[Modification] Diego's Old Characteristics

Diego's Old Characteristics

Since Diego, has changed his look a lot, while travelling from Khorinis to the main land, and now he looks ten years older than he was in Gothic II, this mod changes some of his facial characteristics.

First I want you to know that this is my first mod, for any kind of game and the first time I use Photoshop. So I'm a totall novice, in both of these. Special thanks to Lazor, for spending time to create his site, without wich I would have never started modding. Some time ago I asked Lazor for creating this mod, if he allready started to work on it and I'm canceling his work, than sorry Lazor; if not that no harm done I guess

.

==============
Diego's Old Characteristics v1.0 changes:

1) His hair is not that black anymore, but a more natural black.
2) Removed some of his puckers.
3) His forehead looks sort of bigger now.
4) Fixed the mistake of confusing Diego with Lares.
5) His skin tone is a bit lighter now.
==============

BEFORE/AFTER/FORMER DIEGO

DOWNLOAD (An archive that contains the mod, as well as a document; for more detailed information read that document.)
IMPORTANT: GothicStarter is needed in order to play the game.

Well, nice look. It gives a small feeling of the old Diego indeed.

Would be nice to make that tweak compatible to the g3starter.

What's so hard? Just make sure you follow these file layout rules. Anyway, i'll make a special tool for this and an installer template after i finish with my final exam and release v1.0 of the starter.

For developers
The structure of files for a modification has to be like this :
Bold = folder
italic = file
*Modification name* = The name of the main folder for the modification will be the name that will appear in the Starter.
*raw n.pak* = raw pak files belonging to the mod. If you use another extension the starter will still use the file but it will generate a warning in it's log.
Description.rtf = Rich Text File for the description that will appear in the starter
general.ini = Configuration file. At the moment it only has 3 valid settings in it (author - the team or person who made the modification, link_text - the text for the link that appears in the starter, link_url - URL address of the link that appears in the starter)
Thumb.jpg - Image that appears in the starter. Recomended width-height : 200x150 px, jpg format.

*Modification name*
- Files
  - *raw 1.pak*
  - *raw 2.pak*
  - *raw n.pak*
- Description.rtf
- general.ini
- Thumb.jpg

Nice work and thanks for the "credits"

. Now Diego looks really nice like i've met him in G1. Of course you don't have to apologise cuz i wouldn't create it anyway. Keep up the good work and i think that from now on we have to post those threads in "Gothic Discussion" and not in "Creative Corner" because not so many users check this subforum

Calin · 12.02.2007, 19:54

Actually the "before" Diego looks better than the g1/g2 one IMO. The one you made was "after", right?

Actually no. They will be posted in here till a mod-kit will be released. After that ... well, you will see

u can see the "bright" side of everything can't u?-

Diego, the concept art on the right is NOT Diego, NOT by a long shot. That's Sly I think, but definitely not Diego.

Regardless, it's a good mod, but you should work on the hair - it's currently entirely black while real-life hair is never completely black.

Negative · 13.02.2007, 05:28

Thats the original Lares. Sly was a bald, pale guy (rub my head for good luck

)

-I won't edit this mod, cuz it took too much 4 me to do this little thing, that still isn't too good-becise, i don't know too much 'bout photoshop
-now i'll just learn how to make this g3starter compatible, and than close the whole project

EDIT ok the g3starter version is done, but tell me the path on wich it should be extracted so that it would work

Indeed that is Lares 100 %

Anyway, I'm glad more ppl are starting doing mods for G3. That means that in 1 year or 2 the Modding teams will have really good guys

hm k than can u post a screen shot of diego, and if the diffrence it too big, than i'll reopen the project.

edit wait a sec-if that's lares, than Y is he wearing a shadows armor

Sword guy · 13.02.2007, 16:39

Good job,dude,with the Classic Diego mod! I hope there will be other mods trying to re-create the G1 and G2 atmosphere.

Yeah,the guy is Lares,look at the scar.But the shadow's armour he's wearing still confuses us.

I'm not a modder but can somebody tell how hard is it to change the Hero's hair in a ponytail,as in G1 and G2?really bad that he had a haircut on the ship...

it can't be done yet since a poy tail is a model modification and not a texture modification-when PB will release advanced modding tools
(wich most likely if after the addon appears)it'll B possible

never mind about the image-i found one and now i have to reopen the project shit
see first post

Well, that's an artwork made by PB just for testing or something... Maybe when they made it, the story wasn't finished or something like that. But you cannot say it's Diego just because it has the shadow armor ... there IS a big difference between Diego and Lares

And, about the mod, IMHO if you make Diego's forehead larger it'll look more like in previous games ...
