Final Update on Elesis Trials of Mana Mod

This should be the last update barring any catastrophic bugs related to the mod. There's still the issue of the hand clipping during the ready animation. I tried replacing that one (ready_00_L) with select_01_SL but it didn't seem to do anything. Moving the weapon bone on the skeleton doesn't seem to affect things either, the position is part of the animation itself. If anyone figures it out, please let me know and I'll update the mod.

Blazing Heart's model has been added for all dark paths.  Both models have been updated with slightly better hand rigging, that one clipping issue with the neck is fixed. Coats for both are now rigged to jigglebones. Also the mouthbox normals are now fixed, previously there was a weird shading issue with the teeth/tongue. Text replacement for the endings should be added now.

Same as before just drop the pak file in the archive into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Trials of Mana\Trials of Mana\Content\Paks\~mod

If you have both versions, make sure to rename file extension to something else or delete one to avoid one overwriting the other.

The mod with both BH and GCDC Elesis:

The mod with only GCDC Elesis:

I may or may not update with BH's blade as a separate pak over the dark class3/4 weapons but it has bad textures so I need to repaint those.

Update to Elesis trials of mana mod

Found an absolutely horrendous shapekey instance in one cutscene so I tweaked the shapekeys. There were also some slight fixes to weightpainting particularly around the ear and neck area. Also, some text has been replaced but not all. Grab the updated file here. Just drop the pak file in the archive into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Trials of Mana\Trials of Mana\Content\Paks\~mod

GCDC Elesis Only: https://www.mediafire.com/file/t9s229ffc3l8r2j/elesistommod.zip/file

Update 1: Still working on Blazing Heart and cursing my younger self making inexplicable modeling decisions. She'll be replacing all dark classes but there'll be a GCDC Elesis only ver as well. There's some bits of text I missed because they repeat the text in a whole bunch of different files. Also just found out Elesis's teeth normals were flipped so that explains some weird lighting when using shapekeys. I'll put that into the update with BH.

Update 2: adding jigglebones to cloak, turns out Duelist had skirt jigglebones, that also goes for GCDC Ele's previously unrigged shirt. Will make a separate post with the final dl links once I do final checks/tests.

Almost always found at weapon or armor shops, very fitting.


getting closer, have to fix hand rigging. Also finally added that burnt trim that was missing for I don't know 9 years?
