Can You make Tracer too? plz!!

@JohnFromGWN Thanks for the help! I didn't know it was that easy to duplicate addon peds by simply renaming their main files and folder =)

@DJ-LEXX Glad to hear it. You can also mix and match textures (hair colours for example) and have a wide variety of customizations from one model. I know have 4 different Lara models based on the original.

@JohnFromGWN You can edit the ymt file to add as much as model and texture you want to each slot. So instead of having 4 different variations of the same ped you can simply use the menyoo to change the clothing to anything you want <3

@DJ-LEXX Forgot to mention you. Check the above message <3

I can't wait for the New Style by the by :/

@Aurora11 Thanks. Are you using the Meta Toolkit to edit .ymt?

@JohnFromGWN No I'm just using Notepad++. I know what to edit and change though so it's easy for me, but a bit time consuming depending on how many changes I want to make. Some ymts though are problematic and when I edit them it's either crashing the game or removing high heel height. Haven't figured it out yet :/

@Aurora11 Hi. I'm confused.You need to unlock the .ymt because it's not a text file. CodeWalker RPF and MetaTools will create editable xml files. BTW, i've looked at some postings on this topic and might create a tutorial because the ones I found were incomplete or just too confusing. There was one post however where the author said you can't do this - because it needs to be linked back to the original model or it will cause a crash on randomization. That's not an issue for me because I only spawn in C# with all components scripted and valid.

@JohnFromGWN The way I do is, I'm opening CodeWalker RPF Explorer, then navigating to the ped's .ymt file. and right clicking on it, selecting Export XML. Then I'm just doing the changes I want and right clicking in CodeWalker again and selecting Import XML.

A note though, sometimes (I have seen this in alex189's peds all the time), some numbers are getting scrambled, like the first set of numbers at the top of the XML that determining which slot is used and which slot not. If you are seeing numbers like "0 1 2 3 255 4 5 6 255 255 7 8...." it means the ymt got exported properly. However if you are seeing random numbers and letters it means those numbers are scrambled. Then you just need to import the XML back and then export it again. After that you will see the numbers as "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0...". Then you just need to modify these to determine which slot is used and which is not.

and I haven't had any issues with doing this in alex189's peds. However some peds I have encountered crashes and not sure why it's crashing. Also I guess while exporting and saving CodeWalker doing something bad or missing something and removing the high heel data from the XML. Like thebegin10's peds, whenever I export/import them or save inside the CodeWalker without exporting, the high heel data always getting lost :/

@Aurora11 Thanks again for very useful feedback. This is something you need to do rested as the slightest mistake will cause an error or worst case hang the system. :) BTW, funny you would mention issues with the import process with CW RPF, one poster said the meta tools were crap.

@JohnFromGWN Thank you very much to you too as well nicey friend :) <3 and definetly must be done while rested, because the stuff inside the xml is too crowded and very intimidating. Using notepad++ to hide the other columns and only show the column you are editing helps a ton at the beginnings, which I'm still using it because it makes things a million times easier :) <3

I still haven't tested meta tools. Do you know by any chance can meta tools export and import the xml files properly? and also the file is being ymt at the beginning, can it open or convert that file as well? Sorry I have never heard of meta tools before so haha :D

@Aurora11 Not enough experience with Meta to comment.

One thing I did in the text editor - I had a ped with 6 items, so I removed all the tags for the other 5 items. This allowed me to clearly see the structure - 2 drawables, 1 with 2 texture variations, the other with 3 texture variations.

@JohnFromGWN Thank you very very much :) I will take a look at this and I hope it fixes the issues I was having with some peds' ymts :) <3

I found an bug where the first leg were invisible. Messes around OpenIV and found out that lowr_000 yft and ytd had labeled it's internal assets and embedded texture as lowr_004

The other 3 lower part is fine, preview is fine too as im able to preview it using OpenIV

And no, i don't have and can afford Zmodeler so if it's possible, renaming the internal assets should do the trick i think. CMIIW

Huh, i solved it by renaming both the dds and ytd name from 000 to lowr_diff_004. Hadn't tried it out

@offpurple +1

@alex189 i subbed to patreon and got nothing...

ignore that

@PCUserguy Thanks! sorry for the inconvenience.

I have the ped in my server as an addon and everything works fine besides when I change the hair it shows but seems to not have working textures. It is pitch black and will change to white and pink at points. Is there an easy fix for this?
