Posts from Creating new creatures.

Without an NCF core, you can't add new creatures; you can only replace existing ones.

A creature is an in-game entity that has a model, texture, etc. These are specified in the files as a parameter.

It has a strict system here. The texture is only half the battle. I do it using a text editor. Take a screenshot of the window where you were making the changes, and I'll tell you what's wrong. It's quite difficult to explain here. But there's a simple method. Simple, if you understand the game files, their structure, etc.

Find all the files related to the armor in the game data, inside the Characters folder. Extract them, put them in another folder, redraw the texture, and then specify these copied files for the armor.

Um, did you replace the files of the armor itself in the game data? You need to put it directly into the map/mod...

Did you edit it through the editor, or did you extract the text files (textures, of course) and edit them manually? And if the latter, where did you send the modified content afterward?

First, I opened the armor resource through the map editor. Then, I determined the path to its textures in the data.pak folder, found the file with the .dds extension, copied it to my computer, edited it using Photoshop, saved it, and placed it back into the folder under a different name.

That's what I thought. You should have just put it directly into your map by opening it as an archive and following the same path. It's highly undesirable to replace the contents of the data file.

Almost. You need to create the same path as in the archive. That is, if in the archive, for example, it's Maps/scenario/map.scene, and you want to make a change to the map.scene file, you need to create a Maps folder inside the map, then create a scenario folder inside it, and put the file in there.
