As some of you know, I've been talking about this for a while. Let me start from the beginning.
This is basically a way for people to use the remodeling system in an informed, mistake-free fashion. To do this people need to know what looks are available for their race and gender. And they need to know which templates match the desired look. Seems simple enough, but for those who have tried, it has, so far, been too much hassle for the reward. I'm trying to change that.
Let me be up front and say this is a larger project than I had imagined. Getting all the information has been time-consuming as well as costly (in-game currency). Luckily, it hasn't been too expensive yet, and I am willing to continue my efforts until its finished.
Therefore, I hereby request help. Yes, that's right. This will go much faster with help. I can do it on my own, but you'd have to wait a LONG time before its done. To speed it up I need volunteers to do a few simple things for me.
Mostly, I need people who have uModel (or are willing to download it) and the collection of armor renders (from the Russian site or elsewhere). Then I need them to match up each render with the design in uModel.
For example, HighElf_M_L.gpk is the library housing High Elf Leather files. When you double click HighElf_M_L08_BodySkel (Skeletal Mesh file type) it will pop open a viewer and you can see what it looks like.
Step 1 - Match the looks with the renders by using a image editing program (something simple like InfranView will work perfectly. Its also free).
Step 2 - Re-save the image with a file name identifying that its design #08 and put it in png format. Something like HEM_L08.png will do fine.
Step 3 - Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all armors in the race and gender you're working on.
Step 4 - When your race and gender is complete, compress the identified renders (.rar preferred, but .zip will do) and send them to me via PM or email.
It really isn't too complicated, just time consuming.
Checklist so far:
Aman Male: Need help.
Aman Female: Need help.
Castanic Male: Need help.
Castanic Female: Complete.
Popori: Need help.
Elin: Need help.
High Elf Male: Need help.
High Elf Female: Complete.
Baraka: Need Help.
Human Male: Need help.
Human Female: Need help.
As for the final result? Well I'm not quite sure on that. I'm open to ideas, if anyone has them. Maybe a wiki of some kind? A flash program would work too, I guess.
If anyone wants to donate crafting scrolls to me, send me a whisper in the game, and I'll tell you which ones I need. These scrolls are critical to how I figure out what armors look like what. I shouldn't need runes and stuff, but if you wish to donate, I will not reject you.
And finally, if anyone has an image of all the icons of any type of armor (heavy, leather, cloth) I will need those as well. So far I have most of the hauberk icons, but am missing the rest. Here's an example:

Lets make this project happen!
