Mario over Batman Skin (New Slot)

DESCRIPTION:

Have you ever wanted to play a Batman game as Mario? Probably not but this is what I typically do when modding games. lol

Anyways, Mario's model is from Super Mario Odyssey but with various edits to better fit Arkham Knight's Artstyle like utilizing the game's "Micro Bump Map" feature to have more detailed Fabric and Skin Textures.

Mario has accurate proportions which works surprisingly well during Combat, I didn't notice any issues regarding the Hitboxes. Mario will visually clip through Objects & Characters during animations but he won't actually clip through anything so don't worry about falling through a Floor or going through a Wall.

Because of how the characters are animated in this game, I had to overhaul Mario's Eyes & Eyelids to work properly which did result in some wonky movement due to being designed differently. Looks fine for the most part, but it looks awful whenever Mario is looking off to the side because the Eyelids will also rotate alongside the Eyes. O_o

Mario can remove his Cap whenever Batman removes his Cowl, it looks really silly but works. If you're familiar with Mario's design then you'll notice that his Hair is a bit squished, that's because it's always visible. Batman's Hair doesn't simply appear & disappear during Cutscenes, it's actually a separate model that gets spawned. This model is actually shared between all Batman Skins, so editing it for Mario wasn't an option.

I have no plans to make this mod for any of the other Batman: Arkham games, feel free to backport it yourself but please Credit me if you release it.

Preferably with a Credits.txt similar to the one that's included in this mod.

INSTALLING THE MOD:

Place the "Mario" folder inside any numbered folder located in "SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Knight\DLC\"

I recommend "418930" (Dark Knight 2008 Skin) because it's the last one which means the files will be loaded after everything else. Useful info if making a mod that replaces a file instead of adding a new one.

That's it, Mario should appear alongside the rest of the Skins in the Showcase Menu.

If you don't have any of the DLCs, recreating the folder path might work? It worked for me but that could be because I already own all of them. I just know that you can't simply add a new DLC folder, it has to use one of the official names.

KNOWN ISSUES:

Known Issues #1 & #2: In order to keep his proportions, Mario's Bones have been edited to be in different positions. For the most part this works flawlessly but occasionally the Bones will revert back to their original positions, basically making Mario become "Batman-Sized"

It's actually less common than you'd think but definitely needed to be mentioned. Look at the Picture with "Known Issue #1" for a good idea o
