DAT Mod File Collection

[Rones]

Devifoxx of Quetzacoatl (with a some help from me and Nicolette) created a very well documented (pics for all mods) and organized collection of just about every custom .DAT we could find publically available. If you would like this collection, you may download it here (48.4mb). (http://www.devimension.com/devi_data/ffxidatcollection.rar) If you have mods you would like to contribute, feel free to submit them to Devifoxx or me (easiest to submit them to Devi since he manages the collection). Email addresses are included in an text file within the collection. I hope this is a big help to all those interested in giving their ffxi a unique appearance. :thumbsup:
Edit(11/4/05): So you don't have to flip through several pages, you can find both links here-

[Tygleris]

Suggestion: If you have a website, put a gallery up there. I'm downloading it to check out what's there, but it could end up being a waste of my time >.>

[Rones]

Considering the very large number in the collection and regular updates, that would take a lot of work to create a gallery for all of them. You can view pictures of each DAT after you download the collection though. While we are somewhat lacking male mods, there is an absolute abondence of female mods, so unless you consider all the mods on mmx oops plus many other sources a waste, you won't be disappointed. Not exactly a big download that will waste much of your time either unless you are on 56k.

[Skizokitsu]

Its downloading ^^; first .dat's I get to see! ^^; Can't find anything decent that I desire on google. Thanks for posting this! ^^

[Gulkeeva]

The colelction should specify what race can use those custom weapons since it will look messedup if used on the wrong race I belive~

[Lakai]

Pretty cool, good work guys, thank you for the time and effort ^~^

[Tokitoki]

I wish there were the Hume AA swords in the collection... I do like SL's GAxe though ^^

[Hyrist]

Heh, I could use some tips for the model editing from you guys.

I like alot of what you've done here, and you've given me some fresh ideas to work with.

You've also hooked me up with the Updated Model Viewer, for that you rock.

Keep at it!

[DarkxMako]

hey, anyone know where to find a list of the .dat files that contains the graphics for spells?

[DeviFoxx]

Hey, DeviFoxx here from Quetzalcoatl.

I just wanted to say I updated the DAT set with more dumps.

For your convenience I put the Update.TXT dump on my site. Use this link to see it.

http://www.devimension.com/devi_data/ffxi_datupdate.txt

And as usual, the DATs are located at:

http://www.devimension.com/devi_data/ffxidatcollection.rar

Again. It kinda took a while to decode and identify each DAT because most of them came
from Japanese websites, and the files had odd names that were encoded in something
other than Japanese characters... Weird Unicode symbols and things of that nature.

But Rones and I gathered the files (with a big help from Nicolette, a Tarutaru SMN Girl on
Quetzalcoatl) and slapped 'em in here for your convenience. I know that there's alot of
up-and-comming DAT modders out there, so I hope viewing what DATs already exist will
help you out.

Hope you guys enjoy it. :thumbsup:

[Yasmine]

i didnt see the mithra atari hoodie in there, could you add that one?

[DeviFoxx]

"Mithra Atari Hoodie"? I'm not sure what you mean.

[Tokitoki]

Im guessing, based on the name, that it is a hooded sweatshirt for mithras that has the atari logo on it ^^;

[Kkwiskool]

I cant seem to DL the file... =( a window just pops up with a bunch of text on it that I can't decipher.

[Yasmine]

a picture is actually in one of the posts on the forums. i'll try to find it and put it here when i get back from work. it's in one of those .dat compilation posts (the ones where everyone just posts all of their junk)

i thought it looked cool to go with my monk or thf attire but sadly, no dat was posted.

[Rones]

I cant seem to DL the file... =( a window just pops up with a bunch of text on it that I can't decipher.
First, be sure to right click, select save target as on the download link. Second, you need a .rar opener for it, such as win rar. Just type winrar in at www.download.com and you can find plenty.

[DeviFoxx]

There has been a very large update to the .DAT collection now.

Please refer to the Update.TXT mentioned earlier for details.

There was updates to about every race. It was large enough to where I'm
exhausted now. Hahaha

Let me know what you think. Thank you.

[Tokitoki]

Ill check em out now and let you know what I think ;p

Very cool, lots of new stuff for Elvaan Male which is always good ;p I just wish there was a Shadow Lord's GAxe for Elv M

[Hyades]

Hmm, I guess I'll download this after I get done reinstalling windows and for the mods I don't have on my site already that this pack contains, I will sort them out and put them on my site with picture + d/l according to race in a couple weeks. So I'm doing the boring work you could say.

As for the GA for elvaan, it can easily be done. I'll do it someday and add it to my site, but not anytime soon.

[DeviFoxx]

The set has been updated once again.

Please view the Update.TXT for details.

[Kilandor]

dunno crazy idea here but... why don't you release just say what you update so people don't have to download ALL of it again every update?

[Tokitoki]

cause it only takes a min to downlaod anyway and putting it together is a lot neater then hosting over 200 files?

[Kilandor]

sure it only takes a min of you have fast connection but not everyone does. anyways wouldn't be hosting over 200 files, considering they would be in rar format.

[Rones]

If you check the updates page you will see there have been 7 updates so far. Who wants to download the origonal + 7 individual update rars? For anyone except 56k users (which need to get with the program), the file is a quick download still. Maybe if it reaches the point of actually being a large download, starting a new collection to regularly update might be in order, but right now the size is fine.

Same thing happens with America's Army. Rather than trying to download the numerous patches you missed, it is easier to just redownload the full current. It's not as efficient, but it is far easier and less time consuming for those us with decent net connections. The internet is not catered to the slowest connection.

[Stromgarde]

Attatched are the updated version of Souledge (with super stretch texture power) and Requiem, which turned out very nicely. Both Elvaan M. Also, if you happen to know anyone who knows how to work with VRS, mind putting them in touch with me?

[Selenity]

I have a mod that would be wonderful to add to your collection - if you could figure it out. It's for adding a ribbon to the end of mithra tails - I don't know how to make it work.

Also here's is the whole set of Nanaa's Armor for Mithras (Including the body)

http://www.eternity-forever.net/crap/483_nana.izh <=My domain

[DeviFoxx]

Thank you very kindly for your submissions. I'll be sure to add them in the next update.

But yeah, why do you think I post the .RAR and the .TXT of what I updated? lol

You have a simple choice of if you wanna D/L it now or what.

In any case... Aside from these .DATs, I also got another dump of Custom SMN Avatars I
need to add into the set as well... Give me a while to add them...

Double Post Edited:
Hmm...

Selenity. Your URL isn't working for me, sorry to say.

[Selenity]

Hmm.. stupid domain always seems to hate me..

try http://www.eternity-forever.net/crap/

There's a link there to download - also I ahve a very strange mod that I can't figure out how to work - it's for adding a ribbon to mithra tails - damned if I could figure it out. If you'd like I could add a link there if you'd like to try it out.

[Rasen]

Hi. Was looking at the updates you've added. One of them being "my" crimson wyvern.

While the colour scheme was my idea, and it was made for me, I didn't make it myself. The actual creator is a player by the name of Artea.

