All-In-One Vanilla Hair Blender file - Modder's Resource

Well I'm making mods in a more private environment normally, off the public release-light and I've seen a bunch of hard-to-modify games over this time. Elden Ring definitely is a very good example for a being a diva of a game when it comes to set up a workflow-"efficient" environment, so while I was about to wrap my head around the modding of hair styles, I felt like I was building a house in the middle of the jungle.

Long story short:

This is less of a mod than a collection of files useful for getting started with the hairworks, after you set up the workspace environment.

The content consists of the following:

• []Main: All-in-One Blender-Hair Style pack

  - A modified Blender-file of the base body model "ER_Base_Male" with all the vanilla ER hair styles existing so far in it.[]Secondary: Sorted, unpacked Hair folders:

  - The folder structure of every vanilla Hair Style to eventually replace the altered file with the old one and re-pack it from there to make it game-ready.[]Optional File: Player Base model

  - A Backup-version of each, the "ER_Base_Male" and "ER_Base_Female" (bc they are rarely/sloppily pointed out where to find them and yet so important. If you happen to be the owner around three corners of these files and want these being taken down, tell me. The place I got them from wasn't delivering any prohibitions)

Special thanks:

• []ZLOHORT for the incredible guidance, patience and offering of a helping hand in order to get myself through the process of modding hair styles for ER.

  []Ikaros473 for delivering the very reason to get into modding hair styles at all with publishing his Realistic Long Hair mod that delivered the very basement to start a merge attempt in order to have me trying to turn the female-oriented hair style into a male version.

  FAQ:

  • []What do I need to get started creating mods in ER for... everything!?

  - If you rly want to be able to edit everything, get yourself a cozy coffee, it's not a humble list of programs:

  []UXM (to unpack game files)

  []Yabber (to unpack the unpacked dcx files)

  []BBtools (Blender file format & texture mod + no sign-up process to get the tool. Luvit.)

  []Blender + Blender SourceTools (Obviously you need a 3D program to do the actual editing in 3D. Sourcetools are for importing the models' SMD)

  []Paint.net or Photoshop (if you don't have PS, paint.net should be a reliable option, yet I cannot tell, using PS/CD)

  []FLVER Editor (to update-merge certain things after doing the blender-"magic")

  [*]Yapped Rune Bear or DSMapStudio (Honestly, I go for the latter; I never
