I must be mentally disabled. [message #47437]

I know that I have seen some reference to a mod of BlueTooth's Thunder Armor without shoulder pads. I cannot find it. I have tried searches, checked all logical locations in the thread listings, and have even looked on the wiki, to see if there was anything related to it there. Does anyone know where I could find this mod?

No, what I fear most is living forever.

That's the suit you're referring to, just without the shoulder pads, correct?

I can't find anything on it either, and I don't recall any thread with mention of it, but it wouldn't be terribly hard to just re-tex it (you may have to mess with clipping prevention)

Yes, that is the suit, but there is a version of that without shoulder pads, and a version of the platinum suit without shoulder pads along with it. I cannot seem to find them, hard as I try.

You might have, I made one.
I looked for the thread but couldn't find it. Confused

It wouldn't be terribly hard to remake though, all I did was remove the shoulder frame from the mesh in a text editor, I'm sure Keshire did the same to achieve his shoulderless plate armor.

So, what exactly would that entail?
If it is as easy as you make it sound, I'll just do it myself, but I am not quite sure of the process.

just take the texture in photoshop and select the "pad" part of the texture via the selection tools and delete it and then save the new "pads" texture and load it in FE or Cbox making sure to load it as a dxt3 and make sure you set alpha to one

THEN go to the mesh of the armor and set the alpha of the pads section or whatever to 1

then after all this is done your pads should be invisible

That's not the way I'd do it, and I recommend against it.

morerunes did an informative post that describes for the most part what a frame was. The shoulder pieces have their own frame (called shoulder). Removing the entire frame from the model, reimporting back into FE (all LODs), then assigning the chest piece texture is the proper way to make this edit.

After exporting the model, open it in notepad and find the following:

Frame shoulder-pad {
 FrameTransformMatrix {
 }
 Mesh {
  MeshNormals {
  }
  MeshTextureCoords {
  }
  MeshMaterialList {
   Material {
    TextureFilename {
    }
   }
  }
  XSkinMeshHeader {
  }
  SkinWeights {
  }
 }
}

And get rid of it. Note that it won't look anything like mine, it's going to have a whole bunch of numbers between the brackets, and anywhere from two to three SkinWeights pieces. Be careful to not get rid of anything else, just the shoulder frame.

Again, I'm certain that this is how Keshire did it with his.