Just clearing this up so that the person who actually did the work get the credit.

[Gulkeeva]

Hmm.. stupid domain always seems to hate me..

That tail mod replaces a piece and puts it as a tail, basically only place this could be put is like.. the head armour piece or sheild so no body piece goes "missing"

I use it also~ below is my paladin using it (replaced the cache-nez /nod

http://www.airems.com/images/angel2.jpg

[Nicolette]

gulk your pld is wearing the winged paladin mod that I have been completely unable to track down.. mind sharing?

[DeviFoxx]

Yes, Rasen. I saw, hahaha. I was reading the thread. Artea did a nice job, too.

Selenity, thanks for the .DAT, I'll be sure to slap it into the next update (which is comming
very shortly I might add. Check the TXT soon)

And yes, Gulkeeva, by all means, post your tail mod. Include a picture as well. It'll save lots of time.

[Selenity]

http://www.eternity-forever.net/crap/

There's two different ribbon mods there - because I couldn't remember what was what ^^;

[DeviFoxx]

Ehhh... Don't worry about it. Just lay it on me. I'll sort it all out.

I'm getting them right now. Expect them to be in the next update.

[Selenity]

Awsome - I have more too if you don't already have them.

Do you also make your own mods? x.x

[DeviFoxx]

No. I don't. Atleast not yet anyway.

Before I do any kind of mod editing, I want my original PC to be fully repaired (which it's
being right now). That, and I wanna have a decent grasp of the programs I'm editing with.

My signature, yes, I made myself. And I do play around with textures from time to time.
I wanna do more stuff like taking the models of my character(s) and photoshopping them
into... say... a real-life forest. So it looks like FFXI characters crossed over into the real
world.

But yeah. Post whatever ya got. Please be sure to identify (include a picture if possible) of
each .DAT

It'll save a whole lot of time.

[Gulkeeva]

hmmm I can try posting sometime I'd need like look for it again I also got this one

http://www.airems.com/images/demon1.jpg

notice the wings on this also

[Selenity]

If you could find those - I would love to use them to replace the crap that is the armor my bard and white mage use - I love those models

[Nicolette]

the only winged one we have in the collection so far (and I say we because even though its rones and devifoxx's collection i've been doing lots of legwork for it .. check the update .txt =p ) is:

http://ffxi.machinax.com/images/otherimgs/39-0.jpg

[Rones]

Strange, I have those first two winged versions. Thought I had included those when I sent them to Devifoxx. Hmm, must have fallen between the cracks some place as I have them incorporated into my game already, might have to pull them from their.

[DeviFoxx]

Aye... Nicolette. I'll be sure to give you your credit where it's due.

In any event:

The DAT Dump has gone through yet another large update.

I warn you in advance however; this one has alot of adult-oriented DATs
in it... Especially for Hume Female & Elvaan Female.

Well, atleast we know where some of these modders excel the most, eh?
Some of them even made something for Hume Male & Tarutaru Male...
Thanks to various people, the DAT collection now includes things like
Ulmia's Costume, Lion's Costume, Cammy's Costume (From Street
Fighter Alpha), and plenty more.

So... Enjoy yourselves. Be sure to READ the update TXT.
As usual, the top one's the updates, and the bottom is the file itself:

http://www.devimension.com/devi_data/ffxi_datupdate.txt (http://www.devimension.com/devi_data/ffxi_datupdate.txt)
http://www.devimension.com/devi_data/ffxidatcollection.rar (http://www.devimension.com/devi_data/ffxidatcollection.rar)

Enjoy. I'm gonna rest now.

[Nicolette]

If I find 100 more .dats I get a cookie! :) Your update txt mentions finding clothing sets for cloud, sephiroth and barrett.. maybe ill look for those or see if artea from ragnarok is back or something. amadaun has enough work on her hands atm to ask her =p (no i'm not just promoting my own selfish need for goth austeres and reskinned avatars.. well maybe not much.)

Cloudwise id love to see the FFVII:AC armor set made since its better imo than the original armor from ffvii.

good work on the .datdump update tho, i get to switch 3 more models :)

[Selenity]

yay more dats.. still barely any for female elvaans ; ; we get no love. However at least now I have plenty of .dats for my mithra buddy. Good job and thanks ^^. I'll see if I have anymore dats that you dont have. Though I'm waiting to see if you get more elvaan female gear (namely gothic lolita ones <.<)

[Nicolette]

think I found another グソロリ ophile. =p

[Selenity]

lol probably <.< Though my japanese is horrible.. hell I suck at english sometimes.. but I do own a semi-gothic lolita dress.. I bought a Freya (Dark Chii from Chobits) inspired dress.. complete with bell-sleeved arm warmers and cute belled collar ^^;

[DeviFoxx]

Speaking of "Goth", there's some stuff that I wanted to get ahold
of as well.

Like I mentioned, yeah, a Sephiroth costume.

But I also want an Ark Angel Head for Elvaan Male Face #1, Color Type "B",

(The Head I use.)

Also... I want the Ark Angel Mithra's one-handed Axe... It looks so awesome.

I've only seen it duplicated for Mithra & Hume Female though.

[Selenity]

If I knew how to port things over to other races I'd do that - but I don't ^^;

I got some dats today though - I'll look at them and see what they are and if you have them or not.

[tazirai]

nice .dat listing ill add my own for you to include soon

[DeviFoxx]

There's several DATs that I have myself that haven't been added to the collection yet.

Pretty much I've been renaming the files, checking them, and creating pictures when there
were none...

Nicolette, Rones, Selenity, Stromgarde, etc...

They all played a big part (Nicolette found alot of .DATs).

I'm just trying to "catch up" basically.

If anyone has any they'd like to submit, feel free to do as such.

It'd make it easier if both a picture was provided, and each .DAT was named properly.

Double Post Edited:
A minor note. My personal website in which I use to host my files is temporarily down.

My domain service is having issues resolving the DNS. It should be back up shortly.

[tazirai]

nice .dat listing ill add my own for you to include soon

Okay heres a couple of mine
All .Dats I post are self created
This is the Summoner Skill up set I created from the fishing Guild item.

[DeviFoxx]

Not bad. You did a good job.

I like how the edges have the triangles on it like SMN AF.

What's the symbol on the Apron supposed to represent?

[Selenity]

The glowly thing kinda reminds me of Carbie's ruby.

Now that I've finished my first set of mithra heads (3 different heads) I'd like to offer them for download in your pack.

They are black haired/green eyed versions of Face 5 - one just recolored and two long haired versions of it. Pictures are included.

[DeviFoxx]

Thank you. I'll be sure to add these in the next update.

[tazirai]

Not bad. You did a good job.

The symbol represents light emerging from darkness.

[Gulkeeva]

Been looking for this one, wonder if anyone has it
http://www.airems.com/images/1801_m_new_race01.jpg

[DeviFoxx]

Whoever made it never posted a .DAT for it.

[Froenflame]

and i just put this on whatever i want to replace?

