About importing TCv4 uber armors
« on: October 06, 2011, 03:12:55 PM »
TCv4 uber armors are amazing, but they are not so easy to be imported, because TCv4 are using different models and animations, so those armors cannot capable with original models if we donnot replace them with TCv4 ones.

the very first step would be adding entries into the items.txt table, just copy everything from TCv4 table and do not haste to save it, the column "inventory wardrobe" need to be changed according to what you add within table wardrobe.txt.

then, go to table wardrobe.txt, accroding to tcv4 table, add entries for the uber armors. and attention please, there is a mistake within tcv4 table on the hunter's tech_uber gloves, they are directed to "arcane_heavy" ones, you can just correct it ;)

two more tables to go: wardrobe_models.txt and wardrobe_texturesets.txt, just do the same thing: copy everything related to the uber armors from tcv4 tables and add new entries into them.

then go back to table items.txt, direct every uber armor entry's "inventory wardrobe" column to the related entry id you added into table wardrobe.txt.

there would be a last problem: you must modify one TCv4 version .xml file:"female_3p_appearance.xml.cooked" from directory "data\units\players\animations\female_3p". you should have it uncooked, then open it, you can see line 9 and 10 are:
  <pszSpineSidesTop IsTCv4="true">LatLf</pszSpineSidesTop>
  <pszSpineSidesTop IsTCv4="true">LatRt</pszSpineSidesTop>
remove "IsTCv4="true"" and the blank before them, save the file then have it recooked.

as for the male version, you still need to uncook TCv4 file "male_3p_appearance.xml.cooked", but just recook it would be fine, donot need to modify any text within it.

finnaly, you must pack the whole tcv4 inventory "data\units\players\" into your mod package, remember to have "female_3p_appearance.xml.cooked" and "male_3p_appearance.xml.cooked" replaced with the ones you just modified, then install and you can get those terrefic armors in SP game.

pictures time! also the modified "female_3p_appearance.xml.cooked" below. and, just remember, this mod would be large... :)

Those armors look very cool  8), Great job! Did you manage to find the powered armor ("The Lightening") that was used in the original Ploughyard quest? I seem to remember someone (Berit?) was going to import it into SP but not sure it happened.
