  ...get helmets and shoulders(and gauntlets for Alch), for everything else use retexturing and use the standard wardrobe.
  

  
  I agree with your approach. I will definitely help you with all the retexturing. Maybe we can ask @Arkham to help too

• Guys, what do you say if I use gauntlets for my new race - The Immortals? The new race will give me an incentive to work on gauntlets.

• Of course that's fine Kva! The gauntlets are your work after all, so you can use them any way you want

  The Immortals
  

  It's just a concept, but I want to do something like this.

  ...I would love to see you do some unique armor sets for all three classes.  Even just one each would be amazing.  We could use them as their ultimate, class-specific armor.
  

  
  Was just thinking - maybe we could make these unique armor sets drop only from special bosses.  These bosses could use the TL1 models (for TL1 flavor and also because they're already available ) and you have to accept a quest to encounter them. When you defeat them they drop the armor they were using, so you now have a complete unique set.
  
  The big challenges are of course importing 2 or 3 TL1 armor sets into TL2, but the quest-design is also a big challenge.  Maybe not day-1 content but additional DLC.
  
  Hey @Kva3imoda  I saw your new post about the Faceless class! I'll have time this weekend to help you with the back-story editing ;P

  It works, here's how it looks.

• Thanks very much Kva!
  
  Your item .DAT file is for a full "suit" implementation, am I right?
  
  I'm trying to use your models for just a glove item, by putting them in a glove .DAT like this...

  I can spawn the glove just fine in GUTS, but when I try to pick it up it will crash GUTS

• @Kva3imoda I figured out what I was doing wrong!  I was not using the .SKELETON files you provided in your download (I assumed your meshes were still using the standard TL2 HUM_M and HUM_F skeletons ) - MY BAD!
  
  All good now - my glove/gauntlet item shows up fine!

  Woohoo!
  
  

  
  Thank you again Kva for these great meshes!

  Technically is true, wardrobe skeletons identical, but have a different name.

• Thanks Gytfunke!
  
  Kva i have a question for you - is it possible to reposition the gauntlet meshes so that they can be equipped as weapons?  Im thinking this will be an easier way to put them in the game, since its not necessary to make a complete wardrobe-like mesh for weapons. What do you think?

  This is possible, but the result will be unsatisfactory. During animation weapons rotate, there will be problems. Possible to try make shields, but I'm not sure of the result.

  You're right, I didn't think about that.  I'll try to convert some more of the glove items to use the gauntlet mesh...
  
  I will experiment if I can assign the mesh from the base .DAT file, to simplify the work
  
  EDIT
  Yup, you can define the mesh to use from the base .DAT file of your unit. Having trouble using [TEXTURE_REPLACE] though...