[DeviFoxx]

...Well, yeah.

That's what the .TXTs I included say.

[Sinbreakerblade]

Thos Dat. files are pretty bad ass i even use some of thos that i got from the big file. I like the way i look in this gear:rofl: :thumbsup:

Double Post Edited:
Froenflame and i just put this on whatever i want to replace?

Not a good idea if you dont know what your doing, You can allways use FFXImodelviewer-JAP ver. I mean FFXImodelviewer-Eng ver. And on the top right, It tell you where each .dat file it use to make your char. here a ex. 1-32-120, you can tell it will be Rom File> File 32> dat file 120. Please note that you need to make a back up if you do something wrong and it dont come out right. But i may be doing something wrong. With me everythink come out right but some how i think i saying something wrong.

[Sinbreakerblade]

Hey what the deal with no Hume male AA ; ;. Man i wouldnt mind having walking around as a hume male AA XD (Arck Angel)

[Yasmine]

ok, here's that hoodie i was talking about. if you can that dat, that would be awesome.

btw. i did not make that (duh?). the originator can be found in the "post your custom .dats" topic in the forums here.

Edit: i just made my own hakama in two different lengths.

[Froenflame]

heh just wasnt sure, i dont plan on makin it any more like it used to be, its fun running thru jeuno seeing 'naked' mules lmao

[Sinbreakerblade]

didnt some one do make a .dat file for that LOL

[DeviFoxx]

The .DAT collection's recieved a minor update again.

As usual, to see what I updated, check the .TXT file.

Not much was updated, but thanks to Nicolette, it now contains a
somewhat rare .DAT for Mithra. She took the picture herself.

That's it for now.

[Sinbreakerblade]

One day i going to make a Hume Male AA armor so i can wear it so i can look like one of the AA-hume male. I still been looking for that dat. for it. I know this tho i REALLY dont feel like maken it LOL. But when it come down to it i will just make the bloody thing.

Oh yeah i know why thos people are allways hitting on me now LOL

[Ryadbraman]

I was hoping someone could find this one and maybe modify it for use with Elvaans??

http://tune.ache-bang.com/~vg/modules/gsbbs_zero/sread_view.php?view_id=735&page=4&mode=fromlist

[Selenity]

Devi - There's an error with one of that .dats in your collection - Exposed Swimsuit and Sha'ir had an error while extracting. Just letting you know.

[_TrAkA_]

Lol.Nice!

[DeviFoxx]

You know what the error specifically was?

Double Post Edited:
More specifically, can you identify not only what the problem was, but what specific file as well.

adding to your rep for all your contributions ^^

BTW im working on several new .dats to use over various gear , maybe a week or so before they are done.

Heres a clue of what im working on .

Aztec Armor based on the sandstone Pot.

Shadowlord Armor for the Shade set .

Leaping boots based onthe Hippogryf from riverne.

Aern Armor set for Summoners and anyone that likes tunics.

Snoll hoodie

Those are just a few
and im doing a retool of the lizard set all credit to the owner for the original ^^

[Selenity]

I redownloaded it and it opened perfectly this time.. must of been my computer being a moron again ><

[Nicolette]

Reminded me.. I got a Too Long Filename error once in that same directory.
WinXP doesnt like filenames longer than 250 characters.

[Froenflame]

i cant lol works fine for me

[Hyrist]

DevilFox:

I'd like to send you some of my files for your collection. my Atma Sword and my AF reditions for once.

If you have an email address I can zip these files and send to you along with details.

[Selenity]

Nicolette thank you for being such an awsome .dat finder - you rock.

Think your skills are up to the test to find more elvaan female .dats? No one loves us ><

[thatoneguy]

really appreciate the work you guys have put into this. it has made my FFXI much more enjoyable. i hope to create my own .dats soon, but my main PC has caught some nasty virus and is being repaired.
keep up the good work!

[DeviFoxx]

Well, my E-mail address is in the collection.

DeviFoxx@Devimension.com

If you have anything you'd like to submit Tazirai & Hyrist.

Selenity, in the set, there was a number of Elvaan Female .DATs,
but unfortunately, they were enough to be put in the "Adult"
section.

Mostly the Bikini ones.

Also, alot of the Japanese modders seem to be dissatisfied with
the basic frame of the Elvaan Female body; they probably think
it looks too masculine.

So they've also been working to retool it... I have the Beta of
their workings in the DAT Collection as well.

Basically they're trying to make it so Elvaan Female has "got back".

In laymen's terms, they're making Elvaan Female's thighs thicker,
hips wider, and butt bigger... Hahahaha

They're working a bit on the chest too. Trying to go for that
"Jennifer Lopez" look.

I have a few .DATs here and there to insert into the next update,
but I'd rather recieve it in a large clump. It'll give me something
to do. So yeah, whenever you guys feel like it, send the .DATs
my way.

Double Post Edited:
Well, speak of the devil!

I just stumbled across a new DAT for Elvaan Female.

Curilla's Head

Not bad. They did a nice job, too.

I'll upload it in the next update.

[Selenity]

lol yeah they do need to be a bit curvier

I'm actually attempting to make Celes Chere's yellow/brown leather/cloth looking armor from FF6 for Elvaan females though I'm afraid I won't reallt be able to retool it til VRS is released - like stuff has to be removed from the armor I'm remaking for the body and feet ^^;

It'll either look like crap when I'm done or look goodOo

[DeviFoxx]

Well. You have my encouragement. I want my PC back already, because I have a
custom armor I wanna build for myself (Elvaan Male).

I was going to use the Black & Blue "Mammet" outfit as sort of a "base template"
for it.

But I'll get into that when I start modding myself.

[tazirai]

Yeha I concur that with the elvaan females, All the major JP mod sites are working on making elf fems look like ....well females... keke.

[Ryadbraman]

Hey DeviFoxx... can you put a link to your DAT collection page in your signature? I see your sig all over the place, but am always trying to come back to this topic for the link to the collection. :wasted:

[DeviFoxx]

How's your project comming along by the way, Tazirai?

Double Post Edited:
Gah... Alright.

[Gulkeeva]

Anyone find this by chance?

http://www.airems.com/images/thong.jpg

[DeviFoxx]

No. Unfortunately.


I've only seen pictures of it. Haven't located it.

Gott try it out looks nice

[DeviFoxx]

The .DAT Collection has been updated yet again.

And it was a large update this time-- Larger than usual!

So much that now the .DAT's filesize currently stands around 111 MB. (I think
it increased by 25+ MB or so. I'm sorry, I didn't keep count.)

As usual, you know what to do to get it.

And you know what both links do, so I shouldn't have to say it.

I made sure to give credit where credit was due, and to thank all those in their
continued support of modding, creating, and submitting .DATs.

This will also give the artists a bit of a fame boost, as their work becomes
distributed further through me. These are some very talented people.

In any case, enjoy.

(I'm uploading as we speak. The Collection should be done uploading by 8:10 A.M. PST,
so try to get it around AFTER that time.)

