Here’s a little hierarchy for you to visualize the components of a clothing item: Either one of them comes with a variety of morph targets that allow for character customization sliders in-game. Unlike in Saints Row 2, there are at least two models for each clothing item in SRTT and SRIV – a male and a female version. Then search the name of the item you chose to base your mod on, by pressing CTRL+F. Since I’m playing the English version, I would open "reference_strings_us.xml". Open the reference strings file associated with the language you’re playing SRIV in. Xtbl files are very similar to xml files and can be edited with any text editor. In there, you will find a bunch of uncompressed localization files named "reference_strings_xx.xml" (replace "xx" with language abbreviations such as "de", "ru", "us" etc.) and a file called "customization_items.xtbl". For that, we’ll use “”, one of Minimaul’s command line tools.įirst, download the "reference_files.zip" archive provided at the bottom of this post. The purpose of this step is to create a tangible new customization item the simplest way possible – essentially by extracting and duplicating all game files of the item you chose in step 1. Step 2: Creating a New Customization Item by Cloning For more information, look at this post by Idolninja Although a little tedious, it is possible to manually tweak which areas of the character will be hidden by your customization item later. If that’s the case, you should go with an item that’s at the very least assigned to the customization slot you want for your design. There’s nothing quite like my concept already in the game. On the other hand, if you take a smaller item as a source, the character’s body might end up clipping through your proper clothes.
If you base your mod on an item that covers larger areas of the body, some parts of the character will appear invisible after you replace the vanilla model with your custom one. Why is it important that the vanilla item covers the same body parts as my item?īecause in SRIV, there’s a system in place which hides polygons of the player character’s body, depending on the customization items worn.
