Edit the Lorica feminine costume

Well... First of all I am a little sad because I love the Valor costume, but I can't glamour so I have to use the Lorica costume... It's kinda cool, a little dark, but kinda cool, but I wanted to ask if, at least, SE could make a "feminine chest" because my character is a female and I don't like the fact of having a male chest in her. The abdominal muscles are fine, it is cool, but the chest... Couldn't you make boobies? >< Every costume as a male and a female look, so... Please?

It's a re-colour of the Acheron (whatever the fricking name is now of the CT boss) Armor that drops in Syrcus. Just the shoulders are diffirent. Same abs and everything. There's nothing really they can do about it. Partially re-used for the green DPS armor as well from ST.

I can see where you're goin with this, but this would make SE actually have to create armor from scratch instead of just recolor something that they already made and copy/paste it into three other suits of armor. It's not likely they will want to put in the work (or they would have done so already).

Well thank you for the information. I am a little sad... I wish they could actually modify it... And the CT costume... Is the one with 110 ilvl and white?

I know, but it's the same model as the CT boss and the armor he drops. The boss was in place well before the i100/110 armor was implemented, and they most likely just pilfered part of his body to re-use as armor. There's a lot of blatant re-skinning going on in this game though.


Just in CT alone, the Bard set and the dragoon set are exactly the same, if not diffirent in color. The monk and bard i100 sets are the same too, diffirent in color.

I imagine actually making new armor from scratch, or designing a female variant of it, takes an incredible amount of time and work. Hence they're much more eager to see what they can get away with re-using older pieces of gear. Heck, from 1 to 50, mages and dragoons switch between two similar models of crafted weapons (with one or two exceptions from dungeons), some are a diffirent color or shade, most are not. Heavy Darksteel and the new i90 craftables are the same, just segmented and not including a fixed helmet. It's also safe to say that 80% of all the robes in this game are using the same model.

Infact, i'm sure most armor in this game has the same base-model that's being expanded on. With diffirent shoulders if possible/can be bothered and possibly a diffirent shade or skin.

I used to do a lot of .dat mods in the past for games, the effort it takes to re-skin something is <5 minutes. A simple change of shade is but a slider. A re-color nothing but picking a replacement color. And even proper re-skinning is just making an existing picture fit to the model.

But creating a new model entirely takes up a day or two of work if you want to do it properly. Especially so when you dont have an existing model you can pull and stretch the wireframe on, or add things in. Add even more time if you want to make and design a new skin for it instead of pasting an old one on it.

did this thread just lose alot of posts?