[Stromgarde]

You need to adjust the name length of the original folder- It caused something like 20 file path length errors when I was trying to unpack it, including my katanas.

[Sinbreakerblade]

MAN i have nothing to say about this ; ;

Double Post Edited:
http://www.airems.com/images/thong.jpg

[B]I remember seening that .dat around but i not sure where. I may have to go tho everything to find that one. I just found it like last night then i end up losing it again. Oh well I will find out about this.

[Selenity]

Oh yeah just remembered something I wanted to ask - Devi do you already have a/the mod for Hume F that gives the beastmaster af just horns on the head? If you don't I have it I just got to remember what file it is.

As for my armor set - I got the pieces picked out and a good idea how to text it - just trying to figure out the best way to go about editing the model to get it to look the way I need (IE making the boots the right length and adjusting parts of the thf af body)

[tattyana]

why are the words all squares and @'s?

[Nicolette]

wow i'm in the title! <3

anyway, unsure why youd be getting nonstandard characters in filenames. I'm installing the update now and will see what I can figure out.

also if you get the Too long filename error in winrar its because the total file path must be less than 260 characters. Try extracting to something with a shorter path such as c:\dat

[Mellowy]

I'm just sitting here hoping for the collection to become complete sometime ;)

It's not like I can't download it a lot, I just prefer to be lazy. But I get this typical AH feeling of, if I don't get it now, maybe it will disappear!

Here's for hoping it stays around some more months with updates!

[DeviFoxx]

Sorry about that, Stromgarde. But yeah. Try what Nicolette said. That most likely
is the situation.

Selenity, I have just the headgear. Been looking for the horns, but can't find 'em.

And the only reason why I'd think there'd be "squares" in the file name is because
some files require Japanese Language Support to show their name properly.

But...

That doesn't mean the file's useless. You can still use it.

Correct , In order to view the fiels in their native tongue you need to have some JP support on your machine, that allows you to see the characters correctly.

It'll never happen since .Dat modding is quite popular and people like myself, devi, strom, starvign artist and others do it all the time. The best you can do is try to get the latest updates when available or ask for them to PM you individual files. I do it soemtiems if I have the time.

[Stromgarde]

That's not really a very good soultion. I mean, the root folder is around 30 characters long, as are all of my katanas (I don't know why they got renamed, either). As it stands, I can't even extract it to My Documents without throwing an error.

[Gulkeeva]

MAN i have nothing to say about this ; ;

Double Post Edited:
http://www.airems.com/images/thong.jpg

[B]I remember seening that .dat around but i not sure where. I may have to go tho everything to find that one. I just found it like last night then i end up losing it again. Oh well I will find out about this.

I found several dat files around the forum with this but has password lock... no idea where to find password because the forum is just pictures n links.

[Selenity]

If it's a japanese forum (because I have no idea where you found this one) the password is probably in japanese somewhere - do we ahve anyone around that speaks japanese?

[Mellowy]

post linky and I'll give it a try. I think I failed the japanese exam though ^^;

[DeviFoxx]

My apologies, Stromgarde.

Didn't really take in the length of the filename into consideration.

I'll switch it around and re-upload it when I can.

However, to counter-act this, and stop this, try extraction programs such as

7-Zip - http://www.7-zip.org

Power Archiver - http://www.powerarchiver.com/

What these programs will allow you to go is take a .ZIP, .LZH, .RAR, .7Z, .ACE, etc
or any other files like that and go inside them without actually zipping them, and
rename / extract the inner files.

I hope that'll help out for now.

[DeviFoxx]

You need to adjust the name length of the original folder- It caused something like 20 file path length errors when I was trying to unpack it, including my katanas.

Alright. I'll be sure to do as such.

[Stromgarde]

I use Winrar, which also allows me to do that as well; that is, go inside the file. That's treating the symptom, not the problem, however, you seem to want to fix this. Let me explain the problem. In WinXP, this is the standard directory tree for My Documents:

C:\Documents and Settings\**** *******(12 characters, my real name)\My Documents\

That's 47 characters. Before you say this is stupid and insist I extract it to C:\, please remember that some people like to keep their root directory neat and uncluttered.

Here's what REALLY kills you though.

C:\Documents and Settings\**** *******\Desktop\DeviFoxx, Rones & Nicolette Present An FFXI DAT Collection\

That folder alone brings up the count to 106 characters. 59 characters for ONE folder. It's totally unneccessary. Put it in the readme or something if you want to fluff it up.

C:\Documents and Settings\**** *******\Desktop\DeviFoxx, Rones & Nicolette Present An FFXI DAT Collection\Weapons\Katana\

This brings us to 121. Not too bad.

C:\Documents and Settings\**** *******\Desktop\DeviFoxx, Rones & Nicolette Present An FFXI DAT Collection\Weapons\Katana\Stromgarde's 'Kadaj's Katana' [As A 1-Handed Katana, Main Slot Only] (Elvaan Female)

Holy ****, forget what I said about the first line, we are at 204 now. A difference of 83 characters. Just leave my naming conventions alone next time, and if there's something in the original post that needs to be stated, such as the fact that it's for main hand only, write a short readme or something.

I apologize if I seem like I'm ranting, but I have a very austere aesthetic sense and I hate wastefulness.

[DeviFoxx]

Hahahahaha

Don't worry, Stromgarde. It's quite alright. I'll get to fixing it right now.

Give me a moment, I'll rename them.

Double Post Edited:
There. I fixed it now. (I hope)

Go for it.

[Selenity]

Just wanted to say thank you to all you guys and girls (almost said Gals Oo) who help make this possible! You guys rock and make this game seriously less boring.

Double Post Edited:
Also I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to extract parts of say an npc model to use as a pc model.

To clear that up I have the .dds and .bmp for lion's head (as we already have her armor) the only thing missing is her .mqo for her head - which is what I'd like to extract and make available for hume girls (along with a recolor of it).

The other head (which seems would be easier) is Ulmia's - I just love how her face looks.. I also love how she runs.. it's so cute

[Stromgarde]

It's kind of complicated to port NPC parts to PC, particularly the face and body. there's like ten skeletons to deal with and for unique models there's no guarantee there will even be a skeletel counterpoint for it to look good (i.e. Tenzen).

[Selenity]

Yeah - though I think Ulmia's might be easier because she seems to use the same model as the similar Elvaan Female PC face (F6). I might try her's to see if it works.

[Stromgarde]

For the most part you're right; there are some minor differences, such as shape of the nose, and position of the hair. The UV maps are identical, however, making it very simple with just photoshop and Meta.

[Froenflame]

and mithra.. uh... for my friend.. he says 18+ material >.>

[DeviFoxx]

Say what now?

[Ryadbraman]

It's kind of complicated to port NPC parts to PC, particularly the face and body. there's like ten skeletons to deal with and for unique models there's no guarantee there will even be a skeletel counterpoint for it to look good (i.e. Tenzen).

