Trying to make Costumes for the first time, Not working

[coral tusk]

I've never done this before so I have no clue what I am doing wrong, some assistance would be appreciated. I don't know where to look for errors so I don't have any. The only guide I followed was the "Adding a New Outfit" part of the mod page and some other page about model swapping UE games. I can't find the link to it.

Costume Framework needs a video tutorial fr

I should mention, My end goal is to make costumes for every member of S.E.E.S to match their Title Screen "outfit", I did this with P5R ages ago and I wanted to do it again for P3R :3

you can search other posts related to costumes in #1045454567111925780 , ercar in particular has probably posted a guide via replies in one of them lol

a cf guide would be nice but the creator of costume framework doesn't actually know how to make costumes

Rename the skeleton to the same as it is in Fmodel, and move it to the same location (xrd777/chareter/ch000x/model something) and don't include it in the chunk when you package

[coral tusk]

So only rename the 3 skeletons and thats it?

I also looked at another post and changed the structure

[coral tusk]

Also I'm not sure if i've been packaging these correctly. I've been assuming it's related to the build button up top but I have no clue

[coral tusk]

Nvm I figured this part out 💀

still have no clue what im supposed to do with these tho 🧍‍♀️

[oak solstice]

Open these in FModel and extract your uassets and those get thrown in your mod

[coral tusk]

Ooo alr i'll try that when i get a chance

[coral tusk]

☹️

i went through my ue4 project and re-matched it exactly to where its found in p3r

same problem

I might just give up, and come back when theres a propper tutorial made cause this is getting ridiculous💀

[echo shard]

if this is the current folder organization in ue, then it's wrong

You have it as Content/Xrd777/Characters/PC0007/Ocean_Blue/Models, it should probably be Content/Costumes/Aigis/Ocean_Blue

I'm guessing this is more of a learning endeavor so probably not too useful right now, but you're able to reuse existing meshes by setting it in the config.yaml. You could probably make the costumes with just that, but doesn't really teach much since it's just text editing lol

[coral tusk]

I used the config generator and this is all it ever gave me 😭

[coral tusk]

Alright I'll try that next

pain

[coral tusk]

Just rechecke the gamebanana page and saw the config to paste in

the mesh part works using the existing files in game, i made sure of that

but how would i go about changing the material it uses?

changed the paths to my mod just to see

thats a step in the right direction i think, problem is idk how i would continue on from here and fix it😭

[coral tusk]

i found the title model itself and that works for the most part

only problem is the duplicate hands

[coral tusk]

so this ended up working almost perfectly besides aigis's hands and kens hair. The only major problem is that this cripples my plans on making a femc version of this mod
