v1. Gives Medium and Heavy Orcs, as well as Orc Archers, skins matching those of their Orcs Must Die 2 Counterparts.
v2. Adds skins to Gnoll Hunters and Mountain Trolls. Note that the Gnoll's Mane looks neat as Purple, but may eventually change to orange to match the rest of the body. Once I track down where it's being set, anyway.
v2.1 Retextures Spellbook enemy previews to match new skins

Installation:
1. If you don't have one already, create a Mods\ Folder in your steamapps\common\Orcs Must Die 3\OMD\Content\Paks\ folder
1. Place 500-OMD2 Minions_P.pak into your mods folder
2. Run the game!

Want to make similar reskins? You'll need an image editor, Unreal Engine 4.26, and tools to unpack/repack .pak files, as well as a way to extract textures from .uassets.

The .paks containing art for characters are 28-42. For enemies, you'll be editing their _BC Atlas files.

The process is something like this:

1. Unpak the .pak files to a folder
2. Move the textures relevant to the edit you want to make into your Mod's src folder, preserving the folder structure
(e.g. src\Characters\Heroes\Gabrielle\Mat\Gabrielle_Arms_And_Legs.tga)
3. Edit the textures in your Image editor of choice. .tga will do for most textures - be mindful of any alpha channels, however. For UI textures, you may need to create a mask with them to preserve transparency when importing to Unreal.
4. Create a new Unreal Project for your mod.
5. Move your edited files to the Unreal Editor's Content Browser, ideally preserving the folder structure and filenames.
6. Hit "Save All" in the Content Browser.
7. Go to File->Cook Content for Windows
8. Go to your YourUnrealProject\Saved\Cooked\WindowsNoEditor\YourUnrealProject\Content\
9. Move/Copy over all relevant files into your Mod's pre-pak folder(The one containing an empty OMD\Content\ folder).
10. Drag your Mod's asset folder over UnrealPak-With-Compression.bat
11. Move your newly generated .pak file to your Orcs Must Die 3\OMD\Content\Paks\Mods\ folder(creating it if it doesn't exist).
12. Add a _P to the end your .pak file's name
