Need some help here.

Ok, what I want to do is tinker with some of the model textures (I'll move on to the models themselves later.)

Using the model Viewer I convert the dats to MQO file, which gives me a Bitmap and an mqo. I did what I wanted to the bmp via photoshop. I can open the mqo in Metasequoia-freeware just fine, with the alterations I used so I know it's working up to that point.

Now my trouble: I cant get the viewer to recombine them into a .dat, or if they are I am not sure where they are going. Its got the option under file, and it says its successful, but theres no .dat, and I cant find out how to open it in the viewer. I know it wont apply in game till I actually replace the file in the ROM folder, but I need to get it proper format first.

Help ; ;!
 
This definately sounds interesting, however sadly I suppose it's not really worth it if your the only one who will see the difference.
 
I'd talk to Devifoxx, he's got the mad tinkering skills

FFXI = entirely subjective world. What you see is what matters isnt it? Unless youre just going around wearing stuff to impress ppl with how much its worth I guess. In that case though you can still have expensive gear, and also like how it looks on you. And you can even change how it looks when you get tired of the old look. Win-Win.
 
Well ya, I don't wear armor to show how rich in-game I am (cause I'm not), but yes I do get some joy showing off my gear & like to see myself as others do.
 
I'd hafto say go with Sab's recommendation. (Though I dunno if Devi'll answer, refused to talk to me when I had a similar question about .DAT editting ><)

Hey after 2 years Mistaya finally has a new headband. I think I'll update it to match her current outfits instead of the stupid brownish thing it was originally. This is cut out of the seers tunic since i'm in the seers tunic for a few more levels ><; I think it looks really nice! I also chopped off the top part of the seer boots so they dont look so fricking horrid with my RSE loincloth :P

MAJOR thanks orchid I've scoured the internet for that program for months and never found it.
