Show me those .dats!

[Avarice]

Epic.

[Kerberoz]

Haven't decided if I should try to retexture the body or just leave it alone, or maybe just do something with the wings, or... dunno.

*hides in a corner and cries*

[Aksannyi]

I don't get it. Is there a joke to it or something? Or is it just for the sake of totally making the Aerns look really strange because they have a huge pyramid-type thing where their heads should be?

Someone please explain to me why it's done ...

[Aksannyi]

Ahh, thank you much. I'm obviously not familiar with the Silent Hill series.

[Fridell]

Try it, Silent Hill is good stuff.
And that Pyramid-head Aern made me fall out my chair.

Now someone needs to go kill JoL and record this raping everyone.

[Avarice]

Holy fucking christ... that's amazing.

[Kohan]

Fantastic. Installed as of right now.

What size are you saving the .dat edits to? 256x256 or higher? I had errors when I was attempting this a while ago where it couldn't accept my higher rez textures, instead of scaling them down it was just pretending they were still small and got the overlapped look.

I started reading up so I could do stuff like this... there's some hex editing involved... but idk really >.>

[Kerberoz]

To swap in higher resolution texture, you need to use VRS.

- Save new texture as bmp
- Open model in VRS
- Import new texture (select main model box, file->import
- Select the texture you want to change (need to create one if you're starting from scratch)
- Go to view->texture open
- Choose new texture, then change the R-B X and Y values to 1 less than your resolution
- Export model, etc

you used to have to hex edit the final dat, but I've never had to do it since the new VRS was released, so it was probably a bug from the old one.

It's a bit different for world/zone textures. Have to (AFAIK) hex edit them.

Though, I haven't had the time to work on it at all like I thought I would.

ROM4\9\55.DAT I think

[Aksannyi]

Just did this one for Kirin's Pole:

Did a lighter one, as well, but it was too light for my liking, so I saved the .bmp if I changed my mind and made it darker.

I did the nude outfit, as well, because I really thought my nude set was ugly as hell.

Spent hours on this until I got it looking the way I wanted it, but behold, the Duelist's Jubbah:

Modeled after the Cleric's Jubbah you can find on FFXIdats here (and has probably been posted in this thread):
o.O.o Final Fantasy XI Dats o.O.o - Cleric's Jubbah

I use that .dat on my WHM, btw, and I loved it so much that I had to make one for my RDM, so here it is. Spent several - and I do mean several - hours working on it and I'm damn proud. I'll probably be uploading it on FFXIdats eventually, but for now, it's nearly 6 AM. Going to bed.

[darkepyon]

Very nicely done.

[Cream Soda]

That's awesome. Keep more coming
