This is completely possible and won't get you banned since it doesn't actually change anything except for you what you see on your screen. Give me a moment and I'll edit this post with a link to the topic with the guide.

Credit: Morghana from http://www.tartarus-files.com/forum/So i was browsing ragezone last night and came across alpha's code editor, and i played around with some GCMDS files. Here's what i did:
From this gray shadow:
Converted to the black shadow:
(click on thumbnail to see larger picture, i didn't want to screw up the screen for those using 1024*768 res)Compare the inventory and the actual char in the second and third pictures. I personally like the silver trophy
What do u guys think?
EDIT: Added guide to first post
Oki, here goes.
First you need 2 programs:
1) Irfanview - to view your DDS (texture) files. Download and install the plugins as well.
http://www.irfanview.com/2) Alpha's ryl coder (filefront link). Just unzip the folder and go to
\bin\debug\rylcoder.exehttp://forum.ragezone.com/f283/release- ... yl-220076/http://files.filefront.com/rylCoder+27+ ... einfo.html(hillover has some problems using it, and i've not figured it out yet, i don't think i could. but maybe good ol pavy can help with this if you're facing the same prob)Once you've got both programs installed, go to the directory of where you installed RYL Tartarus.
Find these files (whichever relevant to what you want to edit):
1) Akkan combatant -
\Program Files\RYL Tartarus\Client\character\data\pc_akhan_a.gcmds2) Akkan ofc -
\Program Files\RYL Tartarus\Client\character\data\pc_akhan_b.gcmds3) Human male -
\Program Files\RYL Tartarus\Client\character\data\pc_man.gcmds4) Human female -
\Program Files\RYL Tartarus\Client\character\data\pc_woman.gcmdsNext, go to the directory
\Program Files\RYL Tartarus\Client\character\data\texture\ and open your
*.dds files with Irfanview.
Find the texture of the current equipment you're using. E.G.:
I was using 110dex arm, which is file b_a_05c.dds
Next, find the desired skin that you wish to use. E.G.:
I wanted the 250dex arm skin, which is b_a_08.dds
BACKUP THE GCMDS FILE THAT YOU WANT TO EDITThen, open your corresponding GCMDS file (e.g. edit officiator, open pc_akhan_b.gcmds)
Find the name of the desired texture file want to change to. E.G.:
(Image no longer exists)
Highlight and copy under the name of the skin. E.G.:
Find the filename of the current texture you're using. E.G.:
Replace the script under the name of the current texture. E.G.:
Save your GCMDS file.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALREADY MADE A BACKUP OF THE ORIGINAL!(Image no longer exists)
Close the RYL coder. Start RYL2 Server to see if there are any changes.
This is how I did it. If you still don't see any changes, try to check if there are any wrong steps. This guide might not be 100% correct as I'm still experimenting with it myself, so if you have any improvements, please do notify.
Also, if you got it right, please post here to show us what you've done, it would be a great contribution 
Thank you!
