The .dds file for Aribeth's 'normal' appearance was exported as a TGA using NWExplorer. This modified TGA will add a chain mesh to Aribeth's exposed, upper torso. Yes, I am bucking the trend and I am *adding* clothing/armor to a NWN model. 8) I also gave her an overall 'warmer' look. The tga file is 512x512 and is just over 1MB when unzipped. If you place it in the override folder and use high quality textures, then this file will provide Aribeth with a new look. I will be able to update this zip with differing looks when/if necessary.
Added another texture file option to modify certain colors
I really, really like this, Poecile. Aribeth with functional armor - what a concept! Now, if we could just figure out how to get a helmet on her... ;)

Ok, if you click the thumbnail up above now, the green-eyed texture is shown in the lower left and upper right. If anyone would like a color variation (green, blue, brown...) I can always upload textures named c_aribeth_green, c_aribeth_blue and you could rename the one you'd use to c_aribeth. That would doulble or triple the size of the 450KB zip file though... The alternative is to use a photo editor to edit the tga to suit your taste.

I have a green-eyed tga available. I added it to the jpg when you click the thumbnail above, but it hasn't shown up yet. It is pretty easy to change the eye-color if you have a .tga editor.

fkirenicus, I was trying for a hazel or coppery color, but it could be called red. My intent is to make the iris color more noticeable when viewing the model from an average distance. The screenshot is an atypical viewing distance. I don't know what color her eyes should be, perhaps more toward a hazel-brown than a hazel-red?

Apart from the red eyes, this is very good... :)

Thanks Executor Aldaris & darth_burger... "Now she doesn't ahve to worry about fighting in the snow" LOL, I never thought of that before... And I know what it feels like to have one odd snowflake land perfectly down the back of one's collar, brrr! If you're a mage, just cast an ice storm and she'd be a squirming paladicicle.

I'm proud of you P! She's great dude and you're making her better. Now she doesn't have to worry about fighting in the snow.

i was just about to scream: 'PLEASE! no more aribeth remakes!' but you done a good job here :) its about time people started dressing her rather than the opposite.

Well done. About time Aribeth looked a little more like a real paladin and less like a street hussy. Any one that went orc hunting would of worn armor closer to what you made, anyway. The additional armor does look better and I LIKE it.

crusaderky, I don't have the PLT from the CEP version, or the version in your hak. You can stick this in your hak, but it only changes the appearance of "NWN, Aribeth1"
