How do you think we could mod Other things besides the UI?

I've always wondered why knowone can figure out how to mod textures in this game? or if so, why isnt it a big deal, I think something like this could save the game, to be honest.

Would love to see if anyone has any opinions, ect.

Things that really need improved in some cases: New Armor's lack the Shine and Damage Older armor's seem to have, most new armors look exactly the same as well... plus character skins could use an enhancement.

Is there anyone else curious to see if theres anything that can be done? and cannot effect gameplay. ((totally Clientside))

I know some slot of folks either love or hate SOGA with a passion. Modding textures could actually be very cool. Doubt it will happen though.

Well, SOGA Model's Faces are amazing, but the textures look FAKE... like cartoonish, would love to redo some of them myself...

I had to pause for a moment and chuckle at the irony in that statement.

Thanks

A quick google found Blaz's Everquest II Tools and Resources which has a tool for opening and extracting the vpk files in the Everquest II/paks directory. That's where all the model info etc is stored, so you'd have to somehow find the right file and modify it to one you'd made.

That's as far as I can be bothered to find out, cause it's probably against the EULA and I cba with all that!

You can extract files, but i doubt you`ll be able to modify something.

I can't get the program to unpack anything.. damnit.. even got .net passport 2, I wanna see what .dds files are inside so I can start Photoshopping!

If you do manage to get it unpacking there's some .dds files in assetslib.vpl\cooked\characters. Haven't checked them yet cause Photoshop's not installed, might get round to it though.

And yeah I know I said I wasn't gonna bother but I got bored :P

If you can retexture EQ2 and not make it look like shit, you're probably already gainfully employed on another game without free time. OP is in over his head.
