Adding Armor

This has been bugging me for a while, it seems I just can't figure out how to add new armor... Here's what I did:
I took the military rank 9 Arcane Robe, which has this folder - 19品法袍上衣, looked inside it and there's just some skin files and the texture inside, so I copied the folder and named it to 20品法袍上衣 (placed it in the same place as the original one), did a little bit of .dds editting, made a new item in elements and kept the same .ecm that the original robe uses, since there isn't much in there except for some texture of what looks like part of a shirt or something, changed the surface from 19品法袍上衣.dds to 20品法袍上衣.dds since I'm guessing that it has to point to the folder where the textures are stored, andddd... nothing! It doesn't show up at all. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks :lol:

Re: Adding Armor

Alright, so what do I do? I don't understand what it's for lol, since like I said, the texture for the .ecm file is very unclear and looks like part of a shirt with no resemblance to the real robe.

As you can see it has paths to specific places, the texture filename itself is stored in the ski file though (you can either fix that with the blender python script OR hexedit fix it) and if you copy the directory containing a model for something to a different location you have to update all of the paths in the ecm to point to the correct location or they don't work, eg are invisible or if it was a copy just shows the old one

Re: Adding Armor

Hey, im not sure if i got it right... But for me it seems like u having error with adding new armor.
Well... models\players\装备 include 2 folder. Female and Male.
U need to create a folder in both of them.
For example u call them:

19品重甲上衣

Inside are .ski files and the textures.

They are called:

妖兽19品重甲上衣一级
妖兽19品重甲上衣三级
妖兽19品重甲上衣二级
...

So now on how to add them to use for ingame...
Well the elements.data (Equipments List) contains under the Name a Line where u add the Model.
You dont add the Path. You just add the Name of the Folder :)
For example (basic stupid example):

1.ID : 99999
2.Large Classification: 99999
3.Small Classification: 99998
4.Name: Stupid Example
5.Foldername: 19品重甲上衣

Im sorry if i understand your post wrong :*:
And im happy if i didnt ;)

Re: Adding Armor

Re: Adding Armor

No its the folder name :)
Because u see it in different folders.
Compare them :)
Because many of the folders has more then 2 ski files with same start name but other end name :) But maybe im wrong. If im wrong im sorry :(

Re: Adding Armor

Hey Eistiger, you may be right but I believe I've already done that (well except for making 2 folders for male/female since I'm only testing on a male char and I don't have the patience to wait 50 hours till models.pck is done repacking again :lol:) Here's a picture of what it looks like in sELedit so it'll be a little more clearer:

Spoiler:

Should be working right? I'm guessing that there's something wrong with one of the files (the skins or .ecm)

@Romulan: Wow, that might be it actually since I just found out that I forgot to change the names of the .ski files from 19... to 20...
I'll check it out.

EDIT: Yep that was it! Thanks Romulan!
