Shawls for females

Recommended Posts

Currently, the items under cloth_a_11 that appear as shawls, are invisible for females. They only apply on males. Its easily obtained via patching using the male texture, but nobody really likes people having a patch others can't see.  

If this was changed, there could be even *more* of a variety of armor to choose from. ie, human female has demon hunter chest piece textures, even some of the vrykul tattoos. 

My suggestion is simply making them appear for females, thats all.

The cloth_a_11 items are governed by simple logic. Blizzard only made a item/texturecomponents/torsouppertexture/cloth_a_11darkgray_chest_tu_m.blp file, no counterparty _f.blp file, and then set up ComponentTextureFileData.db2 so that if a displayid refers to the textures, only the _m texture is loaded and only rendered on males.

Easy solution would be to change the GenderIndex for those files to 3 so that they're unisex.

Same story for the tatooos, really. Textures just mold to a character model and don't have any complexity.

Now that you're tampering with the ComponentTextureFileData files, you can go further and generate new displayids so that you disassociate the demon hunter chest textures with the demon hunter class, allowing them to use the normal class variant, and everyone else to use the demon hunter class variant.

For that, you'd have to create a new texture id. You take the ComponentTextureFileData entries with ClassIndex to 12, give them new textureIDs, and map the Demon Hunter texture fileids to those new textureIDs in TextureFileData.db2 too. You then create a new displayid referring to those textures which you could achieve just by copying all of the displayids that had the non Demon Hunter textureids and making them use the new textureids.

Still not satisfied? You could go and do them to the ComponentModelFileData ones as well - the demon hunter and non demon hunter helmet variants.

And if you're still interested in breaking the system open, why not let males wear female textures and females wear male textures? Actually, maybe don't go that far.

Why not have 80 night elf males running around start in the female valentines day dresses? ?

Jokes aside, thank you for your explanation. I hope these are added in a future update/bfa update.
