Shoessssss.

I put together a mod using the shoe mesh from Project Britania's Ultima conversion. I used some custom textures to make a mini mod and was wondering if anyone might like to try it out. This mod is compatible with both DS1 and DS LoA.

For easier testing, I edited in the shoes to the heroes.gas so they are all right there when a character is first created. If you want to try the mod, keep in mind that this particular testing version will clash with mods that alter heroes. Later versions will not have any changes to heroes.gas This mod was tested with both DS Revived and DS Revived for LoA, with no issues...at least on my end.

From the read-me:
This mod adds a new type of footwear, shoes. Wanting to have shoes in the game was a long time desire of mine. Some types of armor just doesn't look right to me with boots on. So, thanks to the folks at Team Archon for creating the meshes for shoes and all the other creative work they have done!

The meshes are made *only* for the default farmgirl/farmboy model and will not function properly with any map or mod that changes the default "farmperson" meshes. I couldn't make the equip requirements work to exclude the other races, so there are no equip requirements in this test mod.

Nothing very drastic happens if some character other than the default "humans" use the shoes. It just looks weird. There are more details about this in the read-me file.

Some screenshots:

The shoes give the armor a sleeker appearance,IMO.

Weird stuff trying to make the correct equipment requirements. Despite the kind help from PhoeniX, ghastely and Darkelf, I just couldn't make it work. I think it will be okay though. I won't have to make any changes to the formula or heroes.gas and that should make the mod pretty compatible with most other mods. My main concern was that something would happen to someone's game if a character of the wrong race equips the shoes, like their head would explode or their computer would catch on fire. But, this doesn't appear to be that big of a deal, more of an appearance issue than anything else.

Some really pretty shoes right here (not).

Catmansion boy does okay with the shoes, surprisingly. I mean, yeah, they look strange, but you can still see the texture instead of ugly error stripes. Even if he looks like he has invisible feet. :P

In fact, all the characters that could put the shoes on, even though it was the wrong mesh, got the full benefit of the armor rating and any modifiers that were on the item. There are some more details on this in the read-me as well.

I'll be working on this mod some more, but with the holidays and stuff I'm not sure when. I DO have a fair amount of shoes waiting though...