This made me wonder... is it possible to get the head of the Mithra Chieftainness? I've always liked her hairstyle. ;)

[Nicolette]

I know the headdress is in the .dat collection already. The kazham chieftainess has head f2-a for mithra, so I assume you mean Perih vashai or something in windurst. As far as I know, noones modded that yet, so might be a nice project.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/NicoletteX/mithraheadfront.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/NicoletteX/mithraheadside.jpg

[DeviFoxx]

I could run my fingers through that hair all day long.

[Selenity]

lol Devi ><

I'm working on Ulmia's today - since it seems to be the easiest to day with little model editing.

That and I love how youthful her face looks.

[Yasmine]

i tried to mod that hair once. it didnt work too well. ill have to give it another shot

[Ryadbraman]

Yeah, that's the one! If only someone could merge Perih Vashai's hairstyle with face 5B, I'd probably never stop playing my Mithra. :P (Well, I might, but it will be more painful...)

Would that be possible?? Does anyone know? I like that face, and think it would look better than having someone run around with closed eyes. :eek:

*edit* btw, if you look at her name in the model viewer, it says Perih Vashai, Windurst Chieftainness. I thought that's who she was... :thumbsup:

[DeviFoxx]

She is. There's two different Chieftainesses, you know.

A Windurstian one, and a Kazham one.

The Kazham Mithras don't like the Windurst Mithras because they left Kazham to go help
out the Tarutaru tribes. They don't "recognize" them because they left their homeland of
Kazham...

(In the Vana'diel Tribune, they however hinted that there's a true "Mithran Motherland"
that's even FURTHER south than Kazham... An entire continent. Aside from hinting at the
"land to the east". We may get to go there when 'Treasures of Aht Urghan' comes out.)

[Selenity]

Spoiler Warning - If you want to see the COP storyline information about the Mithran Homeland Hi-light the barely visible text.

You find out during the last chapters of the COP story that the Shikaree Trackers come from the Mithran Home city ruled by the Mithra Queen, which apparently is far to the east (I'm guessing somewhere between Sandy and Windy continents - Quoun and Mindara?) as Shikaree Y I think it is says after she finishes her detailed report and delivers it to the queen she is retiring and returning home.

[DeviFoxx]

Quon and Mindartia.

There's still some speculation as to where precisely the land is.

From my understanding, the only land that lies to the far east is "Aht Urghan". The land which
Tenzen hails from. Judging from the Armor, and screenshots of the next expansion, the land
is going to be Asian / Middle-Eastern (Like India & Saudi Arabia) type themed.

In the Vana'diel Tribune, I believe I read some story... It was either the first or second
story involving a ditzy Hume Female who mistreats her Galkan NPC. The name escapes me,
but the Galka spoke of a Mithran Homeland even further south of Kazham. Don't quote me
on this, though.

[Selenity]

oh hey I made a mod earlier on these forums - it was a request by Fallen - there's just a recolor and a recolor with new stripes Mithra hair mod. Pictures are in the zip files if you'd like to include them in the collection.

[Arcaus]

I'm not even gonna attempt dling this ; ; too big for my connection. Nothing I can do tho, my parents control what I get...that is, until I leave and go off on my own ^^;

[DeviFoxx]

Sorry about the delayed reply.

Sure, go for it, Selenity.

Very awesome job I might add! I love it! 1000000000x Thanks to making my gameplay all the better! <33333

[Zelld]

Hey Devi... any idea when the next update will be? :D

[DeviFoxx]

Soon, I suppose.

I generally do my updates in large clumps whenever I can.

I've even made requests for a few weapon ports, which Oni came through with.

But I suppose an update is due soon. I'll get on it shortly.

Double Post Edited:
By the way, I'm still taking submissions. If anyone has anything they'd like to submit to me,
feel free to do so. Thank you.

[Gortash]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to mention that there's a problem with Normal\Hume Female\Hair Ribbon. When you try to put it on, it takes the face in the picture and uses it along with your actual face, causing some rather nasty looking effects. I have fixed it and am attaching it here. -- On second glance, it looks like it was meant to be added in place of your current head. Well, this will give you the option to use it with other heads =P. Anyways, here it is.

[DeviFoxx]

Thanks for the submission, I'll be sure to add that in the next update.

And yeah, you're right. It was a head type, not a face gear. That's how the
original modder made it, I guess.

But you did a good job.

[DeviFoxx]

I set another relatively large update in the .DAT collection today. Be sure to
check it out when you get the chance.

I updated the TXT as well.

Some pieces like the "Tarutaru WHM AF1 Hat With Cat Ears" I actually found and
added to the .DAT collection.

Anyway, enjoy.

Devi Im gonna go ahead and sticky this thread since it directly related to .dat info and is a good source of .dat files in one location.

[DeviFoxx]

/bow

Thank you kindly, Tazirai.

[Froenflame]

anything new for elvaan f? they are sorta bland so far as .dats go, im kinda wishing they got some of the attention hume f got, and also mithra are a little lacking in the variety area too :(

[Sinbreakerblade]

hmmm i may have to go look tho alot of files like before if it a bigger update. But what can you say i think it fun looking tho who files and delete what you dont like. But you know i no hume female i all hume male or mithra ^.^

[Hyrist]

Devi, you know with the actual SIZE of this thing I think it might be good to break this thing into installments.

[DeviFoxx]

I know.

I kinda saw it comming. I'm going to end up splitting it anyway into a 2nd division.

But again, I need .DATs

[tazirai]

Im getting close to finishing a few of the custom .dats im working on.

Summoners will love them ^^ Im making a few for melee classes also since my ALt is melee based.
The "Aztec" set is looking awesome. I need a job at SE^^.

[Selenity]

I'm working on a costume set of Pink red mage armor - I don't really know why - but I'm using both AF and AF2 as a base and beetle leggings to create cute stockings. ^^

[DeviFoxx]

Sounds good. I'm looking forward to it. Keep 'em comming.

[Ammera]

errrrrrrrrrrr just wondering, any interest in adding these to the collection? >.>

http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/9834/2005101622252415ui.jpg

head, body, or pants? >.>

http://www.livejournal.com/users/ammera86/

that shows just about all of my dats if you'd like to include any of them in the collection

[Hyrist]

*Chuckle*

What we really need to to is set out a method of instructions on how ot submit a .dat to the collection.

Personally, I would say take the .dat file, anda snapshot, rename them to discribe what they are, zip it, and email it to Devifoxx. Simple enough. Devifoxx isnt really picky as to what makes the collection.

[Selenity]

I just finished two face rework/colors that are gonna go along with the pink armor set - the base is F1 set with some model adjustments - like lengthen pony tail, new more real colors, and eyes that actually go with the colors, and side whisp/bang adjustments.

So far I've made black and brown - working on a honey blonde color next

[EFigaro]

Any chance you can convert some of these .dat's to Mithra? They look pretty good.

[Nicolette]

mithra have too many .dats as it is. they should be converted to galka ^.-

[Zelld]

Ammera - that balck haired/redstreaked head is awesome. So is the longer hair head on the "valkyrie ranger"

I will pm you with my email address, i was wondering if i could get both head dat's and the valkyrie rng outfit.

