Drag n Wash Skins - Custom Textures

Drag’n Wash Skins

Drag’n Wash Skins lets you install, select, and preview custom textures for each dragon without replacing the game’s original files.

Custom skins are organized into simple per-dragon folders and can be switched from a visual panel inside the game’s pause menu. Selecting the previous or next skin applies it immediately, making it easy to preview different designs.

  []Instant skin previews when selecting Previous or Next[/]

  []Refresh edited textures without restarting the game[/]

  []Supports base color, normal, metallic, ambient occlusion, smoothness, emission, mask, and other shader maps[/]

  Requirements

  • []BepInEx 5. 4. 23. 5 x64 Mono[/]

    Manual Installation

    • []Install BepInEx 5. 4. 23. 5 x64 Mono for Drag’n Wash.[/]

      []Drag the downloaded ZIP into the Vortex Downloads page.[/]

      []Install and enable the mod.[/]

      []Launch the game once so the required skin folders can be created.[/]

      The plugin should be installed at:

      Drag’n Wash/BepInEx/plugins/DragNWashSkins/DragNWashSkins.dll

      Installing a custom skin

      Place each skin in its own folder under the corresponding dragon:

      BepInEx/plugins/DragNWashSkins/

      └── My Custom Skin Name/

      ├── Body_BaseColor.png

      ├── Body_Normal.png

      ├── Body_Metallic.png

      ├── Extras_BaseColor.png

      ├── Extras_Normal.png

      ├── EyeL_BaseColor.png

      └── EyeR_BaseColor.pngTextures may also be placed inside a

      Texturessubfolder. Not every map is required—include only the textures your skin changes.

      Supported texture-set prefixes

      • Body_— Main dragon bodyExtras_— Additional horns, claws, fins, markings, or other extra surfacesEyeL_— Left eyeEyeR_— Right eye
      The left and right eyes are handled separately, allowing them to use different textures.

      Common filenames

      Body_BaseColor.png

      Body_Normal.png

      Body_Metallic.png

      Body_AO.png

      Body_Smoothness.png

      Extras_BaseColor.png

      Extras_Normal.png

      The game stores metallic, ambient occlusion, and smoothness information inside a packed mask texture. The mod automatically packs the individual maps into the correct shader channels at runtime. Roughness maps are also supported and are automatically inverted into smoothness.

      Using the in-game menu

      • []Enter a level and wait for the dragon to appear.[/]

        []Press Escape to open the pause menu.[/]

        []Use Previous and Next to select a skin.[/]

        []The selected skin is applied immediately.[/]

        []Use Refresh / Reload after adding a skin or editing its PNG files.[/]

        []Use Restore Original to return to the dragon’s normal game textures.[/]

        []Use Open Mod Folder to quickly access the skin directories.[/]

        Keyboard shortcuts

        • []F9 while paused: Refresh the skin list and reload the selected skin[/]

          []Shift + F9 while paused: Restore the original textures[/]

        Simple body-only skins

        For a basic recolor, create a skin folder containing a single PNG. The mod will treat it as the main body base-color texture automatically.

        For skins containing several maps, use the standard filenames shown above.

        Troubleshooting

        []If a new skin does not appear, open the pause menu and select Refresh / Reload.[/]

        []Make sure the skin has its own folder inside the correct dragon’s directory.[/]

        []Check that filenames begin with Body, Extras, EyeL, or EyeR.[/]

        []Make sure the files are PNG images.[/]

        []If the menu reports that no dragon was detected, wait for the dragon to finish spawning and reopen the pause menu.[/]
