This mod allows for modification of the character select portraits, by hex editing the introduction.arc where they are kept to take them from a different location. Simply install the template, then install modified portraits afterwards or switch between them when switching mods.
Special Thanks to:
- FluffyQuack for his arctool and figuring out to save as 8.8.8.8 ARGB
- CodeMan02Fr for teaching me to hex edit the arc
If you would like to read a tutorial on how to edit your own, if not download the Template and if you would like to test it, the example mod
Or if your just here to install the template to install a portrait mod, feel free!
Example:
Tutorial:
1. First install the template
2. For this tutorial I'am going to modify Jill BSAA portrait to Helena for Kernelzilla mod, navigate in the template to "cs_jill04_ID_RAW.dds" and open it (it will require nvidias DDS plugin for Photoshop)
3. Now Jill BSAA is open, I'm going to find a render of Helena with transparency and import it into photoshop over Jill
4. Right now Helena isn't the right size, so were going to resize her to the size of Jill's old model. (I made a silly and forgot to maintain aspect ratio, you can find this when resizing at the top in between the W and H. The icon there.)
5. Once were happy with the size, go to the layers and delete Jill's old layer
6. Now go into channels and delete the old Alpha channel, we're doing this so that it creates a new Alpha channel for Helena.
7. Next save it as a .dds then 8.8.8.8 ARGB, might want to save it to a different location so that you don't save over the template.
8. Now if you don't have Sectus arc tool get it here
Paste your "cs_jill04_ID_RAW.dds" and the old .tex from the template provided into the arc tool folder and drag "cs_jill04_ID_RAW.dds" over "conv-re6tex" and it should convert to .tex.
9. Install your modified portrait
10. Check ingame!
Before:
After
Hope you found this usefull!
If someone knows better techniques, editing skills, faster ways in the steps I will change it accordingly
Hope to see more portraits for mods ^_^ Enjoy!
