Armor Pyjamas Pajamas

Permissions and credits


I  RECOMMENDED THAT YOU USE Svarty's Configurable Armour II INSTEAD OF THIS, if possible - it is a more recent and better-written mod. 

  • Switch the appearances of upto 10 armours. 200 options!
  • Now includes ALL multiplayer armours, Swimsuit and Dress! 
  • Compatible with Armour Restrictions Removal Mods.
  • Compatible with all retexture mods.

Some appearances might not be available without relevant DLC

This mod is self-compatible. COPY THE MOD MULTIPLE TIMES INTO YOUR MODS FOLDER TO CHANGE MORE THAN 10 ARMOURS! 
(copy mod with different names, it doesn't matter what, as long as they end with .daimod) - If you do this, remember, In the load order,  not to overwrite choices you made in one copy of this mod with choices you've made with a second copy of the mod.

You will also find EqT VOP (Vanilla One-Piece) in the files section. It, too, is self-compatible. This will allow you to remove clipping hair, class/race restrictions from one armour. Again, you can copy it for each armour you are changing (if required) and you can change it's default settings in a similar way to the main mod.

For Pyjamas/Pajamas/Skyhold default casual-wear change "Unequipped".


See below for how to change defaults.


swiper has now uploaded the multiplayer armour changes that allow you to use the ZITHER costume without lute as seen in the title image. You can find that here and it is fully compatible with this mod. https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonageinquisition/mods/2121

Download ModManager 
At the time of writing, Frosty doesn't support daimods. Note: Many people are reporting problems with the "DAI Tools Suite Loader", so use the direct link from:  http://daimodder.tumblr.com/post/128958896369/modmanager-59-available.

How to use
In ModManager, click the mod's name, click configure, drag the bottom edge of the window down, configure, click save, merge.
If an appearance is changed to itself, then it won't be changed (the mod will literally skip doing the change routine), this makes more sense if you look at the menu in the MULTI version.

KNOWN BUGS
There is something wrong when changing Unequipped or changing another armour to appearance of one of the 300b armours. This isn't game-breaking but you might get an unwanted appearance. I've put a considerable amount of time into diagnosing the problem, and I think it's something to do with the way I do the menus and work out which assets to use. I'd like to revisit this and get it right once and for all.


LIMITATIONS: This is a crude mod - you may very well get ear, hair, face, head clipping on multiplayer armours - many have hoods built into them - the EqT file allows you to tackle many of these issues. 

This mod does not make appearances that do not exist exist. All appearances are from the original armours in the list, so this mod can't produce a Skywatcher appearance for female human, etc (Skywatcher is male human, so it will only appear when you are looking at a male human). All multiplayer armours are bound to race and gender.

Technical, for other modders: this copies ItemPartAppearance DelayLoadBundleHashes to relevant locations in destination assets - I did a tutorial on it https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonageinquisition/mods/2384.



What does "write zeroes" do?
 (TL;DR if in doubt, just leave it blank)
If you select Write Zeroes, the changed armours will take on all of the appearances of the source armour. 
If not, the mod will hybridise the changed armour by only copying appearances from the source armour that look like something.

CREDITS
Thanks to Galaxyman2015 for providing me with a dump of DelayLoadBundleHashes. This was used to produce the MP armour array.
I want to thank everybody involved with the Mod Manager and Mod Maker projects, especially Galaxy/Eham, Zhentar, Dawnless Sky, Chrono414,
Tirnoney, esCanor, Dheuster and VoidRealms for their tutorials, without which I couldn't have done any DAI modding.
Thanks to ethicalinfant, plus electricfish and munchyfly on Discord. drag6295 for belief that I could actually do something,
I also want to thank Nexusmods.
Even more thanks to people who have taken the trouble to report issues with the mods! It is only through your efforts that things get discovered and fixed.
I do not apologise for my crappy, inefficient scripts - the coding snobs can bite me!

OPTIONAL
Manually Changing default values:
Get Notepad++ from here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download (DO NOT USE NORMAL NOTEPAD, it will break the mod)
Open the daimod in Notepad++
Scroll down to this code...


ConfigElementsList.AddEnumElement( "SourceSkin_num", "Change this Armour : ",     typeof(DestinAppearance), 0);
The 0 at the end is the number of the appearance on the dropdown menu (starts at 0)  - below is the list..


Example, to make this mod default to change Medium Avvar to look like Templar, you would do this:

You may wish to change the name of the file in the ModManager so that you can tell one armour from another. To do this head to the top of the daimod file in Notepad++

This is how to change a mod's name as it appears in ModManager. You MUST change it in both locations;
1. At the top it will say something like "DAIMODV2SOHNULNULNULSvarty's EqT VOPNUL... etc,
2. Being careful not to delete any of the NULs, select Svarty's EqT VOP and change it to what you want,
3. COPY what you have changed,
4. Go down two lines to  where it says <name>Svart's EqT VOP</name>
5. Select Svarty's EqT VOP and PASTE the copied text.

Remember to File > Save from the menu

Done.



Old change notes: 
Update [29/3/2019]: The mod has been rewritten. No more weirdness. It just works.There is an issue with Iron Bull Neck on some appearance - this is because this mod changes Part Appearances, not Appearance files. If you want the neck back, you'll have to edit the Appearance file it's missing from to include the neck. - you can work around this my moving the desired look to an armour where he already has his neck exposed.

Update [29/3/2019]: It appears that the formula I'm using to find the hash to swap is questionable. I have a working one in test. I will update this mod in due course...

Update [8/3/2018]: I noticed that ModManager was slow to start up when I had multiple copies of the mod in my mods folder. For this reason, I have uploaded a MULTI version of it. You can change upto ten armours with it. Just leave any excess armours with the same appearance they began with and the mod will skip them. The mod has the same issues as in the previous incarnation. 
If you happen have an idea as to why it doesn't work every time and would like to offer some information, I'd be grateful if you could put it in the posts or bugs tabs.


UPDATE [27/02/18]: The bugs affecting this mod should have been squished in the latest version. I've noticed at least one combination isn't right, but I'm running short of ideas as to WHY. I've replaced some of the assets and that fixed some of the issues. For most cases, however, I believe it should suffice in it's current state. I can only apologise that it isn't quite as good as I wanted it to be.
As ever, please report any bugs you find.
