Version 1.0
Initial Release
Elegant Io
by Mattatatta
What's New:
Completely remade the mod internally to fix issues. The game shouldn't crash when changing between Io's outfit slots at mistle now.
Fixed the Ivy tails on Io's Veil to properly vanish during Drain Attacks.
All-new texture-swapping method introduced: Use any of Elegant Io's colour schemes (Classic, Autumn, Winter, Yami) on any outfit slot through the use of extremely lightweight patches.
Choose the style of the Dress separately from the style of the Veil. Mix and match to your desire! Compatible with all V3 files!
Updated optional "Veils Only" pack to support the new texture swapping method.
"Dress Only" pack added. This special pack has been made for use without a Veil or with a hoodless Veil. Check the ReadMe for more information.
"Hoodless Veil" added. This special pack is similar in function to the "Veils Only" version of my Hoodless Io Collection, and has the same important considerations to be made. If you download it, please read its manual for more information.
Happy One-Year Anniversary!
Give Io an exquisite dress and matching blood veil, and replace her tattered wardrobe! Created from scratch, this outfit is based upon fanart created by an unknown artist.
Version 3 introduces needed bugfixes and an all-new suite of optional plugins to tailor Io's wardrobe to your liking.
Switch out her entire outfit or only her veil, hood or no hood, change the colours, or combine with other mods for a different look!
Key Features:
An all-new outfit and matching blood veil with detailed, hand-painted textures.
Modular implementation prevents the mod from interfering with the textures for the Attendants, and allows the installation of different Io mods into different outfit slots, and also enables the end-user to customize Io's appearance through incredibly lightweight patch files.
Facial animations, red eyes, and glowing eyes are all working as they are in vanilla. The Veil's Drain Attack has the Ivy tails work correctly.
Known Issues:
The dress sometimes gets distorted or tangled up in Io's legs. The cloth physics were a nightmare, and I wish I could have done better. You can 'reset' Io's dress by touching mistle, or simply having her run around with you. It'll eventually go back to normal.
Due to how the developers appear to have built most of the scenes involving Io (ex: Io's Determination) there are occasions where the game glitches Io's original vanilla texture onto her instead of using the correct textures. Fixing this would mean breaking all of the Attendants, so I've left it as-is.
Compatibility notes:
This mod is designed to only change Io's clothing and skin textures per outfit, and is constructed to not unintentionally break textures for other costumes. Other Io mods that change vanilla textures such as eyes, hair, and face will likely have an effect on this mod.
This mod replaces Io's body model and her veil model by default. If you want Elegant Io to go hoodless, there is a "Dress Only Pack" option available for download, but please read its ReadMe and understand its intended use and limitations.
With that said, if you happen to notice hair clipping through the sides and back of the hood, you probably have renpyon's "A Nukification Mod" installed, which disables the hair toggle for worn veils while also removing all veils. Restoring a veil with a mod like Elegant Io will not revert the toggle, and so it results in clipping.
Installation:
Download the V3 Core file from the Main File section. This file is required no matter which outfit is replaced, or what plugins you download for Version 3.
From the Optional Files section, download the plugins for outfits you want to replace. Additional plugins and options can be found under Misc Files.
Navigate to where your copy of Code Vein is installed, and go to: "...\CodeVein\Content\Paks\~mods" If the "~mods" folder does not exist, create it yourself.
Place the .pak files inside the ~mods folder. Do not rename the files, they are named in such a way to load in the correct order and may cause a crash if tampered with.
Install done!
To uninstall the mod, delete the .pak file(s).
