📋 About This Mod
Comrades Mod Hair Shadow Fix
by impatient-traveler / EratoTiaTuatha on Steam
Removes the shadow cast by all female modded hair in Comrades/Avatara.
1. Navigate to your FFXV installation folder.
2. Inside that go to: datas/character/aw/aw00/common/sourceimages
3. You will see an 'autoexternal.earc' file there. Rename it and keep it as backup.
4. Extract/copy the file provided in this package there, to replace the old autoexternal.earc
If you wish to uninstall, simply remove the mod file and rename your backup to how it was before.
HOW IT WORKS:
Comrades automatically loads a corresponding baked occlusion (shadow) map onto the head depending
on which hairstyle is chosen.
Unfortunately all mods are dependent on hairstyle 92, which happens to have most of the forehead shaded.
This mod replaces the hairstyle 92 occlusion file with a blank one, thus removing shadows from
all female hair mods.
KNOWN ISSUES:
As the hair mods pull their occlusion files straight from the stock hairstyle,
this mod will also remove the shading associated with hairstyle 92
(the shoulder length straight hair with bangs)
