Share Your .dat Swaps!

The blue looks really nice.

Finally got around to taking a screen shot since I got new stuff today

For probably one of the least picked char models in the game, had the pony tail chopped off, earrings, hair rubber bands, and forehead tattoo removed.

and also a reskin of hachiryu haidate to match the tantra set

Yeah, I love that blue one just like it is. My favorite color~ and thanks for the Aettirs! I'm replacing it for all races; never liked that blunt end.

Was there ever a luzaf set for Hume M? I liked that armour.

I often forget my Mog House is a custom dat, I've been using it for so long. XD

Very nice!

JeanPaul, ever thought about cooperating with Caradogg and Wildman for the FFXIview project? Some of the icons you designed are pretty neat and would be perfect to complement the ones already existing in the packet.

They are usually overflown with too much work, I'm sure having 2 more hands working on the project would help splitting the amount of work and getting a more enjoyable process for you devs and a more refined product for us users.

The thing about icon swaps is that there's only 1 dat file, which contains all the icons (for the English version, anyway, since they also store status descriptions, so there's another dat for Japanese). I can simply upload what icons I've made for anyone to use, including them and their project, if they're interested.

Anyway, here's a larger sample of what I've done for icons so far. I still need to do a lot of JA's, corsair rolls, and other buffs/debuffs like magic defense down, etc. I've blatantly stolen most of these icons from other games, some with a few edits. They're super blown up here so they look more pixely than they will in game.

Special Abilities:Job Abilities:Barspells:Enspells:Geomancy:Bard Songs:Debuffs:Miscellaneous:
Haven't gotten around to finishing the Futhark armor, I've been pretty busy lately.

So I haven't done any DAT Editing in years and am looking for the programs to get back into it, along with Race Lists and the jazz. Where can I find the appropriate tools?

And a couple of things I've done back in 2007/8. Unfortunately, I do not have them anymore:


- Was a custom body piece with the Mooshywooshy ported Organization XIII jacket where I removed the sleeves and added the Lv. 55 body piece's shoulder sash and metal shoulder pad. Easier seen in this version of my old sig without the proper lighting... Kinda.


- Ayane DAT for Mithra from Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven.

I've got all the tools uploaded here (minus Photoshop):

Very nice. I remember using META back in the day over ChangeTex, so this will be different. :x

Thank you very much! I clearly have some work to do.

If you get stuck and after searching can't find any tutorials or anything, lemme know. I've got a few projects I've been meaning to wrap up (the RUN armor recoloring, more custom icons) but I can spare a minute to explain some things.

Will do Jeanpaul. If anything, I just need to remember how to set up VRS again.

Have you released the icons for public use?

I feel like I should finish up the icons before releasing the .dat for it, though I have had some people requesting it for the time being. Here are a few more I've made:

RNG JA's:THF JA's:Circles:More Miscellaneous:
I still have a sizable list of icons to think up and then implement, if anyone has any good ideas for these, lemme know!
- Defense Up/Down
- Magic Defense Up/Down
- Evasion Up/Down
- Magic Evasion Up/Down
- Avoidance Down (reduced parry/shield/guard rate)
- Store TP
- Subtle Blow (probably make a boxing glove or something)
- Crit Rate Up
- Most JA's and some spell effects, too many to list

Do you have weakness?

I didn't do one for weakness. If anything, I'd replace the other status's that use a similar skull icon (petrify, paralyze, etc).

I also forgot to include that I made ones for Troubadour, Nightingale, and Formless Strikes.

These recolors are really nice; have you thought about releasing these as a pack? I quite like 8 and 9/10, and I think a darker more forest green color would look pretty good as well.

Awesome Sword of Seals too by the way! You're really talented to pull that model off in XI, have you ever thought about possibly doing an Alondite or Ragnell?

The thing about the recolors is that each race/gender has a different texture file, so to create a bunch of them (especially as full sets) would take a long time. The other issue is that the textures look different in Photoshop than they do in game, so it can be hard to tell how they're going to look when you're working on them. If there's enough demand for them, however, I'll probably do more colors and for more races/genders.

I'm making Ragnell next, which will look exactly as it does in Brawl.

I hate to double post, but I've finished a few things:

Mithra Blue Futhark for Kyrial:

Galka Gold Futhark for Sechs:

Hume Male 4 with a more mature face (and a bonus hair color) for Gavran:

Just a few more icons:

Nightingale, Troubadour, Formless Strikes, Sange, Addle

That's it for today. Lately I've been looking at more music to implement, and start uploading song collections by category (towns, outdoor/dungeons, battles). No one here has commented much on replacing music files, but I'd like to think there are some lurkers who'd like to have songs from other games (like Bravely Default, Xenoblade, other Final Fantasies, etc).

WHere are these song files?!?

That would be awesome! Is there any way to put music in the zones that don't have any?

Good call, Mefuki. I have changed a lot of my .dat music files for FFXI, a majority of the music in FFXI I like, but I changed Jeuno's music to:

and my Mog House music to:

Omg thanks Jeanpaul! <3

Anyone good with the motion editing and able to fix the lax idle for mithra? Created by Korith? Kyuna tried to fix it... but it causes the running motion to be awkward.

*edit* for the new trust animation.

I tried uploading the music I've got to ffxidats, but it didn't seem to work, possibly because I was uploading collections rather than single files. I've got over 30 songs and some of them are extended so they can include their intros, but without having to hear them restart constantly. Does anyone know a good place to upload them?

Songs I've imported so far:
DUNGEON/WILDERNESS SONGSTOWN SONGSFIGHTIN' SONGS

Femina Subligar with Healer's Pantaloons DAT from Spats Set by FallenDarkAngel

Here's one for all you Ike fans

Really awesome, Jeanpaul! I'll definitely be using that Ragnell, and maybe the Sword of Seals as well when I finally get around to acquiring a Macbain. Any plans for any other Fire Emblem related weapons? Those icons look pretty fantastic too.. I have no idea why SE re-used so many icons for so many different buffs/debuffs. Would you still take a request for Futhark re-coloring, or do you have a lot of projects going on currently (I imagine the icons is quite time consuming)?
