Customizing parts of armor via mono behaviour files - assistance needed

[Yhekal]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to customize the appearance of armors via mono behaviour files? I must say I am stuck at the moment...

I tried to change the main body part/torso of padded armor  and swapping it with chainmail main body part/torso.
I changed the "MeshName" (to M_HUM_MA05_Body) as well as "m_PathID". But nothing happens...
I tested and even with whole "SubMeshSettings" section of below file deleted, the appearance still works... o_O' Why?

The only thing I've noticed is that when you change "ModelSuffix" to something else - for instance from "PA01" to "MA05" - it changes the whole appearance of the armor (not only said main body part/torso)

Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

I also tried to swap 'a_pa01' file (basic padded armor) within items.unity3d with 'a_waidwen' file details (lax2_characters.unity3d). After armor is equipped the character body is invisible...  

I changed "m_Name" to "a_PA01", that seems to not be enough.

Hmm, you could try swapping the models and materials referenced in that in characters.unity3d around see if that changes anything? Maybe that could work?

I dunno though, despite multiple attempts I've never managed to crack editing the contents of assetbundles. Most recently I was trying to swap around some conversation portraits for npcs that use the same portrait. No matter what edits I make to the file paths, nothing changes. I try to understand, but nothing ever changes...
