Dragon Age 2 Tattoos V.03

This is a collection of tattoos which can be used from the Tattoo slider in the Character generator or any time in game at the Black Emporium. It also contains 2 alternative HR skins: one for female and 2 for male characters.

This file contains most of V01 and V02 tattoos along with new models. The old tattoos have been modified a bit, so I would recommend uninstalling the previous versions (just get rid of the old files and change the chargenmorph file for the new one).


INSTALLATION


To install this mod, first unzip the Tattoos_V03.rar file and place the Tattoos_V03.erf file in your Dragon Age 2 override directory.

If you don't have a chargenmorph file installed in your override directory, just dump the provided chargenmorphcfg.xml file
in your Dragon Age II override directory. 

C:\Users\....username....\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age 2\packages\core\override



If you already have a chargenmorph file:

Insert the following lines under the tattoos section between the opening <tattoos> and closing
</tattoos> commands (see below). There should be some other lines for tattoos there.

You can open your chargenmorphcfg.xml with Wordpad or some other simple text editor. Don't forget to save the file
once modified.



 <tattoos>

        <resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h03_0t"/>
	<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h04_0t"/>
	<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h05_0t"/>
	<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h06_0t"/>
	<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h07_0t"/>
	<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h08_0t"/>
        <resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h09_0t"/>
	<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h10_0t"/>
	<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h11_0t"/>
	<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h12_0t"/>
    	<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h13_0t"/>
   	<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\mt_tat_h14_0t"/>
   
  </tattoos>



If you want to install the alternative skins you have to insert the following lines under the <skins> section
and select them in the Black Emporium from the Complexion slider. The models are included in the Tattoos_V03.erf file.



<!-- Complexion Slider -->

    <skins>
        <resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\XGFemale_0d"/>
        <resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\YgMale_0d"/>
        <resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\shared\heads\textures\XMRMale_0d"/>
       
    </skins>
