Hi! First off just want to say THANK YOU for putting all this effort into making this mod, it looks fantastic. Secondly, after installing im having a bit of an issue with reskin. It seems to look perfect when the camera is up close to Erik but, say in a battle, when the camera is far out, the "Wild Side" erik skin and the normal erik skin both show, sometimes even reverting all the way back to the original green and pink regular erik skin. Not sure why its happening but maybe you can point me in the right direction.
I'm sorry for the very late reply. I'm glad you like my mod. For sure, it's probably one of my favorites.
The glitch you are experiencing can be remedied using the following method: - Navigate through Special K - Look under the 'Direct3D 11 Settings' tab. - You should find a red button labeled 'Render Mod Tools'. Click on it and a new window will appear. - The 'Reload All Injected Textures' is another red button that you should find inside that new window, under the 'Live Texture View' tab." - Hit 'Reload All Injected Textures', and the glitch should remedy itself.
Hi, I'm having the same issue. Tried the 'Reload All Injected Textures' trick, it fixes cutscene and overworld Erik. However, its just bland green Erik during battles.
Yup, that's exactly it. Looks so beatiful. Will you upload it at some point?
Btw, if you could recolour the red thing on the lower part to make it blue like the cape it would be super awesome, but it's just a small detail, is not necessary.
Just waiting on the day someone finds a way to put Hendrik in Jasper's armor lol. I am not a fan of Hendrik's. I feel that would be very time intensive though.... (This is coming from someone who does not know the first thing about making mods, haha. Forgive me if it's actually simple and my remark is insulting in any way.)
Hendrik in Jasper's armor... Wouldn't that mostly just require a swap from black to white? I know Hendrik is bulkier, but you can't do anything with that with textures.
Looking at concept art, they are indeed the exact same thing lol. I suppose it's as your said with their difference in build. The chest area on Hendrik in game just looks odd because of where the middle of the chest indents. I would most certainly appreciate a silver recolor if possible. I thank you in advance for even reading these messages lol. Perhaps in the future, many other mods will be possible other than retextures and recolors.
O_O! Amazing. I bet I won't be the only person who uses that one lol. The other mods on there are amazing as well. Kudos to you. While I have ya, could I ask you a troubleshooting question: At times, when I load into the game to play, I notice that the original game texture and modded textures seem to clip with one another, almost as if they are fighting for priority. Is this simply something that happens or could I have a fixable error on my end?
This isn't a problem with the texture mods. At least, I don't think so. This is an issue with Special K.
When it happens, navigating through SK's menu to the "Reload Injected Textures" button and clicking it is the key to fixing it.
To find that button inside Special K: Look under the 'Direct3D 11 Settings' tab, you should find a red button labeled 'Render Mod Tools'. Click on it and a new window will appear. The 'Reload All Injected Textures' is another red button that you should find inside that new window, under the 'Live Texture View' tab.
I absolutely love this mod. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all. I think a matching outfit for the Hero's default in this color palette would be awesome. That's more an idea than a request though.
You probably don't take request, just a suggestion, but you're mods are very good, I use ever single one. The twins detailed outfits are a must-have for me, but I also like uni-formality. Ever consider making a mod that gives the whole party the same color scheme? Would definitely rise quickly in endorsements.
I absolutely take requests! Give me a color scheme, and exactly what outfits are your favorites to wear. You'll have your own DragonKaede special.
Just let me know what you'd like me to do and I'll see what I can whip up. Depending on how detailed you'd like you're request, I can send you regular WIP images.
Edit: And I'm headed off to work pretty soon, so if I don't reply immediately, I'm not ignoring you. Just doing boring irl stuff. I'll be back in a few hours!
Edit2: So I haven't heard back from you, and that's alright. I figured I'd whip something up and ask what you think. This isn't my best work, as it was done very quickly... I was wondering if this is what you meant when you said cohesive. Like, characters looking like other characters. https://imgur.com/a/EtbpXef Or did you mean something to match my Sacred mods? As in, something 'original'. A unique design for each one that still matches all the others? This will take a while, if that's what you meant.
Do you really take requests? As in, do you also plan to work on other characters? If so, could you kindly redesign jade's default outfit? Perhaps you can make her look like a Chinese martial artist, with a combination of red, gold, and black? Her default outfit is boring. I like all of your work including Serena and Veronica. Great work!
Karuri, I'd absolutely love to, but someone else has already beaten me to the punch: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonquestxi/mods/8 See her Obsidian Xenlon outfit? I can totally take these details and apply them to her default, but I would have to ask the mod creator's permission first.
My next mod plan was to make her default match her MMA mask: https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2593/images/32/32-1539461352-1066248038.jpeg
Do either of these seem like things you would be interested in, Karuri?
VitaeHeimus. Yes, when I said red, black, and gold, I was actually referencing to that mod eheheh. I love and already downloaded that one, but too bad we get Xenlon armor later on in the game. Jade default outfit that matches her MMA mask, a combination of dark green and purple then? (looking at your screenshot you posted). Don't you think we have already have more green (veronika polkadot, serena, erik, and jade default) and purple (hero default) already? I am looking forward to bring more colors to the party, but I think your idea works well to. Perhaps you can play with patterns and motifs to spice up Jade's default outfit, but I am sure you are good with it considering your creativity in your serena and veronika mod. I will be looking forward to see your jade design then! Great work and keep up the good job!
Also, a question. What program do you use to edit texture? I have Paint(dot)net, but it does not seem to support the dds file for Dragon Quest 11. Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind, I got it working with Paint(dot)net