[tazirai]

Ammera nice armor sets you got, I love the Pink Far eastern wear gear and it looks great.

[DeviFoxx]

Nice work. Nice work indeed.

And you're right. Generally I'm not too picky.

Hmmm... Submission Instructions, eh?

Well, there's a few ways you could submit your art to me, I suppose.

1: E-mail it to DeviFoxx@Devimension.com and attach it along with a picture and
brief description.

2: Same thing as #1, but give a link instead of attachment.

3: Same thing as #1, but send a PM through the forums or any other media used.

That's about it, I suppose. I almost have enough to create another update.

Double Post Edited:
I guess Galkas now can Rejoice too, because I just found...

Zeid's Helmet.

It looks pretty good, too. And this also makes the Zeid Costume complete.

[DeviFoxx]

Ammera, if you'd like these in the collection, then please e-mail them to me with pictures
for each one. Or something to that effect.

I also say to everyone else if you have any other .DATs that're lingering or lying around,
don't hesitate to submit them.

Thank you.

[Ammera]

Alright, I'll do that soon, I'm just kinda busy with RL stuff right now, but maybe later this week I can get to it! ^_^

[Selenity]

Devi you should be getting a nice Elvaan Female update from me relatively soon - I'm making new color options for the 8 original hair styles (So far for F6 I've made Tawny (brown-orange light color), Chocolate, and a Lavender color. I'm also going to be adjusting the models too, so there will be two sets. One with the original models with whatever colors I think look good - and then a set with my altered models with whatever colors I think look good.

Edit: I just accidently made a color very similar to Ulmia's I think. :eek:

F6 Colors Done: Chocolate, Tawny, Orange, Lavender, Blonde

[Quietstorm777]

stupid question and i am sorry, but to replace the armor, i just select a random set, back it up and change the name of the file to the # , any set? or does it have to be specific set...

[Nicolette]

nope youre right. just has to be right race. (and sex in the case of non tarus or galkas)

[Quietstorm777]

Thank you nicolette, i was wondering also, i gave my lizard armor the look of red n black paladin armor (the dat collection on this thread) but i need a flashy weapon now for my SS.. can i use the human guys Greatswords? (best if used by human) or would that not work out so well?

[DeviFoxx]

That's mostly a Trial & Error thing there.

What I'd do is I'd ask someone like Onimike, Stromgarde, or Kilandor to convert it to
whatever race you want.

Keep up the good work, Selenity.

Maybe you could use the "Bikini" DATs in the collection as sort of a "Base" for the new
stuff for Elvaan Female you're making.

I say that because those ones use the more "Shapely" Elvaan Female body types.

I'm not trying to be... uhhh... "Naughty"... In any way. I say that basically because
to me, Elvaan Women look too much like Elvaan Men. I'd like them to atleast look
REMOTELY more feminine.

[Selenity]

Right now I'm just working with heads -which oddly happen to be my favorite thing to do O.o. Have a couple colors done for Face 6 (my favorite style ^^;) though the eyes need to be recolored to go with the hair colors (Dark eyes with dark colors, light eyes with light colors - since light eyes with dark hair is a genetic mutation >.> and green eyes with red/orange hair ^^;). But the hair themselves look rather nice. I've included the rough/base of the blonde coloration - it needs some color-adjusting (or high/lights low/lights gonna use some of the other blonde colors in game to adjust it with)

Double Post Edited:
Awhile ago Devi you said you were looking for a long orange haired mithra? I made this just a couple of seconds ago.

Is this about it?

[Takemura-san]

lol heh nice stuff fun d/led this on his comp next to me but i cant (damn schools!!) >.> i'm kinda depressed now i cant do anything -.- <--bored to death

[Selenity]

Here's the orange one - though I'm almost tempted to keep it for myself - thinking of giving her green eyes.

[thearidzoner]

so what exactly do you do with the .dat files?

EDIT: NM, I found the other threads heh. Posted before I looked ;-)

PS that aztec set looks nice taz

[DeviFoxx]

Thank you very much, Selenity. You're very kind.

That's a nice piece of armor, Taz. How long have you been working on that?

[tazirai]

Thank you very much, Selenity. You're very kind.

That's a nice piece of armor, Taz. How long have you been working on that?

about 2.5 weeks at 1-3 am haha, Real life has me busy but making custom .dats is insane in time demand.

Ive finished the body gloves and horn and boots so far. Weapon and legs to come later.

[Selenity]

I'm still working out the kinks in the mithra hair style - because of how the original model was made the model looks back when you see the underlying part of the hair - however I think the way to solve it would be to rexture that part to have a hair looking pattern.

[Selenity]

Here's the zip file for the long orange hair + picture - it's as close as i could get to working. The only slight problem has to do with how the model was build and the textures lay on the model - there's a brown spot in the back hidden unless you get a close shot.

[OG Night]

it looks great^^, awesome work, *puts on character*

[Froenflame]

that sounds cool^_^ :thumbsup:

[DeviFoxx]

Waiting for Miss Tazirai and Miss Selenity to finish their projects before I do an actual
update again.

Some include the Chebukki Triplet's body outfits... Zeid's helmet for Galka if I haven't
already added that... And Nanaa Mihgo's Outfit again. This time ported to Hume Female.
We already have Nanaa Mihgo's Outfit for Elvaan Female, Mithra, Tarutaru Male & Female.

Ummmmm... Ideas... I guess.

Has anyone thought of porting the "Mammet" robes to Elvaan & Hume Male? And also the
same goes for Nag'molada's outfit (The Kuluu Semi-Villain you deal with throughout CoP's
storyline).

Also... If anyone has any more .DATs lingering about, feel free to submit them.

It's getting to the point where the .DAT's getting big enough to where I may have to split
it.

By the time I do, however. My PC should be back.

[Quietstorm777]

i think you should get someone to convert mithra RSE to elvaan female ^^; lvl 1 and lvl 30. lol sorry to keep saying that.. >>;

[tazirai]

Hey go ahead and grab my .dat from the topic i made on the main thread list. I didnt get a chance to finish the weapon and pants. When i do i'll upload to a revised zip file

[Hayabusa40]

[Quietstorm777]

Yep this is the place hyabusa ^^ Dl from 1st page.

[Hayabusa40]

coolie thanks Quietstorm ^^

[Sinbreakerblade]

Now here something i seen and i WANT. I been looking everywhere for this .dat file for the hume face. I mean i dont want to take the time to do it so i looking at this and well i going to say /drool. I want this but want to know if anyone made this. And please dont tell me it in that BIG .dat Mod File Collections I downloaded :cry: . Well both ways if need be i will take the time to make that.

[DeviFoxx]

Another .DAT update comming very shortly; another clump.

And yes, Sinbreakerblade, I managed to locate that head. It should be in the next update.

Before I actually update-- Selenity, Tazirai, or anybody else who has anything they wanna
submit, please do so now.

(I got the Aztec Armor from your other post, Tazirai. Not sure if you had the other pieces
you mentioned you didn't add in it or not)

Anyway... So yeah. Drop in what you want now before I update.

