📋 About This Mod

Replaces Dante's regular and EX costume with the DMC1 coat from MHW.

Additional Replacements Include:

  • []Dante's hair is replaced with a shorter/tighter version to try and closely match DMC1 and the DMC anime. M10 Dante has the shorter, DMC1-esuqe hair while M11+ Dante has the longer hair.

    []Dante's head and nose are slightly less wide, to give a bit of a younger look (I guess?).

    []Dante's normal maps and textures are slightly edited to de-age him a bit. Removed facial hair via transparency on the hair textures.

    I just threw this together in a day because I was gettin' mad at a tool to try and screw around with this not working, so the rigging is pretty haphazard.

    I should probably get someone who knows what they're doing to re-do/check it.

    Note that all versions of the heads are still edited, so anything that changes Dante's head mesh isn't compatible. I had to clip out his chest.

    • []Fixed main menu/van head.

      []Fixed arm normals on Dante.

      []Added vanilla head/hair option as a file.

      • []Fixed ATOS files so lighting should affect the model properly. Also fixes the thing where dante turns into stripes when in the middle of DTing/unDTing.

        []Edited turtleneck and gloves to be closer to DMC1 - turtleneck is higher and tighter, gloves are full instead of fingerless (or imitating that, anyhow.).

        []Added less shiny version of leather as an optional file because that's how I actually prefer it personally.

        V1. 2b

        • []Fixed neck sticking out of the back of the turtleneck. Hopefully.

        V1. 2c HOTFIX

        • []Fixed model and textures not appearing on lower settings.

        • []Touched up arm texture so that it closer matches MHW arms - used the texture from MHW and custom combination of MHW normals and djheretostay's "Legacy Dante" normals to create an actual look closer to a sleeve rather than bodypaint.

          []Refined weighting on chest coat and stomach area

          []Refined edited M10/short hair/DMC1 hair to get rid of the bald spot that was showing up.

          • []Added refined glove model and normals from vainiuss1 to make the gloves seem less like painted fingers.

            []Added variations to mod with MHW hair ported over by noShigu.

          V1. 5

          • []Added massive refining of rigging and textures by ThinRedPaste!  This also adds both midgame dirty and endgame dirty textures for the outfit!

            []Added option for original MHW textures there were used before as an add-on that you can put over the regular install if you prefer those.

          • Removed "Less Shiny" option as the refined textures include refined normals, meaning that the coat isn't overly waxy or too matte anymore.
