Since I wrote this thing, I thought I'd post it here too:

For doing this, you need an original .ase file from PT (quite a few are around in private server files), a 3d-modelling program and Notepad.
Having something to import the .ase to your modelling program helps quite a lot too. (like 3dwin5)

For this example, I made a plane (4 vertexes and 2 faces) and added a texture to it

and exported it as an .ase:

the part you need from this is bolded

Next open an original .ase file, I'm using salamander armor file for fighter (tmbB14_p.ase, can be found in many private server files)

Adding a new submaterial:

the start of the original .ase looks like this:

to add a new submaterial, copy one of the existing materials and paste it after the last one

change the *NUMSUBMTLS according to the numbers of submaterials you now have

Assigning the material to a geomobject:



this object only has 2 faces, so it's like this:

change the *MESH_MTLID to the number of the submaterial (to 15 in this case)

Assigning vertexes to a bone:

this object only has 4 vertexes, so it's easy to do. I'll be assigning them to the head bone ("Bip01 Head")
change the end of the geomobject data to this


So.. That's it.

now the geomobject looks like this:

copypaste it to the original .ase
If, like me, you don't know what/where determines which geomobject will be shown ingame, you need to change the names in

to names that are already used in the armor file. If you find out where you can determine what geomobjects are shown, please tell me too

Ok, so now we just put it ingame
Put the file in the armor folder (or monster folder if you're changing a monster, of course)
if you're using tmbB14_p.ase, you need to remove the "_p" from the name, be sure to back up the file tmbB14.smd

launch the game and it should look like this (the thing on top of his head):

Don't mind the random textures in the other parts of the armor and in the background I've been doing horrible things to my item files for so long that the game is starting to look like crap lol...

If it crashes, you did something wrong. If you want it to work, be careful not to make any mistakes

Hope this is of some help to some of you
Please correct me if I made a mistake writing it, and feel free to ask if you don't understand some part of it.

Hi all, I've got a problem when using this tut. I followed exactly your guide with the same file.ASE but i can't see the armor in game (only the head xD). Have I to put the space in the note pad before the lines or is it useless?

Plz help me

 

[Specialisti]

You're using tmbB14_p.ase, right? did you remember to rename it to tmbB14.ase?
If that's not the reason, please upload the .ase and I'll try to find out what's wrong with it

It should look like this:

Also, note that if you want the geomobject you made to appear in salamander armor, you need to name it with a 19 instead of a 18 in the name. (the geomobjects with 18 in their name are for doom armor)

cheers

Finally it works, thanks a lot :kisss:

 

[Mortub]

Anyone knows at which armor does the MmbA16.ASE (knights) match?

 

[dark9011]

Anyone think they can help me out?

I've tried to make a new weapon recently, but when I export, and etc,

and get in-game to try it out.. my weapons blade is splitting from the hilt, and it's wayyyyy out of place.

Anyone have any suggestions?

add to MSN: darkshadow9081@msn.com
only if you know my problem, or think you can help fix it.

 

[Mortub]

Try to attach the two parts of your sword (select one of the object in edit mesh, click attach then select the other part) and reajust the pivot.

 

[dark9011]

I've discovered the fix on my own, thanks.

but, I still have the problem to where my sword is the wrong way, no matter which way I change it!

Any solutions?

 

[Mortub]

Try to rotate the object in hierarchy, not the pivot.

 

[swezid]

Short sword is a 1 handed weapon. The weapon you are holding seems to be a 2 haneded weapon. Try to replace the 2 haneded skin with Long Sword or something like that, which is a 2 handed weapon. I think that will work.
A friend of mine had the same problem as you have. He had replaced a 1 haneded weapon with a weapon he build himself which was a 2 handed weapon, he said. I told him to replace it with a 2 haneded weapon, he did and it worked for him.
Good Luck!!