[Sinbreakerblade]

Sweet your the man dude your the man

[Symkyn]

I cant get the Tenzen body for Elvaan Male to show. I get an invisible body in the viewer and in game. Why is this? Also happend on the Elda (byrnie looking armor).

[Selenity]

I have a few mods to give you - well two? Just simple recolors of F6 for Elvaan Female.

An orange one with green eyes and a green haired one with green eyes. Both look pretty good to me.

[DeviFoxx]

Thank you kindly, Selenity.

[Selenity]

Here's an elvaan female head I made awhile ago - just a simple blonde recolor.

As soon as VRS works for me though I'll have some better cooler mods out. On my list:

Ulmia's Head for Elvaan Female
Reworked Opaline Gear for Elvaan Female and Hume Female
More New Heads for Elvaan Female
And though it'll take me a while before it's ready I assume - New Hume Male Hairstyles (using elvaan male hairstyles because my bf wants me to)

Edit: I've come to the realization I usually only make head mods... and seemingly only for Elvaan Females

And oh I found a couple other mods I made I want to add - a few hume female head mods.

[Tonkataru]

Nice color. It's lacking a little texture, though.

[Selenity]

It's because of the original head it came from - I used the white as a base to get the right color which lacks texture (due to lighting). My other heads look much better :P (I have about 5 other recolors using the same head type my green and orange one did)

Another Mod: Uses F1 as a base with model changes - Longer Pony tail, smaller side whisp and more uneven bangs! Currently available in Chocolate Brown (Black with pink eyes coming in 2 minutes)

Edit: Here's the black version - with strange pink eyes because I can

[Quietstorm777]

i like the colors selenity, id be proud to wear one of your recolors if you did one for elvaan males... ^^' maybe something un natrual, emerald green or powder blue, or.. maybe just a light brown or dark red.. lol *hint hint* F1 - A ^^

[DeviFoxx]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Good. Good. Keep it up, Selenity. Hopefully when VRS works, I can bring some of my ideas
in here as well.

[Tonkataru]

Those do look very nice. :)

[Rones]

Love those two new ponytail styles. :cool:

[Selenity]

They actually look lovely ingame - I usually test all my heads ingame unless for some reason I can't find anyone who's using that particular model.

I'm actually thinking of making two other recolors of the hume female pony tail - a blonde one and a reddish/orange - you know to cover the real colors

[Rones]

That's my npc's head type, so I see it whenever I want. :thumbsup: Would it be much trouble to make a couple eye color variations of the chocalate colored one (like green or blue)? Definitly using those to replace some of the drabber hume female head types.

[Selenity]

Sure - just like Hair/Eye color combos you want and I'd have no problem I was just trying to go for a bit of realism (like you don't usually see light eyes with dark hair) but heck I'm always up for suggestions - I like making heads! Plus I just finished the orange-red one (it's more orange but it looks lovely with ranger af). She's featuring the typical green eyes of a red head.

I can do some elvaan male ones later too

[Kuro]

if you want to add my fashion sunglassed file here it is the zip contaisn the dat's for Mithra and elvaan female versions

[Tonkataru]

LoL! I LOVE that. That's awesome :)

[Selenity]

Here's another color for the fully ponytail in natural colors set: Blonde with Blue Eyes!
I think the blonde might be a little too bright - if anyone wants to give a recommendation on a different shade of blonde I'm up to it!

Edit: I included a Darker Blonde (golden brown?) version too with Green eyes - right now I'm trying to get a light ashy blonde - like you see in the various normal hume female hairs.

[Selenity]

Had to make a new post to include these lol - here's my model using both of the original textures!

[Kayko]

Someone likes making hairstyles too much :P

[Selenity]

That I do - I have a ton of elvaan female recolors waiting - Thinking about making an edited model for them too. What I'd really like to do is how to figure out the correct way (it'd take texturing and alpha) to make the hair look wavy and curly - or at least braided.

Double Post Edited:
I can only post two mods per a zip and I'm zipping them in singles (incase someone only wants a certain one).

Here's a color that happened while trying to make pale blonde - a suspicious looking pale green color that reminds me vaguely of Terra from FF6

[Tonkataru]

The Taru Blue Trader a.1 is ready for download!

[Kayko]

I think it'd be cool to have the mithra face like you have in your avatar picture. there aren't many face augments for the mithra race :(

[DeviFoxx]

Black hair with Red Eyes?

[Selenity]

Oh Envy? Well that's what I call her - I never thought anyone would actually want her lol. I have a few more changes to make to her - then she'll probably be released

[DeviFoxx]

I guess that was supposed to be named after the Mithran Ark Angel's "Shard of Envy",
eh?

Maybe I should make a mule named "Arrogance".

[Selenity]

lol not even a mule - I don't even know why I named her that - it just looked good when I made it ^^;

[Kayko]

hehe, I like dark looking stuff. That's why i love that new dark version of the modified wedding dress just released ^^. If only i could figure out how to edit .dats, i'd try to make my own stuff.

[Selenity]

Here's the last one for the night! It's a more true/golden blonde hair style with pretty blue-green eyes. once I figure out to make a blonde like the ones that are in game that'll be the next color i do.

[Tonkataru]

I picked my Taru because he had messy red hairs, like me. So I thought I'd make it a little more official and throw in some blue eyes and freckles :)

[DeviFoxx]

Now that I come to think of it, someone could easily make a Chao (From the "Sonic
Adventure" series for Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo Gamecube) costume for Tarutaru using
the "Dewdrop Shaped Head" (First Tarutaru Head) as a "Base".

Just brainstorming here, that's all.

[Kuro]

lol i want to make a floating chao. . . ok screw that i just had a better idea, some PSO mag's would kick ass!

for people who dont know they are weird geneticly engenered thingys that eat spare items and grow depending on what you gave them into loads of differnt designs, some look realy cool ^-^

just make them far behind the character and floating as a headgear or on a face and they will allways be with you :P

could use the same concept to make several pets, hell ueeing VRS we could make ground based pets that move allong with your model! It would take loads of work but I think it can be done with VRS, would probably take a large team of the best people we have here to pull it off though.

[Selenity]

I just found a bunch of mods from Japanese Modders that we currently don't have in the collection - right now I'm going through and seeing what we have and what we don't, then taking a screen shot renaming the .dats and zipping them.

Here's the first one - it's a head and ribbon set that requires specific heads to use. There was a screen shot of it once I think at XOOPs.

Edit: Here's Another one I don't think we have in the collection (I'm supposed to be farming right now lol) be on the look out for a blond one I'll try to make to go with this.

[Selenity]

Here's another one with long ponytails - Next update is gonna have a lot of hume female stuff it seems ^^;

Edit: Here's an Asian-style face that isn't in the collection yet either

[Kuro]

lol do you have a life or do you just spend ALL your free time doing faces ^-^

lol nice work yet again

[Selenity]

Lol these ones arn't mine - but one's I've had on my computer for awhile by japanese artists - but I do have things I have to do - but yeah I spend lots of time making head mods

Double Post Edited:
I wish you could put more attachments in a single file - anyways here's the next batch!

