Introduction
First of all, ¿What is the Separation Mod?.
The Separation Mod is a mod that allow the user customize the character with skins. Instead of reskin and use the file for a mod, this mod separate every part of the class and allow you to mix with much colours/styles, including works with RNG.
Also, this allow you to download modifed parts from various creators (not only me)

Example:

Separations
Every class will have an different separation of course. In this example, lets us the Skirmisher for this

In this image, you can view colours that separe the Skirmisher parts, lets use this for guide:

Red is for the bandana
Green is for the skin
Pink is for the red belt
Orange is for the pants
Yellow is for his brown belts

Now, you can view the Shirt with plain colours on it, this mean that the part have different Separation on it:

Blue is for the shirt and the skin part on it (In this case, this will be on the back, ¿why?, because you can change the lines to trasparent and make a shirt reskin only)
Cyan is for the Red lines
White is for the White lines



Note: because im stupid, i forget to put an extra colour on it. On the Skirmisher separation, the bandana will have an logo on it, for an extra customization


In Workshop
On the workshop item (made by me), you will find pictures with an logo on it, this logos will make a difference about the model and the reskin parts:




This will help you to know what are you downloading.
Also, in every workshop item description (i will) put an image and put colour on the gray parts for mark what part remplace the Workshop Item.






Now, for making the mod work, every reskin part will need the "Character Separation Mod" for work, for example:




Make sure to NOT DOWNLOAD two same parts and download first the CHARACTER SEPARATION
Making a mod
For making a mod, you obviusly will need use an photo editor, here a list:

-Photoshop (i use this but is not free)
-Gimp (is free)
-Paint.net (is free)

Note: is necesary use an Photo editor that allow TRANSPARENCY and use the same size for this.


For edit parts, you obviusly need a Base, and making one is hard no? well, im a nice person and i will share all the Classes parts here:

-Skirmisher: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f8vKiCwR1-km1Wq1-nIFIuX6LNAK2Amg/view
-Captain: in progress
-Sharpshooter: in progress
-Buccaneer: is not in game
-Berserker: in progress
-Huscarl: in progress
-Gestir: in progress
-Bondi: in progress
-Heavy Knight: in progress
-Archer: in progress
-Man at Arms: in progress
-Assassin: in progress


Note: the files dont need to be renamed, you need to use the names of the Textures for making a reskin work
Questions about the Separation Mod / End of the Guide
Q: ¿How this was made?
A: When i was bored, i made this mod, was very fun, some errors when i made it but is still nice and is new on the workshop (i dont remember view this idea in another workshop...)

Q: ¿This support RNG? and if is yes, ¿WHEN YOU WILL MAKE AN RNG GUIDE?
A: Yes, this support RNG and i planning to make much RNG of parts. And the other, well, i need abit of time to do it, but will be soon, very soon

Q: I not like Skirmisher, ¿Why not an Captain Separation?
A: I know that Skirmisher is abit simple/generic to mods, but this begin as a joke and fun, that turns on a serious mod. Also, another classes are cooming too

Q: ¿Weapon Separation?
A: Is not a bad idea

I really like to give thanks to every person that download my mods, every Developer on PVKII and the person that is reading this guide right now.

This was an very fun mod and i made much fun things, and i think, this can be an advance reskin mod for the PVKII Workshop.

Thanks everyone!
