replacing an Orc skin color with another (Mag'har)

[mysterygamer3k]

The title pretty much sums up my question but to specify, What files would I need to swap in order to change one of the pre-existing skin color selections with the brown/Mag'har skin color? I'm not sure which of the files I need to be using or looking for when doing this. I have CASCExplorer already as well as a patched executable but I don't know which files to use for this particular change.

Here, you didn't specify male or female, so I'll list the files you want to extract and change the name of. What you want to do is figure out what skin color id you have, as well as the face type you have, and rename accordingly.
For example, if you are using the third face on the fifth skin, the name would be something like OrcFemaleFaceUpper03_05_HD or OrcMaleFaceUpper03_05_HD, depending on gender. The face number is first, and the skin number is second. They are not the same as the numbers you see in create a character, but are -1, so if you are seeing skin 4 on the character creation screen, you want skin 3.

If you want to change the entire skin, there should be files under “_101_HD” for female, and “_103_HD” for male, because if you change only a single face, the other faces for that particular skin color will remain green.

FEMALE
OrcFemaleFaceUpper00_101_HD
OrcFemaleNakedPelvisSkin00_101_HD
OrcFemaleNakedTorsoSkin00_101_HD
OrcFemaleSkin00_101_HD

MALE
OrcMaleFaceUpper00_103_HD
OrcMaleNakedPelvisSkin00_103_HD
OrcMaleNakedTorsoSkin00_103_HD
OrcMaleSkin00_103_HD

I hope this helps.

It does but I also don't know where to get the brown skin color files to use. Would you happen to know where those would be located? for Female orcs specifically.

I just gave you the names of them. If you mean how to find them in the directory, make sure you have a listfile you can load for CASCexplorer, and they will be under Character > Orc > Female, with the names of the files that I have given you previously.

OrcFemaleFaceUpper00_101_HD
OrcFemaleNakedPelvisSkin00_101_HD
OrcFemaleNakedTorsoSkin00_101_HD
OrcFemaleSkin00_101_HD

These ones.

Oh okay, thanks a ton! I really appreciate the help.
