Feature Request - DAT swapping

[Hokuten85]

I'm still super horrible at c++, but I borrowed a bunch of code from XiPivot and hacked it together with xiloader and managed to build an incredibly ugly abomination of the two, but it mostly works as a crude way to swap DATs sooner in the process while using Windower. I was hoping that you awesome folks over here could build out a more elegant/functional solution.

there are addons to do this in ashita (and probably windower) already, just fyi

XiPivot is the addon in Windower, but it doesn't work for DATs that are loaded immediately when the game starts up.
Ashita already handles this really well, so that's all covered. I was just wondering if we could do something to provide a better solution for Windower users.

I see.

I wouldn't mind it, but I can't speak for if a pr adding the feature is desired or not, how it should/should not work, and I don't think it'd be a priority since it falls squarely into custom.

About the ashita addon: there are a few edge cases I know of that sound like the same problem you describe. Amelila's HD dats and Ru'aun gardens? some of those textures don't load in time.
