All PC skinners please: HELP!!! for the all-skin mod needed

[I_Raps]

You should get your throat looked at, that's a nasty cough you've picked up. fever.gif

I just sent you a pm.

[Evil666]

You're right I_Raps. The 2 skins are differents. The ni**les are differents !! lol

Lufe: I don't know why you need the link of the original thread for each skins. Surely for validate the autor of each skins for credits and name the dye correctly ??

You will found the San Diavolo's non naked skin in the download link he left on his thread. I'm feeling bad when I think about the story of this thread. I've first seen screenshots of San Diavolo non naked male skin on is "Tonight We Serve Hades" thread here:
http://www.titanquest.net/forums/mod...olo#post156482

I've ask if he could make a shirtless muscular male skin with it and he had release the "New Males Skins" thread with Naked and Non Naked Male Skins on it. If he simply have made non nude skins, everybody here surrely saying he's doing a great job at it, but he made a full naked skin too, and the screenshot on the thread was the naked one.

You know what happens next. Everybody laugh about his thread and he got no credit for his work... A bad story but the Non Nude Male Skin still really good. There is 2 differents "squirt" colors, a red one and a grey one.

The download link is here:

Yup, that and see a bit of the story behind the making of the skin itself. Helps when giving the name, for example, that's why I got the hint of the TheRaven/Bbird dicotomy.

Yup, I read the whole story. A pity, but SanDiavolo seems to have taken the whole havoc around it lightly. You will see that he wasn't hooked by the whole thing, didn't flame anybody, etc. Then again, he came back 1 1/2 month later to ask something and was ignored completely and since then disappeared from here.

I wouldn't say it's your fault, Evil666, just sometimes things happen. In this case, well, it happened that made a failed attempt on the nude male skin. It's even worse than the female's because a tri-dimensional representation of the p3nis was needed - not so much on the female, but very noticeable on the male. I specially like this comment:

Anyways, I've found out the two .tex inside that link. I guess I was misguided by the name: TQ300_2.1.3NudePatch.zip

There's only 2 .tex there, and one is the nude, other is the non-nude. I also noticed that it doesn't include a work on the malepc01bmp.tex. I can't find anywhere a nice malepc01bmp.tex for bare-chested guys. It looks ugly with the standard one, but I guess no male modder bothered about it:



We can see the ugly bmp stuff there, making the character less enjoyable.


I_Raps: throat goes fine, only sometimes it gives a cough at the wrong time

[I_Raps]

Ow! That looks painful. Where's the link to download that skin? I might see what I can do about a bmp. I think I've gotten the hang of it.

The skin is SanDiavolo's. You can find it as Evil666 said here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/51715153...3NudePatch.rar

You'll find it inside the zip file a lot of directories, but don't worry, the skin is there. There's two trees of directories with the same 2 skins in the end; one is the one above, the other one is... well, you'll see it for yourself

[Evil666]

With some kind of armor, the halfnaked skin look really good. If you cant do something, go ahead I_Raps.

A new bmp file could help other halfnaked skins like kelembribor21 skins here:

[I_Raps]

Here it is - actually they, since there are two versions. The normally named version is my preference, the 1 version is slightly less cut. Truthfully, I'm not sure anyone who hasn't been staring at them "under the microscope" for an hour will see any difference.

I only tested it with the red-skirted original, but since the others were based on that one, I doubt they did anything different with the musculature, so it should still look alright.

That's a very good work, I_Raps, I present here for male skin fans the result:



If we compare it with the one 5 posts above, it's a HUGE enhancement.

Thanks for your work

[lufe]

Some interesting statistics so far:

- 79 skins for the female are adult
- 68 skins for the female are general
- 1 skins for the male is adult
- 33 skins for the male are general

[lufe]

Last news about this mod:

- I've run into some trouble with the hard limitations of the game. This means that there's only 30 slots available for dyes on each merchant.

- Given this limitation, I'm forced to use the rings and amulets slots to maximize the number of dyes to concentrate all dyes in as little merchants as possible.

- Dyes will be available as follows:
1) General female skins - 90 of them - on the only merchant of Helos, the first town of the game
2) Rest of general female skins (10 of them) + Adult skins (95 of them) will be available on Sparta (in the case of the non-adult version, some of the General Female skins will be repeated there).
3) Male skins will be available on Megara (third town of the game). Both merchants will have them, and this avoids the need of getting out the amulets and rings from the megara merchants
4) There will be no rings or amulets on Helos or Sparta

If someone reads this and thinks that it's a huge hassle the lack of rings on Helos and Sparta, please let me know. It was the best compromise I could have so far.

I need beta testers. Later today, I'll be releasing a beta version. Can someone help me with that?

- Known issues so far (no need to report it, it's already on fix list):
1) There's only 4 new bottles (excluding I_Raps's two bottles, which are already ready) available at the moment for testing. This will change when fathersquid releases them.
2) Bottles show a bit weird on the screen because they're using the standard bottle BMP. Will be fixed if I get hold of corrected BMPs for these bottles
3) There's no non-adult version yet. Non-adult version will be a nerfed version of the adult version, so it will come only at the last moment. About this matter: there will be only one version of this mod, i.e., only one database.arz will exist. The differences between adult and non-adult versions are only in the way that the skins will be available.

Now, answer to some questions:

I investigated this. Unfortunately, the game won't let people connect to the modded game or connect from the modded game to another game if you're using the mod. I'm asking for help of Soulseekkor or bman654 to see if it has a solution.

If a person has allskins mod and Skins for Dummies installed, they will get Skins for Dummies's skins if they choose the standard colors (white, yellow, black, etc). If a person has allskins mod and NOT skins for dummies installed, and they choose the standard colors, they will get the standard skins. Allskins mod doesn't interfere at all with the standard skins installed on the game.

Allskins mod installs its own skins in a separate directory. While standard skins are e.g. on Creature/pc/female/, Allskins's skins will be on Allskins/Creature/pc/female.

I don't think he want to make 2 version of it, and I want to be able to use naked skin if I want to. If SfD overpass the skin choose by your mod, I will get my naked skin and everyone will be happy.

The Adult and Non-Adult versions of Allskins mod will be fully compatible, because their database.arz files are the same. Only the skins they point to will be different. Skins are on these directories:

Allskins/Creatures/pc/female/general
Allskins/Creatures/pc/female/adult
Allskins/Creatures/pc/male/general
Allskins/Creatures/pc/male/adult

The "trick" of using the non-adult version is having the same database.arz, BUT the skins on Allskins/Creatures/pc/female/adult and Allskins/Creatures/pc/male/adult won't be the real adult ones. They will be again the non-adult ones. Since this directory (Allskins/Creatures/) doesn't have any influence on the compatibility between version check, there will be two versions of it. A side effect of this may be that if one user is using the adult version and other the non-adult version, the non-adult version user will see a different skin on you, but that's all. No other side-effect will happen.
