Dynamic capes: A lucky discovery
Did you see the picture above? Did you believe the cape was dynamic? Well, it is.
It started a few days ago, when I was looking through the graphics.big, and saw a model with a cape. I decided to make it a piece of armour, and this became the early tests.
And a proof of it being dynamic:
Later, after having given up on making a dynamic cape, I was messing around with NPC clothing, trying to get it to work without a model switch, or any modeling at all. The answer was alpha textures, as seen in these screenshots:
It wasn't until after I posted those last two screenshots on Fabletlcmod.com that I realized I could use the alpha textures to hide the rest of the model that had the dynamic cape, and use the CAppearanceModifierDef to put it on a separate piece of armour. The result was the picture at the top of this thread. And here it is again:
And a slightly different one, as proof that it is dynamic:
I hope all you modders have fun with this discovery, and here is the file, with normal, dark, and light plate armour with capes, as well as a caped platinum armour.
EDIT: Added fix for loading bug. Load the fix first, then load up the normal one after. That should make it work.
EDIT 2:If that still doesn't work, then close FE and load up the normal FMP again without the fix, and it should work this time. If it doesn't, then I have no clue what to do, as this is where it worked for me.
