DA:O Zevran textures



description





I was unhappy with the existing Zevran mods, because they either go too far from the original, or make him white.


This mod doesn't include a headmorph file (thanks, EA!) and I can't be bothered to dig through the internet to get the files, so it's based off Unique Face Textures for Companions by Ellise. Thanks to Ellise, all companions also have nice teeth models and unique eyes. Ellise's headmorph for Zevran is identical to his original apperance and only changes the textures.


I made new facial textures for Zevran, keeping the eyebrows, ears and the teeth textures from Ellise, so the headmorph is a dependency. See the comparison image.



Features





  • Zevran isn't white, and most textures don't reflect that. Yes, I said *textures*. His skin color is the same as vanilla.​
  • Armor isn't included.
  • Makes him look more like his concept art self.
  • Also makes him look his age (26-ish), but he's really tired.
  • Eyelashes.
  • READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BELOW THE DOWNLOAD SECTION!

Permissions & use: Credit Ellise and only then me. The only new thing I did is just the face texture itself.

Installation (8 steps):

Ну или просто используйте переводчик.



1. Download and install Ellise's mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/4666/


2. Download this mod's (Zevran face textures) archive,


3. Extract it using any program (7zip, WinRAR, etc.),


4. Open this mod's (Zevran face textures) archive,


5. Copy (Ctrl + C) the *folder* named "Zevran textures (Ellise and khisartin)" and paste (Ctrl + V) it into


*\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override\


6. In Unique Face Textures for Companions (el_companiontexturesDAO), you should locate those files:


*\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override\el_companiontexturesDAO\el_textures\*the files are here*


pn_eye_elZevran_0d.dds

uh_hed_elZevran_0d.dds

uh_hed_elZevran_0n.dds

uh_hed_makazevran_0t.dds

uh_hed_stbzev_0n.dds


7. Either delete those files or move them to another location, should you want to revert the changes.


For example, create an extra folder in *Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core and call it "backup", so you'll have:


*Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\backup

put Ellise's original files here


*Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override

this is where all of your DA:O mods are located


*\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override\Zevran textures (Ellise and khisartin)

this the new textures, an easy to remove single folder


That's just an example. You may just delete the abovementioned files, without backups.


8. Done!





How to uninstall:


1. Delete the "Zevran textures (Ellise and khisartin)" folder from *\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override\


2. If you removed\relocated the original files, don't forget to bring them back.
