📋 About This Mod

Remade the patch with the new toolset, so all files are now in daimod format. Same mod, just an update to be compatible with the new tools.

Barring any problems, I am now finished with this mod. I've managed to acquire the Arishok vitaar, and grabbed the Blightwasp, so both of those are now included. Also, Ehamloptiran, wonderful creator of the toolkit, was kind enough to edit the color on a couple and walk me through how he does his voodoo. (Twice.) He has also given me permission to share the files he colored for me. As a result, there is an option for those. The Deathroot (intense, I believe) has a purple option, the Deepstalker has a blue option, and after he explained it all (again) I was able to edit the arishok to have a blue option.

There is also now an option for individual vitaar. All files are packed together, but each vitaar is patched separately. If you only want one or two, you can merge them on their own. This zip contains the optional color patches. There is also a single patch that will replace all of the ones I have done.

This was a lot of patching, so if there are problems, let me know and I'll get it sorted. Otherwise, this mod is complete.

I love the qunari and the concept of the vitaar, but most of the ones we got in game look like smeared mud.

This mod replaces five of them: rashvine, deathroot, deepstalker, elfsnake, and wyvern (wyvern and gurgut share files, so it probably replaces that one, too.) The blossom vitaar has been added to replace the elfsnake, so cheat engine is no longer required to get it. The rest are my own designs. FYI -These will not show on Iron Bull - he has his own textures - but I think they will show up on a male quizzie. Some are rather feminine, so be aware of that.

Because of the way the vitaar work in game, colors are determined by a different file. I've been told that they can be edited, but it's a bit complicated and I haven't experimented with it yet. For now, the color of the original design determines the color the new one.

All vitaar of the same group share a design. The type (keen, intense, etc.) determine what colors are used and what parts of the design show, but overall, the actual design will be the same for all of them. All of these can be bought in Haven, Skyhold, and Val Royeaux, though the level requirements are still in place.

Install with the mod manager.

Thanks to everyone who made the tool set possible.
