[DT] Mikitten All Ears

SE for the models and textures that were edited in the first place.
chaotixfox for the original Mikitten Ear mods and models.
Yuria for the 2K Face Diffuse Resource Smooth bases used in the texture based ear flap remover options.

Item based alternative to Mikitten Too (https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/84707) featuring a bunch of new colors. Unlike previous Mikitten mods, these are only on itmes rather than mashups with tails or hair. As such, they are not compatible with Mikitten Too. They are intended for use with vanilla tails and modded tails that do not have ears included.

The Werewolf Head version will work out of the box with no ear flap hiders needed but will monopolize your head slot. Will hide ears on vanilla hair but will not always hide the fur around the ears. Earless hair still heavily recommended.

The Emperor's New Earrings version requires ear flap removers, provided in this download as an optional install, and earless hair but will only cost you your earring slot.

If you want to use vanilla hair I recommend this mod: https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/112832. The ears are fit over vanilla hair holes but may not sit perfectly on every style.

If you're looking for 7.0 or 7.1 ear flap removers I recommend this mod: https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/124039

Options include:
Primary Hair Color - This is the way all of the previous Mikitten mods color and is here for the sake of of this being a standalone modpack.
Highlight Color
Dark - Intended to match the darker colored tip on miqo'te tail 2. Sort of fills in for the black ears present on certain male miqo'te hairs but it will not be quite as dark.
Split Dye - Primary hair color is on the right ear (left facing viewer), highlight color is on the left ear (right facing viewer). This arrangement is the default due to the fact I grabbed a couple public hair mods from Lynn and Major Praline and both had this set up. I assume this is the common arrangement for split dye hair but I cannot say for certain without testing the hairs of multiple modders.
Split Dye Inverse - Primary hair color is on the left ear (right facing viewer), highlight color is on the right ear (left facing viewer).
Dyeable (Shown) - WARNING! THIS OPTION DOES NOT WORK RIGHT! The colors are too dark, they are completely matte, they accept no specular. This option only remains for people who want black ears darker than the dark option.

Options with highlight colors must have highlights enabled or the color will not show.

Known issues:
New Style: Hair that is fit close to the head will reveal a messy texture at the base of the ears. Small amounts of clipping.
Old Style: Ears "float" or have gaps at the bottom with tighter hairstyles due to their positioning. Clipping may occur.

I currently do not plan to combine these with tails because I don't want to add four new options to each of the dozens of tail options I've already done.

Please reach out if you find any errors. I do check bug reports from time to time.

Permissions:
• Do not reupload, rehost, or claim my mods as your own. Obviously, sending a file to your friend is fine.
• Mikitten mashups, accessories, edits, etc are never to be monetized in ANY form. This includes $0 Ko-Fi/Payhip/etc listings (set them to free), Patreon/Ko-fi/etc early access, flat out paywalling, and so on. This rule is to keep with the spirit of chaotixfox's intentions.
• Mikitten mods are not to be repackaged, resold, or scavenged for assets for your paid commissions. Being directly commissioned for a mashup, accessory, edit, etc is fine.
• Private edits are fine.
• Do not port these to any kind of NSFW compatible child heads. No NSFW lalafell or child stuff in general.
• If you wish to use these ears for a public release please give me a heads up of what you're making and where it's hosted. This is not a hard rule that I have any intention of enforcing, it'd just be nice.
• Please credit me and link back to the main Miktten Too or Mikitten All Ears pages for any public releases. If your edit or accessory is somehow specific to one of the tail mashups, you may link to that page instead.
• For tail mashups, respect the permissions of the tail creators.
