About this mod

This mod replaces Duran with Angela as much as possible - the result is Durangela. This is not a boring model swap.
There are model/animation changes/adjustments to both Angela's models and equipment, and it also blanks out/switches all
audio/text to Angela where possible including: battle voices/spells/class strikes and sidetalks/events.

Durangela

This mod will replace Duran with Angela as much as possible - the result is Durangela. This is not a boring model swap.
There are model/animation changes/adjustments to both Angela's models and equipment, and it also blanks out/switches all
audio/text to Angela's where possible including: battle voices/spells/class strikes and sidetalks/event dialogue.

Note: Fully compatible with Hair Colour Change and Adjust Costume -Angela- mod by Levnax85.

           Fully compatible with all languages. Supports both English and Japanese Audio.

First project requiring Blender. It was terrible.

I have created a separate archive containing all models used.
If anyone with decent Blender skills want to add polish, by all means.

Main PAK File Details:

Durangela:

durangela_1_P.pak

Converts Duran -> Durangela:

    - All changes made to the english audio was mirrored for the japanese audio

    - Silent in cutscenes (unvoiced) [Note: There are a few lines where Angela will speak]

    - Angela's sidetalks are used when alternate character versions are available

    - Sidetalks unique to Duran (no alternate versions) remain Duran's (not voiced)

    - All battle voices/talking is Angela

    - Spell voices are Angela's (closest spell name is used - ex: Fireball for Fire Saber)

    - Class Strikes were reconstructed using Angela's voice clips

        - Reconstruction was based on the english voice clips... hopefully it sounds good in japanese as well?

    - Models/Animations are swapped to Angela's
 
        - Angela's models adjusted to support shields

        - Angela's models altered to support Levnax85's hair color mod

        - Duran's animation for putting weapon away while moving is kept

        - Angela's animation for putting weapons away while not moving is used because Duran's animation doesn't fit at all
          (As a result the sword will get put away upside down, but at least the animation is smooth)

        - Duran specific animations, such as Class Strikes, are left as they are, since there is no Angela equivalent

Altered Sleeves:

durangela_altered_sleeves_1_P.pak

Alters all of Durangela's models to adjust the sleeves/hair:

    - Prevent clipping issues

    - Sleeves removed/cropped/adjusted

    - Hair from Angela's [DD] Duelist model is used (it floats slightly) to give more room for the shield between back/hair

    - [DL] Edelfrei's hair adjusted so it doesn't clip the collar

Altered Sleeves - No Cape:

durangela_altered_sleeves_no_cape_1_P.pak

Alters 4 of Durangela's models to adjust the sleeves/hair (same as above), and removes the trailing capes/ribbons:

    - Used in combination with above PAK file (Altered Sleeves).

    - Affects: [LD] Liege, [DD] Duelist, [L4] Divine Hero, [D4] Berserker

    - In addition to sleeves/hair adjustments, removes the trailing capes/ribbons to fix clipping issues

Note: See optional folder for alternate PAK files if you want to manually choose which models are no_cape

Altered Sleeves - No Cape [D4 Berserker] - Red Gloves:

durangela_altered_sleeves_no_cape_4d_berserker_red_gloves_1_P.pak

[D4] Berserker
gloves black -> red:

    - Remove the ".option" from the filename to enable

    - Changes Durangela's [D4] Berserker glove colour from black -> red

Fixed Swords:

durangela_fixed_swords_1_P.pak

Alters all the sword/shield models so that they work properly with Angela's models/animations:

    - All sword models have a longer/narrower handle

    - All swords/shields individually adjusted for where they are held/stored on her back

    - Repositioning/scaling was done to minimize clipping for large awkward sword/shield combinations

    - Knucklebow from Saber and Colichemarde was removed due to clipping (see optional folder to restore it)

    - Ribbon on the Sigmund was removed due to clipping (see optional folder to restore it)

Note: For perfectionists - the sword/shield on her back are centered and aligned, but the depth/angle can make it look
           slightly off, when removing Durangela's hair and getting a direct look they are in fact perfectly aligned,
           the shield/sword are not flat against her back, and they do have an angle to them to minimize clipping with clothing
