newb question regarding custom clothing

[testmon]

hello,

so a DM told me yesterday that s/he would implement custom clothing for my character if i made it with the toolset. i opened it and the basics where rather simple to change but there is something i couldn't figure out that easily and i guess asking is the fastest solution:

so here's whats happened, i wanted to change..i think cloth_17 was it...assasins clothes, now to my surprise there is a difference between those clothes in the orginal module and the JEG's module (what i think is basically the BG module for testing) namely that in the original the (females) clothes have a pattern on chest and back as well as differently coloured sleeves, whats both things i could not find how to change in either of the two modules.

so i wonder where and how i can do that (probably have to change the file where this is saved?) and actually more important, will those changes be taken over to the game or is it pointless to change these with intention of usage in BGtSCC?


thanks for answers

The "assassin" garb in the items list is style 6. Somewhere in our HAKs is a re-worked female style 6 *dds (image) file that is overriding the stock 6 with the flowery patern on it. Finding and fixing this is buried in my to-do list. This alternate can unfortunatelly result in hideous color combinations and always boring bodice.

so you tell me i went straight for the one thats bugged? kind of amusing^^

but so my question still kind of stands, can i from my side change those things and get them implemented for my char (according to what the DM offered) or would that change everyones, thus reducing me to simple colour changes in the borders of what the toolset offers?

Nope. The core file is being overriden by a variant file in a BG HAK. It is either the model or one of 2 "skin" files. Low priority though not forgotten.

How can one get custom clothing to start with..?

After about 1.5 hours of tinkering and searching, I found the offending skin files in bg_items_pack2.hak. Human female models 7 & 8 are also in the HAK though they both appear to be stock files.

Any reason why I should not remove those files from the HAK to restore the full stock appearances?

You can do that by adding our item haks to your module, save it, then reload it.
And you will be able to see all our hak based clothing and weapons.