I actually sent you a rather lengthy personal message. I'm not sure if you got it or how it works on nexus. Check your inbox? If nothing is there I can copy-paste the message here for you.
Karuri: Ah, it's more that I want to evoke the shape of her mask in her outfit to add interest to what is otherwise a rather... featureless design. It can be any number of colors; it's just a matter of adding recolors later. So if you're interested in a black-red-gold butterfly-inspired default, I can work towards that while making my own mod. If you specifically want Chinese influences, it may take a short amount of time with research and such. So I'd have to apologize for the delay, but it would still get done. Edit: I use Photoshop, but like several other programs, it requires a 3rd-party plug-in to function properly.
VitaeHeimus. Featureless indeed! I think "Black-red-gold butterfly-inspired" (or dragon-inspired?) design is perfect as I have seen several chinese dresses with butterfly designs. I ve been using red default outfit mod for jade (and she's using claws), and she already looks like a oriental martial artist and I like it! I am definitely looking forward to your mod. Oh my, I am excited to know that you actually understood. Should I pause my game while i wait until you finish your mod? hoho. But please, take your time. I hope I wasn't being too demanding. Keep up the good work and i am cheering for whatever your next work will be! Modding is about having fun after all!
VitaeHeimus. Yayayayay thank you, I love you so much. Looking forward to your next mod. Also, if you don't mind, will also be uploading your "first requested mod set"? Sounds like something interesting
Yes. If DragonKaede gives me permission to, I will upload the full-party uniform mod. The request was to have a blue, white, and gold party with mild leather and black accents. See my progress here: https://imgur.com/a/nFPmBtH
This is currently the base design stage. Done enough to see what things look like in-game, but lacking crucial details. It also has a sneak-peek of my plan for her butterfly default, but I'd like to replace the flowers with something more like this: https://www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/chinese-traditional-floral-pattern-vector-945842
Okay. Karuri, I was asked for a purple version of my DragonKaede mod, and have just now released it. It's not exactly what I had in mind when I decided to make a butterfly mod, but black34 seems to have beaten me to the punch.
Here is a purple Jade found in the "Optional Files" section. https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonquestxi/mods/38 Her file here is listed "2A9522F6.dds"
This might possibly be my favorite mod on the Nexus so far. It's not easy to retexture Erik and add fancy features to his outfit without denaturing his unlawful/wandering persona, but you've managed to achieve that remarkably well. I absolutely love the 'sophisticated rogue' look that you delivered here, Erik's default outfit was so rudimentary that it essentially made him look like a second-rate thief. This is the good-ole adventurous Erik that everybody loves with a hefty dose of additional charm and status, which is definitely awesome. Plus, it just so happens that the color scheme that you used is right down my alley.
Congrats on this mod and thanks for providing what Erik should have been all along!
I'm glad you like it so much. I had a hell of a time with the fur on his hood, so it's been really nice to hear that people took to this texture a lot. As someone who really admires your work and how sleek nearly all of your retextures are, I sort of feel like I'm glowing. Thank you so much, and I'm looking forward to seeing any mods you plan on making in the future.
Let me know if you'd like me to change anything, or upload the .psd files for you to make changes yourself.
Hmm nope, sorry for the rather boring reply but your mod is absolutely perfect for me as it is, haha. Love the black shirt, love the fur parts, love the red-wine accessories, love the elegant trims. Honestly, I'm glad I didn't invest much of my time into a recolor for Erik because I'd probably have ditched it by now and used your own instead. The majority of Erik's other costumes have a very tropical feel to them, your relatively-cozy outfit is a very nice contrast with the rest of his wardrobe and one that I'll definitely be using in my game for a very long time.
Thank you so much. That's crazy cool to think you like it that much.
I mean, as soon as it hit me (several hours in to the game) that he had stolen the Red Orb, I was like, "boy, why do you look like you just came home from the gym?" And so I wanted something refined while still maintaining the whole 'thief' look. Something that looks at least a little bit like the way Derk might've dressed.
I mean, their riches had to go somewhere. Maybe towards a decent jacket?
Wow this is cool, u r amazing dude. Now if only we can do something about the lower part of the hero gallopolis garb. I really like the design but the lower part makes it look like the hero wearing a towel. Any way to make it transparent/invisible?
You mean his robe? I don't know if it's possible to make things transparent with SK. Everything I've tried tends to turn out black rather than see-through.
For different looks of the Gallopolis Garb, try this mod by KomodoMods: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonquestxi/mods/14
Thank you so much. I was really nervous about how the fur would look all flat against his body (y'know, as this is a texture mod, not a model mod), but I think it turned out pretty well.
Let me know if there's anything you'd like changed, or any issues you come across.

The glitch you are experiencing can be remedied using the following method:
- Navigate through Special K
- Look under the 'Direct3D 11 Settings' tab.

- The 'Reload All Injected Textures' is another red button that you should find inside that new window, under the 'Live Texture View' tab."

Hope that helps.
Any other tips?

Btw, I see you take request, have you ever thought of making a recolour of the Irwin Set/ Drasilian Set to make it gold, Saint Seiya style?
I've got a couple requests in the works, but what you're generally asking is for this, right?
https://imgur.com/a/OvTb5ed
Yup, that's exactly it. Looks so beatiful. Will you upload it at some point?
Btw, if you could recolour the red thing on the lower part to make it blue like the cape it would be super awesome, but it's just a small detail, is not necessary.
I can make that for you, but I have like 3 other requests I have to get to first.
You don't mind waiting, right? I can release it in a modpack alongside another armor piece I'm doing if you'd like.

Also, your name made me giggle. Nice job ;3
Edit: Did you just want a recolor or for me to add fur and stuff? A recolor, I can whip up fairly quickly.
Just let me know what you'd like me to do and I'll see what I can whip up. Depending on how detailed you'd like you're request, I can send you regular WIP images.
