Note that these graphic files are FLAT, so don’t expect easy matching (look for matching colour schemes and features). It is necessary to keep the path name as short as possible due to a bug in pakpack.exe that occasionally screws up with long filenames (I even rename “dn-costumes-tools” to “d” just to be safe).2) Copy Resource00.pak, Resource01.pak, Resource02.pak and Resource03.pak from your Dragon Dest install folder to the “dn-costumes-tools” folder (e.g.īy being able to visually preview.dds files, you can quickly match your in-game costume with its associated graphics files (and consequently.skn files).

Please let me know regardless and I’ll remove them from the costume pack downloads (until a workaround is found).Creating custom costume mods (advanced!)DNCostumeRenamer is a small program I wrote to automate the renaming for costume.skn files. I also do not have any wings or hats so I cannot test modding for those two parts (if you’re feeling generous though, feel free to mail some to Majestyca on the Argenta server of DN-NA). If you want to replace the graphics of your current in-game costume, you will have to modify and re-run the scripts in “dn-costumes-tools.zip” to recreate all the mods for your specific costume.skn files.
I’m sure in the future more costumes will be available in-game and you will want to wear those instead (for the bonus stats).
Some hair mods are available and can be requested though.How can I mod my current costume?As of the moment, these packs only provide graphic replacements for the weapons, default costumes, a few costumes in the DN-NA cash shop, the R2G hat, the Loyal Dragon Wings and the White Cupid Wings.

Standard hypermiling techniques include accelerating and decelerating slowly, following the speed limit, and avoiding busy roads.īut is there anything else you can do to put your gas guzzler on a diet? Thousands of mods on the market promise to do just that. For example, consider hypermiling, a driving method for maximally increasing your vehicle's energy efficiency. Therefore, it's no surprise that many people take steps to increase their fuel efficiency.
It's a given that drivers have other expenses in their lives than just filling their cars with gas, and so, every dollar that we can free up from the fuel pump is one we can spend elsewhere (yes, we know guacamole is extra). That's why we've updated this list to include more bogus ways of saving fuel and some additional mods that actually work.

These prices are still a heck of a lot better than the highest recorded average of $4.11 per gallon back in 2008, but it's still a plenty big chunk of change. According to AAA, the national average price is $2.52 per gallon, with Texas and South Carolina residents having the cheapest gas at only $2.28 per gallon (sorry, Hawaii-you have to pay the highest at $3.50 per gallon).
Unless you're a regular on the Forbes list of the world's billionaires, the chances are that, at some point, you've been concerned about the cost of putting gas in your car.
