Change item model

[RetsReds]

Hi, I have a quick question - does anyone know how I can change the model of an item with another? I'm not looking for a mod or anything, I don't want to create a whole new 3D model in an editor, I just need to know where in the game's files the items' models are stored so that I can swap one of them. I don't like how the Dragonrift pants look so I want to change them with literally any other pants model. :)

But you need to make a mod because these models are all packed into a single binary data file ;)

You need a way to extract that file into several folders, modify the file you want, and then pack them all back into the binary data file. Which is what a mod does essentially (but in a more efficient way - it only packs the changed files instead of packing it all)

So yeah, GUTS. No way around that.

Blah, I was hoping there simply were some text files somewhere... Ok, thanks. :)

Yeah there are text files.. Inside the binary data file ^^

GUTS is actually a glorified text file editor - with some stuff to edit 3D animations as well, but at its core, GUTS is a tool to browse easily the decompressed data folder and regroup the data by category.

Yea, I know, I just don't want to get into it...
It's ok, I don't really need the pants for the healthsteal Dragonrift bonus. :)

@RetsReds
It is literally just 1 data file that would need to be edited XD
But ye like Potter said, ud still have to pack it in GUTS in the end
