yet.

My internet died last night and I didn't feel like fighting w/ it so I just went to sleep. 

Not all files have a tint file because certain armors in the game can't be tinted by default.  At that point if you wanted to be able to do a retint through the Toolset you would have to make your own tint map first.  If you're recoloring/retexturing through Photoshop you don't want to have a tint map at all since it will through off your coloration.  That's why for recoloring/retexturing work you always want a solid black RGB and Alpha tint file.  The exception to that is if you're working on a piece that has flesh in the Alpha layer of the tint any flesh areas have to be solid white.

The 0s is the spectral file.  This is general in gray scale in the RGB and Alpha.  If the RGB has a huge you might need to turn it to gray scale or it will throw off your recoloring.  You can also do a hue/staturation colorization to give it your own hue. 

The 0n file is the normal file.  This containts any slight textures.  For the sake of argument lets say what would appear maybe 2-3" off of the armor.  You can remove some textures from here but anything too deep will actually be in the skeletal portion of the armor piece.  There's no easy way to change that.  (If that particular piece of info is incorrect TMP feel free to step in.)

The 0d is the main texture/color you see on an armor piece.  This is the file you would be doing most of your editing on.  Personally I suggest working in layers.  It's much easier to tweak it later on if you already have everything cut up. 

In all honesty I've been told that learning how to just retint through the Toolset is far easier.  I don't currently have the patience to learn.  For me using Photoshop is easier because I've been using it since for well over 10 yrs. 

Here is the link for retint http://social.biowar..._existing_items

Here is a link to Krayzie3's tutorial on retexturing/recoloring armor http://social.biowar...1689/blog/1120/


As for what you're currently trying to do... honest I'm not sure where you're going wrong.  I'll try to break down what needs to be done again so, you can retrace your steps.

1) Open up the erf files that are in Addins/(nameofmod) for Armor of the Sten.  There might be more than one erf.  You want the erf file containing dds files. 

2) Either open w/ Photoshop the dds files you want or extract them from the erf to your desktop.  

3) You can skip opening up TMP's female version of Duncan's armor's erf files because I already am going to give you the proper naming convention for the override.



4)  Go back to your extracted files or Photoshop files.  Now you want to save (nameoffile)_0d.dds as pf_bdy_duna.od.dds

5) Repeat this process with the corresponding files.  

6) Put your new renamed files into the DA override

I started an evil, selfish b*stard playthrough today with an elf mage. It's my first evil DA:O playthrough ever, so I'm anxiously awaiting the famous Ali speech at -100 hostile. Angrystair is hot.



Oh and then a little something I doodled earlier today. The scan is not top-notch quality, I know, but that is something that cannot be helped without me buying a new scanner and currently I'm (almost) broke. Hopefully I did not mess up the link.

[Merilsell]

That's excellent work, lucius Me likes. I admire people capable of drawing. When I draw it looks like as if a blind four years old has gone mad on paper in the end xD

I don't know if real life royal marriages is of any interest to you on this thread. But I'm feeling a bit royalistic myself today. The Crown Princess of Sweden got married today here in Sweden and royalty from all over Europe was here today. Quite a show. (No, her husband isn't a match for Alistair I guess, but still...)

I am somewhat irritated by the differences in dragonbone heavy chain and dragonbone heavy dwarf armor because the heavy chain has the same lovely hue that Alistair has while the dwarf version is overpowered by the purple hue. Ugh. No biggie, but I wanted the dwarf armor in that pretty color on the left!

This is odd, by default all armours get the same amount of tint, so the heavy chainmail really looks just like the one on the right by default. Same for the massive armour Alistair is wearing in the other picture for that matter.

If it looks different in your game then i'd guess it's a mod doing it, and it doesn't include the heavy dwarf armour hence the difference?

I did some investigating. The only things in my override folder are mainly hairstyles, facial cosmetics, your proportion fixes, and some dialogue changes (alistair, pearl, whatever). The only two things that affected armor mods were Morrigan's SA robes and your tint fix. (As a general rule, I don't really download armor mods because those mainly were for humans, which were pointless in my games. Except for Serissa's GW armor!)

I took out your tint folder and loaded up the game again.

Mikhael sells two sets of identical armor in his inventory. Same price, same stats, but different icons.



I actually didn't see a second set of plate armor so I went to Wade, bought his heavy plate armor (silverite) and sold it to Mikhael so he'd upgrade it to dragonbone. The icons were different.



So that explains why the dwarf heavy armor is purple looking. It was because I sold my set to Mikhael so he'd upgrade it to dragonbone for me. There was no default look for dwarf armor being available on Mikhael like the unique colors/icons for the heavy chainmail and heavy plate. I didn't test out the leather colors, fyi.

Gilsa- are the dwarf kisses working out ok? I tested but not as much as i'd like.

Ahh so wait, Warden's Keep has its own version of heavy chainmail and plate? That would explain it, i don't have it so had no idea it'd come with its own variation for regular armour types. And they probably come with their own tint mask texture if nothing else, so that'd explain the different look from the default game items.

edit: or hmm, maybe they just don't apply the tint, period. Either way gives the different look so, well.

Yes, they're all great -- no issues whatsoever! I didn't realize how much they would improve the mood of the extra romance mods. I would just look the other way when things didn't line up, including the kisses, big deal, but with your fix, I am actually more drawn into the moment and don't feel left out. The kiss fixes were just perfect, thank you for adding them. I feel included now!

Warden's Keep is also the place you go to for upgrading armor pieces. You sell them to the guy, go to camp, and come back and buy them back off of him. Generally speaking, pieces get upgraded, but not all of them. I remember upgrading my massive dwarf plate armor to him and buying them back at dragonbone. The tint did not change. The colors are exactly the same as the default, which was fine by me.

I will check out the leather in a bit and see if there are any noticable changes in the color.

The Upgrade Wand might fix your issue totally Gilsa.  It's worth a try.  It will automatically tint w/e according to item level.  I haven't tried it w/ Warden's Keep gear yet though. 

@TMP I'm pretty sure that Warden's Keep uses it's own tints as if you get studded leather regardless of tier it shows up a deep blue that is something totally different than the coloration of Drakescale.

I figured that at daytime here in Europe everyone in PST-zone is still asleep. Often it's late in the night for me where the thread is moving. Either I'm there to read it or are busy to catch up the other day. I'm living in teh dread-time zone .__.

Edit: Looked at DA for recent Alistair art and found this. I thought the manip was nicely done as Alistair blends in well.