Hume Female Face 2 Type A - Alternative

[Selenity]

Gah even more Panties >< Poor DeviFoxx might have to update sooner than he thought :P

In this batch:

Another pair of hume female panties
Mithra Port of Leather Legs to Hume Female

[Selenity]

I'm Starting to think I'm posting up too much today >< Anyways here's more Hume Female Leggy Goodness!

Included:
Hume Female Raptor Armor Panties
Hume Female Sha'ir Panties

[Selenity]

More Stuff!

Hume Female:
Bone 1Hand Weapon

Sephiroth's Head

[Selenity]

Here's the last few for the night!

Mithra "short" Whm af + Cat eared Hat
NOT WORK SAFE - Black Wedding Dress (not pictured) + Pink Flower (Mithra)
NOT WORK Safe - Hume Female Austre
Hume Female Hoodless Vermillion Cloak + Leggings

[Kayko]

definately not work safe... lol

[Selenity]

lol that's why I labled it not work safe - Was browsing through mods and decided to post the ones we don't have yet - I have a special bst (well any hume female can use it) that just has horns or cat ears to the costume.

[Kayko]

I like the hume mods you posted... makes me wish i played a hume female now so i could use them hehe. I used the silver spikes hair for the mithra, but it looked so fake... i had to take it off because it started to look bad. If anyone wouldn't mind telling me how to import and export .dats with VRS, or a link to where i might learn i'd be most grateful. I played with it for a while but couldn't figure it out.

[Selenity]

I'm still trying to figure out VRS myself - I REALLY want to fix the Elvaan Hume Female Opaline Dress - I want to have it look like the Mithran one. No Puffy Sleeves. ><

[Lakia]

a friend of mine told me about dat modding using a graphics converter and the model viewer (i had no idea the model viewer contained such secrets, lol), and i stumbled upon this page looking for what other's had done with this power. everything i've seen here is pretty awesome, but i wanted to ask about the large dat collection rar file. i downloaded it and opened it with winrar, and my machine is pretty healthy (strong enough to run ffxi uncompressed...), but it likes to freeze everything up and i can't even look at most preview pics much less open some folders without the entire thing taking a dump. is there something i'm missing? does winrar mess it up, is the collection buggy, or would it just be my individual computer? just wondering if anyone else had this problem or knows of anything i could do to stop it from crashing long enough for me to look at what's in it.

thank you!

[Kayko]

winrar works fine for me to open the file. Maybe try downloading it again. your file could be corrupted

[Bootrot]

can anyone provide a link to get VRS?

[Mellowy]

http://www.thealienspy.com/jurai/forum/

I think it was, you'll need to register though.


Oh and after reading some (and saving ^^ ) I want to ask for a mithra version of all those panties :3

[DeviFoxx]

Hahahaha, you're right, Selenity.

I might have to update soon.

Nicolette's probably gonna be upset with you-- On account of you "stealing her thunder".
Nico's been hunting down .DATs alot and is responsible for a considerable portion of the
stuff in the collection.

...

Come to think of it...

Do you think Japanese people know about us and the collection? I mean, like the people on
MMO XOOPS?

[Kuro]

maybe, there are probably a few english speakers there that could find you ^-^

[Selenity]

Lol I have no clue - Where's Nic been anyways?

Double Post Edited:
So I may have a treat for all you hume females out there (and later elvaan females) if this little project turns out right! I'm taking the Mithra Armor from Graphics Mania called Custom Armor #3 and porting it to the other two genders (sorry tarutaru)

Though does anyone know what gloves/feet they were based on? Already found the model that was used for body and legs

[Rones]

Nicolette fried her laptop, so she's out of ffxi for a few months until she gets a replacement.

[Selenity]

oh ; ; Her and Amaund - amauand? whatever her name is spelt.. both fell off the face of the earth ><! Anyways I'm working on a port right now - lol as always I made a head just to use with it - I'm so horrible><

Rones did you ever mention what colors you'd like with the ponytail model of mine? I can do about any recolor you want just gotta ask - include hair and eye colors as well.

[Selenity]

Here's a treat for all you people who love Graphic Mania's Mithra armors but happen to be Hume Female - I've made one of his armors available for hume females!

It includes all the body pieces as well as all 3 heads (Ranger, Black Mage, White Mage).

Look for the head used soon!

[Zelld]

Selenity,can you port this one to Hume and Elvaan? :D I'll be your bestest friend


スパイダー装備

<img>http://tomy951.hp.infoseek.co.jp/images/MSP_S.jpg</img>

[Selenity]

If he didn't customize the model then probably - I havn't figured out VRS enough (read: at all) to port those type of models. Which sucks because I need the mithra RSE ported to Elvaan to make my ported set available for elvaan ><

[Selenity]

Bonus Treat! I'm almost done doing that mage-y armor over to Elvaan Female - though it's taken ALOT of editing (the blm hat had to be remade from scratch)

Double Post Edited:
Well here's Custom Armor #3 for Elvaan Female - Note though the Gloves and Black Mage hat are not completely the same as what was in the original. Due to the way the black mage hat is for elvaan female it had to be redrawn. And as for the gloves- since savage gauntlets (yet) dont exist for elvaan females - a matching pair was created from Elvaan Female RSE. Enjoy!

The Head may or not may become available - for now it's for my person use

Double Post Edited:
Tomorrow I'll be making the heads available that was used in the hume version of this

[katek]

nice works

[Sinbreakerblade]

Wow i been away for soo long, i even got a new computer and time to have me some fun on maken some things but the only thing is i forgot to make a back up coopy of all my work so i going to have to start over again. Then again i wish some one can make hume male hair. XD
Now for Selenity very nice work.

[Kuro]

Well ask the Hair stylest queen for some spisific hair, I think Sel has made enough custom hair styles to be able to make it quite quickly ^-^

[Froenflame]

wow now thats a lot of new stuff
anyone able to make a full head mask for nin af(to actually look like nin af) for mithra?
dont mind if you have ears pokin out, but i think mithra would kinda look like batman >.>

and also, i was wondering if anyone knew specific numbers for the red bikini and austere sets, cuz i cant find them on my model viewer :(

[Gulkeeva]

Here's the last few for the night!

Mithra "short" Whm af + Cat eared Hat
NOT WORK SAFE - Black Wedding Dress (not pictured) + Pink Flower (Mithra)
NOT WORK Safe - Hume Female Austre
Hume Female Hoodless Vermillion Cloak + Leggings

need a selection of mithra panties too..!

[Kuro]

mithra panties shouldent be too hard to do, i just wonder how perferted the makers of the panties were then they made the middle/bottom bit pink, allmost like it was wet . . . .

[Tamashii]

what does it mean by "not work safe"?

[Tokitoki]

They arent appropriate to view at the work place. They could be too "revealing" or have nothing there at all >.>

[aegina]

nvm. removed my post. i found the answer to my question
