Just interesting, maybe it will be easiers to swap xmls not gr2 files. I mean if i change model/texture location to gear i need to swapZeroGravitas wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 10:41 pm What I do in such cases — and there could be more efficient ways to go at it, sorry, I'm a novice— is:
• First I search for the item at https://swtor.jedipedia.net/ (say, https://swtor.jedipedia.net/en/search?q ... er&patch=0 ) and get some results.
• In the actual item's page: https://swtor.jedipedia.net/en/itm/batt ... elmet-mk-2 I can see in the Appearance box a reference to [ModelId] => 1000176. What I do then is use my PC (a Mac, actually) desktop's indexed search to look for any of the game's XML files that contains that 1000176 number.
• In this case, I'm finding this file at extracted_swtor/resources/art/dynamic/face/index.xml. I open it with a text editor and search inside for that number, finding it in a section of the file that goes like this:
You can see that the base file of the item is /art/dynamic/face/model/face_trhelmet02_[bt]_archetype.gr2Code: Select all
<Asset> <ID>1000176</ID> <ArtName>face_trhelmet02_heavy_tr_a02</ArtName> <DesignerName>face trhelmet02 heavy tr a02</DesignerName> <BaseFile>/art/dynamic/face/model/face_trhelmet02_[bt]_archetype.gr2</BaseFile> <Attachments> <Attachment id="1001554" name="face_trhelmet02_bt_heavy_tr_a02_back" filename="/art/dynamic/face/model/face_trhelmet02_[bt]_heavy_tr_a02_back.gr2" /> </Attachments> <Materials> <Material id="1001542" name="face_trhelmet02_heavy_tr_a02c02_u" filename="/art/shaders/materials/face_trhelmet02_heavy_tr_a02c02_u.mat"> <ColorSchemes> <ColorScheme guid="1002489" /> <ColorScheme guid="1002487" /> <ColorScheme guid="1002488" /> <ColorScheme guid="1375793" /> <ColorScheme guid="1375794" /> <ColorScheme guid="1375795" /> <ColorScheme guid="1375796" /> <ColorScheme guid="1402653" /> <ColorScheme guid="1402654" /> <ColorScheme guid="1402655" /> <ColorScheme guid="1402656" /> <ColorScheme guid="1402657" /> <ColorScheme guid="1402659" /> <ColorScheme guid="1375788" /> </ColorSchemes> <MaterialOverrides /> </Material> </Materials> <Bodytypes> <Bodytype>bfa</Bodytype> <Bodytype>bfb</Bodytype> <Bodytype>bfn</Bodytype> <Bodytype>bfs</Bodytype> <Bodytype>bma</Bodytype> <Bodytype>bmf</Bodytype> <Bodytype>bmn</Bodytype> <Bodytype>bms</Bodytype> </Bodytypes> <SkinMaterialIndex>-1</SkinMaterialIndex> <SkinHueIndex>-1</SkinHueIndex> <Filters> <Filter name="Style" value="heavy" /> <Filter name="Class" value="tr" /> </Filters> <Identities /> <Tags /> <CustomData /> </Asset>
That [bt] part ought to be substituted by the body type the item you want is meant for (bma, bmn, bfn, etc.).
It says too that there is an attachment object that completes it, and its filename:
<Attachment id="1001554" name="face_trhelmet02_bt_heavy_tr_a02_back" filename="/art/dynamic/face/model/face_trhelmet02_[bt]_heavy_tr_a02_back.gr2" />
• With those filenames in hand you can do another indexed search to get to them quickly (Windows and macOS' desktop search is a godsend for these things). And you can see how there are references to material description and texture files that point at the textures meant to be used for the item.
By the way, If there are smarter ways to do this, I'd like to knowI would also like to know how to get Noesis to autoload all those elements by itself: I never managed to make that work.
That would solve everything.
but at least you would wear the suit.
