Unfortunately a lot of template armour mods are out of date, usually because the mod tools became more efficient. For example most of the [https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Modding:Race_UUID race UUIDS] mentioned on these are defunct and some of the metas don't work. They are still useful to learn from and much of the code will still work, but it is not recommended to use them as a template, just a learning tool. For example, Sample Equipment Mod's backpack templates will still work fine. | Unfortunately a lot of template armour mods are out of date, usually because the mod tools became more efficient.

Now the material we have found, SourceFile "Public/Shared/Assets/Materials/Characters/CHAR_BASE.lsf" is a fairly standard shader without transparency or glowing. Materials that can be Transparent have 'Alpha' in the title. For example, "Public/Shared/Assets/Materials/Characters/CHAR_BASE_AlphaTest_2S.lsf" or "CHAR_BASE_AlphaTest_2S_Dither" will enable alpha and make the mesh visible from both sides (turns off backface culling). Underwear needs to have a Dither shader or it won't hide correctly. | Now the material we have found, SourceFile "Public/Shared/Assets/Materials/Characters/CHAR_BASE.lsf" is a fairly standard shader without transparency or glowing.

A virtualtexture is essentially a box for textures that makes it load faster. We don't have any way of packing virtualtextures ourselves, so do not attempt to use those materials. | ||
In order to make, say, pants disappear when boots are put on, you may need to use a _Vertcut Material, such as 'Public/Shared/Assets/Materials/Characters/CHAR_BASE_VertCut.lsf', and ensure VertexMask is set to True in the mesh lsx. (As well as vertex painting the item itself the desired colour) | In order to make, say, pants disappear when boots are put on, you may need to use a _Vertcut Material, such as 'Public/Shared/Assets/Materials/Characters/CHAR_BASE_VertCut.lsf', and ensure VertexMask is set to True in the mesh lsx.
