    I installed the black skin colorr options but no matter which black ones I pick they won't work. is there an install guide or am I doing something wrong?

      Yeah I am having issues with the ones that aren't skin. The eyebrows and skin work and I am not sure about the eyes since I have not tried them but I can't seem to get any of the normal replacements to work. Not sure if I am doing it wrong.

      DX12 won't load any Textures and Meshes, while DX11 will. Plus all mods needs to be merged into one .pak file with elex2resman, otherwise the one with the highest load order will just overwrite the other ones based on file types.

      The _1 versions change the starting texture and mesh. This is overwritten when you equip any armor.

    This is a fantastic mod. Thanks
    But, could you add or restore the day one jax's face? Or the face of jax from the demo version?
    He was bold and he had no beard and he looked more like the elex 1 jax. It would match perfectly for an alb playthrough.

    I played the demo version and sadly i don't have it anymore. By becoming an alb again jax skin turned pale but it was only in the demo version possible.
    Back then, the story was in the demo version fully playable and you could finish the story until the credits roll. I don't know why but they removed for some reason to turn pale as an alb in the final version.

    I hope you can do something about this

      I know that you have made an alb version and i like it, but there in the demo version is an existing one already

      In the PC demo version he looked like this: https://preview.redd.it/a9xlxjzb8uo71.png?auto=webp&s=09c0e1de437bc3485b9793bc23c60bacbf0d70c8

      And originally Jax was supposed to look like this as an alb.
      https://preview.redd.it/elex-2-classic-alb-jax-v0-727p8v3dr42a1.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=206e96f6153957fd35216a47c12a632c4108645d

      And for some reason PB decided to change the Alb armors as well and i know that there is an existing mod thanks to you already for that too.

      Before elex 2 was released, the most famous youtuber in germany played a stream of the demo version and the developers could also be seen in the facecam as well. This is how jax looked like before. 



      Btw, is it better to use the dx11 or the dx12 version?
      There are still even with the latest patch applied (GOG/Steam, doesn't matter) graphical glitches in the dx12 version of the game and i don't know if they will fix that in the future. AFAIK texture mods are only working with the dx11 version anyway. So, what can you recommend me especially with mods?

      Jax looks the same. They just have different shaders since it's demo so he looks more oily. That "hair" is actually released here too.

      This is just an artwork:
      https://preview.redd.it/elex-2-classic-alb-jax-v0-727p8v3dr42a1.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=206e96f6153957fd35216a47c12a632c4108645d

      PB don't do more than they need to. It was not released as far as I know. I do recognize those Eyebrows. Check Jax's Hair. I could try to emulate it but there is this one problem with playing with Jax's face texture that prolly has to do with compressing the textures. I can look into it again but I doubt there is anything.

      On the other hand I was working on E1 recently and wanted to check his E2 face again, so we'll see.

      If you want mod support use DX11. They will work on DX12 too but not modded textures and meshes. That is of course too small price and people will just want the FPS of DX12. I don't use DX12, but I tested it briefly to see if I could fix the graphical glitches. I really don't like the light settings of it. The only reason why PB has more FPS in DX12 is that they disabled shadows and some features of their graphical settings.

      I didn't have access to beta DX12 but I doubt they ever touched it and had like 2 people on it. They are working on E3 and are well known for not supporting their games outside of one or 2 bugfixing patches after release.

      Btw I'm pretty sure you and people only like this because of the eyeshadow that the game can't reacreate.

      That already looks very good! I hope you get it somehow and that it will be playable soon. Thank you for your top work.

      Can you make this facelift you're working on only come into effect once you join the Albs? I know that the devs didn't provide a tool for modding. It would be the best as soon as you can absorb elex your appearance changes. The more you absorb, the more you get back the look of an alb. So basically I'm talking about morphing. Is this somehow possible to get it that way? I guess not, right?Jax had golden or blonde eyebrows and white skin in elex 1 as an alb. It's probably blond/golden because of the lighting, but that doesn't matter. It looks really cool. It would be nice if you could do that too.

      You can swap mods when you become Alb. And again, the problem with modding PC_Hero AI texture is that no matter what compression is selected, his face is white. So that will work for Albs, but not for others. There will be a release with things I've repainted. It will be better than this mod, but we won't get to that artwork.

      Hello again! thank you so much for the answer and for the work done! I would like to ask, could you make a version of Johannes with black gloves? and is there an opportunity to make a mod for an invisible jetpack?

      Not sure about the gloves, they would take way too much work. We'll see, maybe I can figure it out.

      I already made Invis Jetpack but the mod was deleted because there is this weird graphic glitch after some hours of gameplay.

      Anyway here are the last 2 versions, enjoy. m_1_INVIS_JETPACK, m_1_INVIS_JETPACK_THRUSTERS.

      So gloves have been uploaded. And since I know where you are going with the outfift I also added plenty of other options. They all look absolutely awesome.

    hi bro!!
    how did you get elexetor's armor?
    I'd like to have her too.
    i downloaded the versions of ALB and ALB1 but I only manage to change my skin tone, the armor of the images does not appear to me

      These replace your Naked Body so it will be only visible if you take off your current armor. If you want real Elexetor Armor use Gear Enhanced that has it instead of the Commander's Armor for Albs.

      thank you very much friend, I really wanted this armor.
      it was the one I liked the most from the first game.
      and I didn't think I could get it.
      excellent your mod bro!!


      I wanted to ask you something else. are you saying that what I see in the image replaces my naked body and will only be visible if I take off my current armor? but which of all the files does that?

      The one that shows armor on the picture will have it on once you take off your normal armor ingame. So all of the game files without _1 have the armor as seen in the picture. Since I expected people might not like that, I also made FaceLift version with the standard naked armor and those files have the _1 after its name.

    New version 2.0 has been uploaded. It took an insane amout of work but it's magnificent. Everybody will find the one Jax they'll like.
    This concludes my trilogy of Jax's Facelift, Caja's Facelift, Nasty's Facelift, all updated to versions 2.0 with all feature available. Enjoy.

    Big thanks for this and all the other mods you've been pumping out for this game man, they've been improving my playthrough immensely!

    I like @FireHawkX would greatly appreciate a Caja face mod that would make her look more like her model from part 1. Just like I would also appreciate a Jax face mod that made him look more like himself from part 1 and not the weird dopey version in part 2.

      You can find Caja's Facelift here now. I know about that E1 face and believe me it was my first try, but it just doesn't work, because of many reasons, main one being elex2resman has limited features and even elexresman couldn't extract meshes. Let's leave it at that it breaks the game for now to port Caja E1 to E2, but I might spent more time on it in the future.

      Lol I actually managed to draw Alb Jax. Here's a preview. Also I'm preparing version 2.0. We'll see how it will go. And about the E1 Jax, that actually won't ever happen same like Caja. We can't convert the Meshes, and slapping Textures together worked only as to create that Alb Jax, which is still pretty good.

      Freaking sweet! Downloaded the trailer version of Caja from this facelift mod of yours, thanks again for doing all these mod releases. :)

      Sad that we can't get more badass looking Jax from E1 but that Alb Jax preview is indeed looking good bro. Keep up the great work!

    I was hoping for a replacement for Caja to get her Elex1 face (or get her a bit less ugly) :P
