Can someone explain to me how I can change or add armor?

First time out of the vault
There are only a few armors in the game, and no customizable pieces like helmets. So I'd like to change some things. First I wanted to do something simple, like change the ugly purple robe to brown like the one your Elder wears. What I did was extract master.dat/art/items/robe.frm then converted to bmp, then drew brown all over it, reconverted to frm and now i'm stuck. I made my own DAT, and injected this one file into it, and is this it? Am I done? Because FAME kept giving me (9) out of memory errors.

Also, I've looked all over and searched this forum countless times but found NO guides/tutorials at all. I'd like to know, step by step, how to create my own items. I'd like to make a trenchcoat if thats possible, and if adding a new item is too complicated then I'll modify an existing armor.
 
Unlike other RPGs like baldur's gate/nwn, item creation isn't simple from what I can see, though I could be mistaken.

I believe that, for armour and weapons, you have to draw - yes, DRAW - each possible frame of animation for each character that could use said item.

So if you wanna have a trenchcoat... you get the idea.

I think it would be easier, but not by much, to just modify a pre-existing item. Say, a robe into a cloak or something.

Btw, I'm a total n00b with editing this game, so I may be mistaken. If so, sorry in advance. I'm concentrating on npcs at the moment.
