Attention!

Be advised that you will have to use the 3rd party software "Cheat Engine" in order to use this guide.
Make sure to get it from its official website.

This guide will contain step-by-step instructions for exactly what you have to do. I can assure you that if you do exactly what I say, your game won't break/savefiles won't get corrupted/orcs won't die from ligma.

The author[fearlessrevolution.com] of the cheat table strongly recommends that you backup your save files (I didn't but you should anyway).
You can read about where you can find them here[www.pcgamingwiki.com].

Acquiring the cheat table

If you managed to install Cheat Engine, it's time to get the cheat table. You can download it from here.[fearlessrevolution.com]

In case something happens, I've uploaded it on Google Drive - link[drive.google.com]

Run the game

Run the game and load your save file. You should be able to see Talion. Be nice to him.

Run the .CT file

Double-click on the downloaded cheat table. You will have a Cheat Engine window just like in the screenshot.
If you have the exact list which I've circled in green, you're doing everything alright so far.

If not, make sure you're tried to run the .CT file (which is the cheat table), not Cheat Engine itself.

Select a process to open

Now you have to select the game's process by clicking on the button that I've pointed out

and find the process in the list.

Double-click on it or select it and press "Open".

In the Confirmation menu select "Yes".

After that, check the boxes "Master Script" and "Item Pointer" respectively.

If nothing happens when you check the box "Item Pointer", you have to close and reopen the game and the .CT file.

Magic

In my case, I applied the appearance of Mask of the Undying to Darkest Cloak (they just look the same now).

Now, exactly how I've done it:
1. Select Mask of the Undying. The "Appearance Armor" box value is now "AD_NazgulT1_Cloak_Tint_Nazgul".

AD_NazgulT1_Cloak_Tint_Nazgul - that's the appearance that we want to apply to another item.

2. Select Darkest Cloak. Change the "Appearance Armor" box value to "AD_NazgulT1_Cloak_Tint_Nazgul".
3. ???
4. That's it! It will not be displayed correctly in the menu at first, but all you have to do now is just restart the game.

Can confirm, it works on Windows 11. At first I had the same problem as @Jacket? but after running Cheat Engine as administrator it worked perfectly. Many thanks @1

I just tried to reskin some cloak and it worked for me just fine. Please make sure to open CE as administrator.

Also, I'm on Windows 10 and use the newest version of CE (7.5). I have no clue how it behaves on Win 11.

I know this guide is hella old lol, but does anyone know if this still works? Trying to use it to reskin some other armors as the Blackened Servant's Armor, but I get the following error message when checking the "Item Pointer" box at the end of the "Select a Process to Open" step:

Nearby Allocation Error
This script uses nearby allocation but it is impossible to allocate nearby 14010BF93. Please rewrite the script to function without nearby allocation. Try executing the script anyhow and allocate on a region outside reach of 2GB? (The target will crash if the script was not designed with this failure in mind)
[Yes] [No] [No to all] [Yes to All]

Well ♥♥♥♥, I just messed up my save and had to delete it. For anyone wanting to try this, you MUST backup your save.

not entirely sure, but i suppose if you can dig up the dlc armor in the cheat menu it should work properly since theyd both be the same rig

only reason it might not work is baranors shield, but i dont know if thats part of the armor or an entirely new segment added onto the rig

we know from cheated orcs that you can put dlc things into the vanilla game, that's what those traits with a glitched icon are, they're the mercenary traits from the baranor dlc

i dont know about his gondorian armor, might be there might not, but i think idrill and baranor in the base game use the same rig as the gondor npcs; not too sure about that either though

i couldnt find baranors personal armor in the cheat engine options, so im going off of speculation

Dredd 19 Jul, 2022 @ 4:02am

Understood, dont use npc armor on talion lol, my follow up question is can I use baranors armor then? Or will that corrupt me as well?

retro wave 19 Jul, 2022 @ 3:52am

all but two of the non-player armors crash the game and corrupt your save file, the two that dont just make you a floating sword

i think there might be a third one that just removes talions cape and gives him a military cut, dont remember if it crashes the game or not

either way the npcs' armors are all built for separate rigs, even the gondor npcs, which is why basically all of it just removes talion from visible existence

Since there are no equippable gondor armor, I don't think this is possible

Dredd 19 Jul, 2022 @ 3:09am

Can we like, equip gondor npc armor using this? Would be sick to wear some gondor armor

Sadly, there's a huge price we have to pay for not doing a backups
