Need Help Understanding K1 Apperence 2da.

:lol: The worst you could end up with is that mess I posted earlier.

Well...actually...the game will crash if there's nothing under the appearance.2da entry--it can't find the right card, so it gets confused and folds.

Thats basically what I suggested just..a little more detailed....I had never actually tried that so I didnt know if it did anything...but..yeah unless u dont put anything in the rows.....then it wont "crash"...

Now how would I get the item in game?

[JCarter426]

Item?

[Lordjedi]

????
What do you mean item. I need the Republic Solider armor to be wearable by the PC.

[JCarter426]

Oh...that again!

All right. I never found out how to do that. But what I did figure out how to do was just change a character's basic clothing to the Republic armor. Just copy a Republic soldier's entries and paste it into modelb and textureb. As I said, it's a lot easier than I thought it'd be.

You can do it for other things too--for example, I have Carth's modelc and texturec entries set as Republic officer, so when he wears light armor, he's in his Republic uniform.


But if you want to make it so that a particular item uses the Republic armor's model and texture...I got no clue. Let me know if you find out!

[JCarter426]

I think I figured it out. "Think" being the opperative word.

OK, each armor has a body variation and texture variation number. The body variation decides which entry in the appearance.2da to use--for example, Jedi Robes are body variation 9--so it uses the modelI entry. If you change the modelI entry to something else, then you can get it to use a different model.

So your new item should use the same body variation that you changed. The trick is to use a body variation that you're not going to use for anything else.

Do you know anyway that I could use the armor to replace the Combat Suit?

[DLX [DarkLordXana]]

well....it would be.....but it would be the default clothing...not a separate item...

[Lordjedi]

Archer already did the defualt clothing so I want it to replace the combat suit.
