Hello there, I found a cool Pursuer armor mod for DS3 and I would like to port it to DS2 to cosplay as a Pursuer, and perhaps if the port is good post it on NexusMods.
I have some experience with DSMap, enough to actually make ingame data for the armor, but I don't know how to convert the DCX files in files readable by DS2. I tried using Yabber, but I didn't understand how to do it properly, can someone help me?
The texture as I said is already there, I just have to convert it

Yabber and Yapped are outdated and no longer supported. Please instead use WitchyBND and Dark Souls Map Studio, respectively.
Copy an appropriate dcx folder from ds2
That is similiar to what you want in the game in terms of file location and type
Unpack with witchy
Unpack the thing you are porting with witchy
Follow the export settings guide on the souls modding wiki for the textures and export them for ds2
Put them in the unpacked ds2 folder, get rid of the stuff that isn’t needed. Change the WitchyBND xml to include those new files.
Repack
Change the references in the materials/textures section in flver editor of the model appropriately to reference the new textures
Save and done
Dan’s isn’t used for any of this unless you are adding a completely new armor and not replacing

There are some differences in the unpacked files. In DS2 for example models have 2 "versions"
I wanted to replace the Steel Set in DS2 with this Pursuer Set from DS3, I unpacked both
The unpacked DS3 partsbnd has 3 files, the XML, the FLVER and the TPF
And that's fine
But the unpacked DS2 model is different
Inside there are the XML, the FLV, three TPF files and an ACB file. Which stuff "isn't needed" and which is needed?
