Is it possible to add new outfits without info from the IFF?

[mikumiku]

I don't really care about playing the new courses and modes in United and Tomahawk; I just want to play around with the outfits.

Would it be possible to add new outfits to the pserver IFF without first obtaining information from the official IFF? For example, I just want to get the Combat sets for now.

I dare say "no" here, while it is possible you probably want at least two values from the IFF - the ID and the posmask.

You don't need them per se, if you're fat on time you can try to calculate new, matching values. However from a purely practical point of view I would advise against that.

How is it that hontoshadow is in the process of creating a Pangya Tomahawk private server, and we're still stuck with IFFs from 4.9?

Because hontoshadow is building/improving their emulator while you're stuck with the S4.9 official server, thus requiring to use a matching S4.9 client.

That means you have to decrypt and backport all entries in IFF files (thus requiring you to understand what each byte does in the file) to make them work in the legacy S4.9 client.

This mumbo-jumbo does not apply if you cater to a current client - which won't talk to your S4.9 server, though.
