About this mod
Blond hair for Dandelion/Jaskier, to match the color of the flower he's named for
- Permissions and credits
Why is Geralt's best friend named Dandelion (in English) or Jaskier (in Polish), anyway? If it's because his hair is the same color as the flower he's named for, then shouldn't he have BLOND hair?
Well, now he does. :-)
RafaelgFaria asked for someone to make a lore-friendly Dandelion with blond hair and even suggested a specific color number. I used that color number for this mod, so this is really RafaelgFaria's mod; I'm just the one who implemented it.
This is what Dandelion / Jaskier looks like in the game with this mod installed. (This screenshot was taken in Murky Waters, and the air's a bit hazy there.)
To use, simply unzip the file and put cr_jaskr1_g1.dds in your Data folder. If you want brown-haired Dandelion back again, then remove cr_jaskr1_g1 from your Data folder.
Depending on whether you bought the game on disc or via download, whether you got it from GOG or on Steam, your game may be named slightly different things. But once you've found the files for The Witcher, it will have four folders nested below it: Data, Launcher, Register, System. This mod goes in that Data folder.
Since this mod alters a texture file, it will work the same no matter what language you're using to play the game. And since it changes one single texture file, the only other mods it could conflict with are those that also alter Dandelion's hair.
Note
Because of a variety of things going on in my personal life -- from my own chronic illnesses (including a recent bout with breast cancer, for which I'm still undergoing chemotherapy) to a shift in my interests (I'm now writing Star Trek fan fiction (under another name), rather than making Witcher mods) -- I have retired from Witcher modding. I am still supporting my new adventures for The Witcher, but all of my other mods are provided on an "as is" basis. I'm sorry that I no longer have the time and energy to reply to comments from people who haven't read the directions.
All of my mods DO work. If you're having trouble with one of them, the problem is likely to be one of the following:
1. ALL of my mods are for The Witcher ONE. Don't try to use them with The Witcher TWO or THREE, because that will not make you happy. :-)
2. Many other mods conflict with my mods. These include Full Combat Rebalance (FCR), Flash Mod, the Scabbard Mod, and a few others. If you're trying to use one of my mods with The Witcher ONE, and it's not working for you, you almost certainly have a conflicting mod. (I retired from Witcher modding before Rise of the White Wolf came out, but from what I hear, it's a big mod, like FCR is, and any of my mods that use appearance.2da will probably conflict with it.)
3. Occasionally a mod's file gets corrupted during download. If you're SURE that you have NO conflicting mods, and you're SURE that you're using the mod for The Witcher ONE, try redownloading.
4. If you're using the mod with The Witcher ONE and if you're absolutely CERTAIN that you have no conflicting mods (because you've never used FCR or Rise of the White Wolf or Flash Mod or the Scabbard Mod), and one of my mods isn't working for you, then you have it installed incorrectly. Make sure you UNZIP the file and put it in the DATA folder.
5. Occasionally, rare circumstances pop up. I once spent hours helping a guy who turned out to have TWO installations of The Witcher One on his computer. He was putting the mods in the Data folder for one TW1 installation but playing the other one. We tracked that problem down eventually. So that was still a case of his not having installed the mod correctly, though it was a much more interesting and unusual case of that than I normally see. :-)
Although I have retired from Witcher modding, I still have a soft spot in my heart for the game, and I hope you have a wonderful time playing TW1. Happy Witchering!
Well, now he does. :-)
