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.

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
