Someone suggested this as an idea to me, and I took on the challenge with more tenacity than I thought I would. This is by far the most extensive mod I've done, which you wouldn't think it given how simple the premise is. It took a lot of attempts and easily over a dozen hours, but it's finally done.
As the title suggests, this mod replaces the right leg of the Veteran's Greaves (from the Veteran's Armor Set) with Commander Niall's prosthetic one. Not the weapon that you get for defeating him, but his actual leg. This does not replace our character's leg in all scenarios; it's only when wearing the Veteran's Greaves.
Secondly, I was happy to see the mod Veteran's Greaves Modified which removes the duck feet from the Veteran's Set. The creator, ScaledFeather, was kind enough to let me implement their mod into mine. Go and download their mod if you want the duck feet removed from the vanilla set.
Ray Tracing must be turned off! Using any mods that edit models like this one, with Ray Tracing on, will crash the game! There is no fix for this as what would have to change is out of my control: either Ray Tracing itself or the very tools we modders use for FromSoftware titles have to change.
While I've done model edits before, this one introduced a whole slew of concepts that made it an entirely new experience for me. I have not seen or caught any bugs/glitches in the final product nor am I able to test in every environment, so please be gentle if you spot anything. I wasn't able to make our character walk like Niall or limp, as it's a million times easier to use the bones from the leg armor. As such, it'll still behave like a normal leg by bending or seeming to have a tiny footstep. It's entirely a visual change and won't affect gameplay.
I use REVENANT ReShade, specifically the Lush version with a couple tweaks of my own. This is reflected in the screenshots I took for this mod, so keep in mind that it may look differently for you if you do not use a ReShade!
I also use Texture Improvement, specifically the 4K textures. This is, again, reflected in the screenshots and so your game/recolors may look different than mine!
DO NOT attempt to play the game online while using any mods or you will be banned! Download Anti-cheat toggler and offline launcher to circumvent EAC, or if you use Mod Engine 2 then that program will automatically disable it.
There is a way to make the model show up on co-op partners, NPCs and the Mimic Tear. Within the parts folder there is a file called a DCX File. All you need to do is make a copy and add "_l" directly before the period in the DCX file name. That's an underscore and lowercase L. So, you'd change lg_m_1660.partsbnd into lg_m_1660_l.partsbnd. Continuing the example: if you started with 1 DCX file, you'll end with 2. This way the mod shows up on you and your co-op partner/NPC/Mimic Tear.
UXM
Mod Engine 2 [RECOMMENDED]
Simply delete the DCX file in the parts folder, or the entire parts folder if this is the only mod you have installed that uses it. Make sure that the game is not running when you do this, otherwise the armor will be invisible.
