Witcher 2 modding: Sky is the limit. Why mod tools will be ideal

Hi, just a pictorial presentation of why I think modding unlocks the ultimate potential for creativity and user input(also show off my specialty, which is character replacement/re-imagining):

Aww.. Letho is such a loving daddy after all.

...Really my heart melted just now

 

[yuikami]

Awwwwwwwwwwwww Letho is like a giant hairless-teddybear xD~

IIRC modding tools/support has been promised by CDPR. Maybe the 2.0 update will add them?
Great pictures btw, very funny

 

[rub01]

They should defo release those tools, can't content myself with 2.0 only.

 

[Flitters]

Good stuff..not counting the mutated Geralt.

 

[soldiergeralt]

thanks for compliments.

also, someone developed tool for opening w2ent file. but can only be used as a viewer, no more. i am excited about modding prospects. please release w2ent editor. thank you

i shorten the tabard(to minimize clipping with legs) then put it on geralt.

 

[soldiergeralt]

bump. this must happen. thank you.

How were you able to replace Geralt?

 

[soldiergeralt]

unpack pack0, then use notepad++ to edit "def_item_armor" in the item folder. afterwards, just put the folder in the root directory and the game will read it.

i have experimented with all models, only working one is the kaedwen ghost soldier.

 

[morgwin]

Thanks. Which line do I change to make him the kaedwen ghost soldier?

 

[soldiergeralt]

for the armor you want to change, go to the coinciding sections' "equip_template" line and change the text after the equal sign to "geralt_keadwen_ghost"

edit: i actually said something wrong back there, it's been awhile since i modded this game, but you can also replace geralt's armor with letho's armor, as in the picture.

it's called richon_body

but as you can see, it's quite ugly.

i also managed to give geralt the beaver hat. i did it by editing the file "def_item_trophy" and changing the model name of one of the trophies into "q208_zyvik_fur_hat", then you can equip that trophy and wear the hat.

insert edited file inside their original directory folder into the cookedpc folder.

 

[morgwin]

Thanks again, One last question, Is it possible to change npcs as well like Roch?

 

[soldiergeralt]

only cutscene models, and it results in lots of visual discrepancies and bugs. i tried changing the regular model and the game just crashes.
