About this mod

This mod adds Luigi as a new Skin for Robin. Has some Gameplay issues because I edited the Bones to have proportions. Hopefully can be fixed in the future.

Permissions and credits
DESCRIPTION:

This was made as a companion mod to my Mario over Batman Skin mod, however that mod is not required.

Luigi's model is from Super Mario Odyssey but with various edits to better fit Arkham Knight's Artstyle like utilizing the game's "Micro Bump Map" feature to have more detailed Fabric and Skin Textures.
However the original model had a lower Polygon Count compared to Mario so I used parts of that model to improve Luigi, who is now pretty much on par with the Mario mod.

Luigi has accurate proportions which works surprisingly well during Combat, I didn't notice any issues regarding the Hitboxes. Luigi will visually clip through Objects & Characters during animations but he won't actually clip through anything so don't worry about falling through a Floor or going through a Wall.

Because of how the characters are animated in this game, I had to overhaul Luigi's Eyes & Eyelids to work properly which did result in some wonky movement due to being designed differently. Looks fine for the most part, but it looks awful whenever Luigi is looking off to the side because the Eyelids will also rotate alongside the Eyes. O_o

Luigi can not remove his Cap as the animations where Robin removes his Mask just did not work for Luigi. It looked awful so I decided to not do it.

I have no plans to make this mod for any of the other Batman: Arkham games, feel free to backport it yourself but please Credit me if you release it.
Preferably with a Credits.txt similar to the one that's included in this mod.



INSTALLING THE MOD:

Place the "Luigi" folder inside any numbered folder located in "SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Knight\DLC\"
I recommend "418930" (Dark Knight 2008 Skin) because it's the last one which means the files will be loaded after everything else. Useful info if making a mod that replaces a file instead of adding a new one.
That's it, Mario should appear alongside the rest of the Skins in the Showcase Menu.

If you don't have any of the DLCs, recreating the folder path might work? It worked for me but that could be because I already own all of them. I just know that you can't simply add a new DLC folder, it has to use one of the official names.



KNOWN ISSUES:
Known Issues #1 & #2: In order to keep his proportions, Luigi's Bones have been edited to be in different positions. For the most part this works flawlessly but occasionally the Bones will revert back to their original positions, basically making Luigi become "Robin-Sized"
It's pretty rare thanks to Robin only being in a small part of the game, but it needed to be mentioned.
While not all of the time, Luigi will sometimes go "Robin-Sized" when ragdolling. Seems to happen more often when killed by bullets, seen in the Picture with "Known Issue #2"
