📋 About This Mod

This is a basic standalone appearance mod that changes v's yaiba kusanagi to a custom recolor of the animals_03 variant.

-Should be compatible with most other vehicle mods, except those that change the model or variant of V's yaiba. Tested with CVO & CVO Gear Rework

-builds off the back of dimanik's fantastic 'Change your Favorite Motorcycles' mod - I recommend this to change your apollo and arch. yaiba variant options are not compatible, but can be made available on request.

Installation:

Download .zip and extract to your base Cyberpunk2077 folder

Be sure to only install one variant at once.

To uninstall simply delete the relevant .archive from your /mod folder. they are named with the structure 'basegame_custom_yaiba_'.

Known problems:

- low poly model still uses original colors. this is only seen from a long distance & briefly when the model is loaded.

- can cause crash on first load if you're in close proximity to several different yaiba variants (eg: by the biker gang in northside). if this happens simply reload the game.

-Some variants may produce strange/ ugly color schemes on gang bikes. if you notice any particularly egregious ones please report them and i will fix.

Under the Hood:

-modifies v_sportbike1_yaiba_kusanagi_basic_01.ent to change the player bike to the animals_03 variant

-modifies yaiba_kusanagi_basic.app to change the tires of the animals_03 variant to the default color with decals on the rear tire.

-modifies most yaiba .mlsetup files, even some unused by this model (so that bikes in the world don't look too odd).

the .mlsetups actually used by this model are:

_black.mlsetup (rear axle),

_yellow.mlsetup (body),

_rogue_01.mlsetup (seat, headlight, exhaust),

_01.mlsetup (front axle),

_kit_01_dark.mlsetup (air filter),

_wheel_yellow.mlsetup (wheels, who woulda thunk),

_tire_default.mlsetup (yes that's the tires)

Wishlist/future addons:

- Change all player yaiba sounds to misfit variant

- Change emissive of light to a xenon blue

- Color co-ordinate Neon component

Open to requests to be added to the set.
