MagnaGuard Cape

How do I give the Magnaguard a cape? Wondering for my mod map, which I want to have a good MG for, and I already think I know how to make a good magnastaff.
So anyone know?

First off you need the BFI assets so you can get a hold of the cape msh (unless someone uploads it for you). Put the msh in your side then add the below line (id also sugest scaleing the msh down 0.95)
AnimatedAddon = "CAPE"
GeometryAddon = "cis_inf_countdooku_cape"
AddonAttachJoint = "bone_ribcage"
Just note though, the cape isnt animated, itll be stiff.

I don't care if it's stiff. How do I scale the mesh though?
Thanks, Syth!

Where exactly in the BF1 assets is the cape file? Is it 'cis_inf_countdooku_cape'?

Okay, and here's my new problem: I recently had to re-do my entire CIS custom side because I couldn't change the cape's color for the guards without changing dooku's.
Is there a way I can change the cape's color without it affecting Count Dooku???

Hmm... I believe that you could copy the msh's and tga's for Dooku, rename them to something like "cis_inf_magnacape", and hex-edit the msh's, replacing all instances of "cis_inf_countdooku" with "cis_inf_magnacape".

I tried it didn't work...

Ah well. I guess Dooku's cape must be a different msh or something, but I don't know.

It should work, youre actually useing a hex editor program right? If it isnt working for you use vaders cape, its pretty much the same thing.

Well, Pspad doesn't work for me, WinHex doesn't and for some reason the 'Open program with...' thing doesn't allow me to select xvi32, it only allows me to use NotePad.

Choose browse and find the .exe of the program you want to use.
