Nice to hear that, have fun with it lad.

I wanna thank you low hanging nuts for making this original mod and thereby inspiring me to try and fill a gap the devs left that I think is really freakin' stupid but that is what PC gaming is for, you can just fix what's stupid or broken lol.

Also hoping I get Rae's Vault costume at some point, those have been my favourite ones so far and I keep getting duplicates of the same 3 things even though the drop list from those chests is massive from what I can find online.

(stupid too big comment needing two posts)

Alright, after messing around a little I've successfully taken apart a bunch of game files, edited textures, put the files back together and got my changes to successfully show up in game and still be able to play online (tex editing only, no mat editing). The work is sloppy and looks meh at best currently but I'm going to refine it to my personal liking over time.

I've decided instead of going for proper gold effects, I'm happy with the yellow from Mr Foster's Dosh Lover Vault Mask (blue rare) and I'm going to change bits of Mrs Foster's 3rd and 1st person textures to reassemble that more.

Yeah just having diffuse and specular painted in gold doesn't have the same effect, it just doesn't look right. I tried doing that to guns once, it looked like brass at best, it looked even worse on nails. So yeah I suppose you can't get much out of it as for now.
If Rae does have Precious skin it's possible for her to have golden nails, just have the right skin mask that includes nails and you're good. Well, unless that's what's already done there. I still haven't checked those out lol.

Oh wow, that's pretty much exactly what I had in mind!

Shame about the materials and online thing. So if I'm understanding correctly, you didn't just open photoshop and recolor the texture file but straight up changed a part of the model to get the correct gold? If so there's more going on under the hood than I thought there was.

Well, I do know how precious skins work, so at this point Rae skins don't help much. If only there was a way to utilise existing materials on other skins/characters as it's possible for weapons, it'd make things much easier.
The thing is, you can't paint nails in proper gold without having master material that includes gold, so you need to come up with editing the material for it, but stuff like that doesn't work online unfortunately.
I just tried doing that and it looks somewhat decent, but again it won't let you join any server.
You can check this out and see how it's done: link [drive.google.com]

From a quick poke through the game files to find the textures for Mr Foster Vault, I discovered Rae Higgins has a Precious Vault skin with gold/yellow nail painting, I don't know if that could be helpful?

I can usually learn the basics of most software easily enough, after posting my last comment I already took apart the UPK for Mrs Foster to get an idea of what I was working with. I was thinking of taking the colours from Mister Foster's vault costume and just using them to edit the black variant of Mrs Foster's gear.

I've already learnt a couple of things (such as setting up and running dedicated servers) thanks to KF1+2 and I don't mind messing around with the SDK. Might learn something worthwhile, might just learn random stuff specific to this game.

As for you making a golden variant, that's up to you if you want to do it, I already appreciate you making this mod and don't want to bother you with doing anything else if you yourself aren't interested.

It's actually the same package with other equipment pieces but different texture files yeah.
I used KF2 SDK for editing the packages and Photoshop for making the mod itself.
I assume you could use some kind of guide on working with SDK first, otherwise it won't worth the time you'd spend on figuring it out.
If you want the golden fingernails I could try making such version for you, but I'm not sure if it'll work well online since I'd need to edit the materials to get the better looking gold.

Aw man. Guess I'm going to have to learn how to make one myself lol.

What tools did you use to disassemble, recolour and reassemble the game files? I'm just looking to change some texture colours, nothing too crazy hopefully.

And I'm guessing the Mask, Body and First Person View are all different files too?
