Installation Instructions
Unzip your downloaded file(s) and place the contents in your "EphineaPSO" folder!
Make sure to back up your files!
Skinning Resources
This section here will have all the applications you need along with 2 tutorials to help get you started!
Skinning can be a bit confusing at first but hopefully all of this will help with that!
If you have any questions about skinning, please feel free to ask me!
It's best to get in contact with me through the Ephinea Discord!
Make sure to back up your files!

PSO Mod Tools
This is an all-in-one download that contains a folder of all the applications you'll need for making your own skins!
Download

Mod Tools Included
TextureManager.exe (For opening .xvm files and importing/exporting .dds files, your main skinning tool.)
Lumiere.exe (For opening and editing n.rel files, this is used for editing most lighting in levels.)
GSLUpater.exe (For importing/exporting and opening up .gsl files, more specifically data.gsl.)

How To Edit Texture Files
I highly recommend using GIMP for editing .dds files. It's free and very easy to use!
Open up TextureManager.exe and navigate to your "EphineaPSO" folder and find the .xvm file(s) you are looking to edit.
To do this select the folder icon or "File>Load".
Open up the .xvm file and you will be presented with a list of .dds texture files with their image previewed.
When you find the texture you want to edit, select "Texture>Export DDS" and export the file to your desired location.

NOTE: Some files may be located in "data.gsl" in which you will use GSLUpdater.exe to find and export them.
Usually this involves exporting files from "data.gsl" with GSLUpdater.exe that need to be opened with TextureManager.exe once exported.
Any files that you edit that belong to "data.gsl" do not have to be imported back in.
Put them in the "data" folder located in your "EphineaPSO" folder and they will automatically be overridden without having to edit the original file.

Once you have exported the .dds file(s) you want to edit from their parent .xvm file(s), start up GIMP.
Open up your .dds file(s) and make the changes you want to it in GIMP, and then export it as a .dds.
Select BC1/DXT1 compression, and generate mipmaps if needed!

NOTE: TextureManager.exe will denote if a .dds file has mipmaps.
Be sure to make note of which original textures utilize mipmaps and those that don't.

After you have exported your edited .dds file(s) with GIMP go ahead and open up TextureManager.exe.
Use TextureManager.exe to navigate to the .xvm file(s) that contains the .dds file(s) you are looking to replace.
Open up the .xvm, select the .dds texture file(s) you want to replace and select "Texture>Import DDS".
Replace with the new .dds file(s) you edited in GIMP.
After you're done replacing all .dds files with their edited versions click the save icon or "File>Save".
And you're done! Go ahead and start up PSO to see your new skin in game!

NOTE: You can have PSO open and running in the background while you're skinning!
Changes will be reflected as long as you reload the area you are in.
For example, if you are editing Forest 1's textures, you just need to reload the area to see your changes reflected.
Simply drop a telepipe, pipe into town and then pipe back in and your changes will be loaded in.

If you ever have any questions about this process don't hesitate to ask me! ♥

How To Edit Lighting Files
To edit the lighting of an area you will be using Lumiere.exe to edit n.rel files.
Go ahead and boot up Lumiere.exe (run in administrator mode, otherwise it will not work properly).
Change the language to English by clicking on the American flag on the bottom right.
The language is set to French by default.
Select "File(s) to Read" and find the n.rel file(s) you are wanting to edit.
Select "Directory where to save the file(s)" and choose the folder that contains the n.rel file(s) you are editing.
Navigate to "Color Settings" at the top.
Choose a color you want, it is hex based so I like to use Google's built in Color Picker to get the hex code(s) I need.
Once you have found your desired color go ahead and type the hex code in next to "Color chosen".
Go to "Apply from this color:" and check the boxes for "Hue (Color)" and "Saturation (White Level)".
In most cases you will be leaving "Lightness (Black Level)" unchecked.
I always leave "Generate a color for each file selected" and "Modify Alpha Value" unchecked.
After you have done all that go ahead and select "Apply" at the bottom left.
And you're done! Go ahead and start up PSO to see your new lighting in game!

NOTE: You can have PSO open and running in the background while you're editing lighting!
Changes will be reflected as long as you reload the area you are in.
For example, if you are editing Forest 1's lighting, you just need to reload the area to see your changes reflected.
Simply drop a telepipe, pipe into town and then pipe back in and your changes will be loaded in.

Could I ask about the forest 2 changes? It seems forest 1 is much more blue than regular (making sense with the name "azure"). In what ways is forest 2 different? Also more blue? (Difficult for me to tell).

Looks great btw!
 
Thank you! Yes I believe so, but I can't remember to be quite honest. I had to include that file to change the doors in forest 1 and 2 to the color I wanted as far as I know. I just checked though and it seems this affects ultimate forest 1 and 2 doors as well, and I'm not sure how to make it change for normal forest doors only unfortunately. I'll have to reupload it without the door file or make a note of it for now.
 
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I'll try to have an ultimate forest skin uploaded soon too. It's been a while since I've made a skin but they're a lot of fun to make :)
 
Hi, do you know how to do custom skins or model swap for weapons?
Hello! Unfortunately I do not but I know there are a couple users here that have experience with that! I think the user egg yolk made a topic about model swapping in the tools forums.
 
♥ Update! New download links available for "Pioneer 2 Grass" ♥
*removed Azure Forest for now. It was my first skin and came out kind of janky in parts. It will be back up soon*

*This lobby was a serious challenge trying to come up with a good theme to compliment the windmill decorations! After several concept changes over the course of a few days I can finally say I'm happy with where it's at.*
