Makes me think of a weird, creepy, bloody eye. Could easily freak a meek person out if they saw a load of them lined up. I like that.

Also downloading the pack, since I usually like your work. It's doubtful you'll be able to respond before I'm done downloading it, but for the sake of other people -- and I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but I've missed it -- what exactly is the EXE? A self-extracting archive, or an application containing the DATs?

I think I speak for the entire BST community when I agree that all our jugpets need glasses.

I mean seriously, their accuracy sucks.

Spectacles on Courier Carrie please!

**Kerberoz** · 2009-02-18 16:15

It's a self-extracting rar. Can change the path etc

Trying to save Carrie for something truly inspired! Maybe I'll give her a minigun or something

**Max™** · 2009-02-18 16:18

Carrie is one of the scrappiest little tanks ever.

Give her an Aegis/Excal, and a Koenig color scheme makeover!

Do you happen to have a list of what the DATs are, or is there a way for me to view them exclusively? I have AltanaView, FFXI Model Viewer, etc., but I've never pointed them at a directory outside FFXI's own. Do I simply go into configuration and point it toward the DATs I've extracted?

That would be awesome. Could add the gun and switch her baskets to ammo boxes full of depleted uranium.

NSFW warning would be nice on some of these...

I know it's nothing special, but it's just something I've wanted to do for a while.
Swapped this in for my haubergeon because my eyes were about to explode from seeing on eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeveryone (including me)... Now only taru haubs look like me! I did a quick version first just to make sure I liked it, used it in game for a day and then got free time between camps so I reworked it. What you see is the differences between my v1 and v2.

What I was actually thinking of doing was swapping a good looking armor set with some obscure armor nobody wears. From there I can mod myself into that obscure armor set (now the good looking dat swapped armor) with the race/gear changer program so I can see myself running around in it, without seeing anyone else with it.

Man, that looks amazing.

submitting Panzer Percival and the normal green/black beetles with fixed feet on ffxidats now~

If only the monsters in this game were this good.

Interestingly, this thread makes me want to go back and play FFXI.

Mods really make me happy and help keep my interest up as well. I know people get by without them, and to each their own, I suppose, but I love customization. These really breathe some life into the aesthetics.

**Knyghtmayre** · 2009-02-20 22:47

Redid the haub swap again because I still wasn't happy with it. After a lot of tweaking, I'm sticking with this:

There was some green in the edging and the color was too brown for my liking. If anyone wants it, I'll upload it somewhere, though I doubt anyone does.

Be more confident about your work. Upload it to FFXIDATs.

**Mots** · 2009-02-21 10:32

I actually liked it a bit more with the dull red. Its too bright for my tastes now. XD

Its still really awesome though. I would also like it if you uploaded it on the FFXIdats site. Though, I'm a hume so I cant wear it. ; ;

**Zaredx** · 2009-02-24 11:27

I has a couple of varying suckitude.

Oldest ones: Nashira / Walmart Turban to Match my Walmart Whitemage Gear

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...by/nashira.jpg

Also for WHM, Reverend Mail Retexture. The seaming is because the SS is from Foyle, which has texturing issues apparently. Looks fine in game or in Altana Viewer.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...tby/hauby2.jpg

Here we have a matching set of Hauberk, Haidate, and Dusk Gloves.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...yakko-dusk.png

This is a retex of the Enkidu Harness for if/when I get my hands on one!

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...du-harness.png

Finally, somebody suggested I retexture the puppets! It turns out every head/body combination has its own separate model, so you can easily have the mage head change the body too! I haven't got around to most of the retextures, but I've done 1.5-2

First is e-body/ridill Valoredge: The head is askar head with the black replaced with e-body slate.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...adaman-pup.jpg

Edit: New version with Ace's Helm Instead

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...dark-valor.png

And also Kyuidogi Sharpshot! Kinda sux, puppet textures are all mirrored, so can't make it asymetrical without redoing the UW coordinates, and I'm the lazy. Couldn't figure out what to do with the head so I left it as-is.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...ot-kyudogi.png

Edit: Now with O-hat (ish)

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...pshot-ohat.png

Next I guess is changing blm head/frame to socr. hat + morrigan body, and/or whm

[Edit: Done]

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...gan-spirit.png

Finally, whm with nobles tunic. Kept turban the same, it was white magey enough

**Silenka** · 2009-02-24 16:51

Woooww if you don't have those puppets up on ffxidats you should really submit them...

They are awesome. I would definitely use the rng one when I level pup :D

**BadKarma** · 2009-02-24 20:59

those are the most awesome PUP dats

**Corrderio** · 2009-02-24 23:59

Awesome, now if I could only get into PUP >.>

**Zaredx** · 2009-02-25 10:57

They are up on ffxidats.com now, or at least will be when the upload gets approved.
