You have made a mesh for a human man, a circlet. We are going to add it to the game. [[Modding:Creating and Exporting Meshes in Blender|(See here for how to make new meshes in Blender!)]] | |||
Remember to check your naming conventions for .lsf.lsx files so the multitool correctly converts them, and keep in mind that some lsx files should not be converted to lsf at all. | |||
This guide does not cover adding custom icons. For that, see [[Modding:Creating Item Icons|Creating Item Icons]]. | |||
==Sample Templates== | |||
Please do remember it is best practice to unpack and consult the game files directly. | |||
*[https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/3862 Mod Builder] by ReallyLazyIcarus. A python script that generates a folder workspace and empty lsx in the correct format to be converted with the multitool. Recommended! | |||
*[https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/5165 BG3 Equipment Generator] by Bytebard. A new program, it looks to be a promising new way to add items. | |||
* | |||
Unfortunately a lot of template armour mods are out of date, usually because the mod tools became more efficient.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. | |||
*[https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/400 Sample 3D Edited Equipment Mod] by AnteMaxx**A template mod for datamined and 3D edited armor modding. Contains 1 armor, 1 pair of mismatched boots, 1 pair of mismatched gloves, 1 headwear and 1 shoulder armor. Mainly a modder's resource, but can be enjoyed by players as well. | |||
*[https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/278 Sample Magic Ring Mod] by AnteMaxx | |||
**A template mod for magic ring and spell modding. Contains 4 magic rings. Mainly a modder's resource, but can be enjoyed by players as well. | |||
*[https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/249 Sample Equipment Mod] by AnteMaxx | |||
**A template mod for Armor and Weapon modding, and for implementing custom icons. Contains 3 armors, 1 weapon and 1 backpack. Mainly a modder's resource, but can be enjoyed by players as well. | |||
*[https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/1808 BG3 Creator's Cauldron]- an older program. Useful for its long lists of armor.txt and passives for you to use. | |||
*[https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/502 BG3 MiniTool by Padme4000]- Can generate a [[Modding:Creating meta.lsx|Meta]] for you to use. | |||

==Meshes.lsx== | |||
First we export our mesh, '''HUM_M_CLT_Headwear_Circlet_Silver_A''', from Blender to the MySweetMod/Generated/Public/MySweetMod/'''Assets''' Folder. | |||
We now create 2 lsf.lsx for our MySweetMod\Public\MySweetMod\Content\Assets\Characters\'''[PAK]_Armor'''. | |||
In these will be a visualbank (list of meshes),a materialbank (list of materials) and a texturebank (list of textures). You can split them into their own pages or combine them all, it doesn't matter. When the multitool converts them they will all get merged together anyway. This separation is for viewer ease as they can become very long. For our needs we are putting them into 2 lsx, a meshes and a texture/material one. | |||
First, the meshes.lsx. | |||

Note that this is a circlet, so it doesn't need to hide any part of the body. But if it had that code, it would go here. Example: | |||
<node id="VertexColorMaskSlots"> | |||

</node> | |||
This code would stop the body's feet from loading in and clipping, ideal for boot items. See [https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Modding:VertexColorMaskSlots here for a full list of Vertex Mask Slots for the body.] | |||

'''(End of MaterialBank)''' | |||
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. | |||
Materials with _VT at the end are useless to us, as they only work with virtual texture. 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) | |||
[[Modding:Non-VT Shaders|See here for a list of available materials.]] | |||
We now add a texturebank to the same lsx. | |||

<attribute id="SourceFile" type="LSString" value="Generated/Public/MySweetMod/Assets/MSW_CoolCirclet_NM.DDS" /> '''Capitalisation is IMPORTANT. Make sure your texture is not named MSW_CoolCirclet_NM.dds or it won't load.''' | |||
<attribute id="Format" type="uint32" value="64" /> | |||
<attribute id="Width" type="int32" value="1024" /> These dimensions don't need to be exact. I believe if it is smaller than listed, the texture will tile. | |||
<attribute id="Height" type="int32" value="1024" /> | |||
<attribute id="Depth" type="int32" value="1" /> | |||
<attribute id="Localized" type="bool" value="False" /> | |||
<attribute id="SRGB" type="bool" value="False" /> Ensure this is set to False on anything except a Basecolour! All other maps do not convey colour information so they don't need it on. | |||

</save> | |||
If there is anything wrong with the material, your item may simply refuse to show up, so it is worth double-checking everything here. | |||
==RootTemplate == | |||
Now for the game to recognise the circlet as an item, we add it to the root template lsx: | |||

You can generate a handle by ticking the Handle box next to 'GENERATE' on the Multitool. It is much like an UUID but it starts with an H. | |||
The version number has to do with internal references. Just make all of yours say 1. | |||

<content contentuid="HANDLE1" version="1">Circlet</content> | |||

This will make it spawn in the tutorial chest. Other treasuretable codes to put it different places can be found [https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2534 here- Modder's Resource - Treasure Table Spreadsheet]. | |||
Make sure you don't forget the ''I_'' prefix for the item! | |||
The numbers affect the drop rate chance among other things. The numbers above will cause the item to always spawn in the chest. For more info see Larian's wiki page on [https://docs.larian.game/Treasure_Tables TreasureTables], it is for a different game but shares the same idea. | |||
If you plan to put a lot of items in your mod, it is recommended to create a bag item containing them and put that in the Tutorial Chest, to avoid clutter. | |||
If something goes wrong, it is recommended to overwrite a custom mesh from someone else's | |||
