📋 About This Mod
I never liked how the surcoat armours covers your legs so much, so I decided to remedy that. If you happen to share that sentiment and like what I did with the surcoats, then by all means try this mod for yourself. My aim is to make the front of the coat shorter, while keeping the back "flaps" so it's still technically a surcoat. I also added a cut to the back which resulted in two seperate flaps. There are 4 surcoats being replaced by the mod; the regular Surcoat, Grand Surcoat, Royal Surcoat, and the Hero Surcoat. As of version 1. 2, the regular Surcoat, Grand Surcoat and the Royal Surcoat have been modified with an emblem on the back.
I've separated the male and female versions, for your convenience. You may choose to use either one or both.
Changelog
Version 1. 0 : Initial release.
Version 1. 1 : Added a "rim" to the edges of the surcoats' flaps. The rim's texture is the same one used on the surcoats' collar, though I did mix and match to get the colours I like.
Version 1. 2 : Edited the rim so that they do not end so abruptly. Also added emblems to the back of of the surcoats, except for the Hero's surcoat
-Installation-
Backup the original files, located in DDDA/nativePC/rom/eq/a_body/ and either the f folder for female or the m folder for male. The surcoats being replaced are the files numbered 0400,0404,0405 and 0406.
Extract the archive to the main game folder, where nativePC is located.
You can install version 1. 1 directly without having installed version 1. 0 first.
Keep the backups handy in case you want to roll back.

Thanks goes to the creator of Arctool and GIMP. Also to Capcom for releasing this gem of a game.
A simple edit to the surcoat class of armours, cutting the front short so they no longer obstruct leg armour. A niche cosmetic tweak for players who want better visibility of leg gear, with modest community support (123 endorsements).
