This thread is probably dead, but I figured I'd ask: has anyone managed to manually add the leather or wet look to a costume piece? I'm trying to give the short shorts from Leather and Lace a leather texture, but my game just crashes. And before anyone asks, yes, I own the game legitimately, and yes, my Steam account should be linked to my forum account.
Anyway, I'm running JediDave's Character Customization, ComradeJK's Anatomically correct female texture's, Extra Clothing and Makeup colors, and this. All of these mods work fine together...up until I try to add my modified short shorts and update the ASM, then the game crashes completely.
So here's the way I've been going about this, but I'm relatively new to this, so I've had to figure it all out piecemeal:
Using the "attachments.zip" linked by superdemus on page 6, I've unpacked "customize_item.vpp_pc"
Navigate to folder "custmesh_150766254" (I've isolated this as the short shorts)
Using WinHex, and the method described by superdemus for leather here: here , I'm editing the file "cm_lli_lbdy_f_shorts" in both "custmesh_150766254 and "custmesh_150766254f". Note, that I've edited them exactly as described in the link.
Once those have been edited, I'm using Minimaul's tools to repack them as .str2_pc files.
I then dump those files in the root directory for Saint's Row IV.
Note that I've tried two ways of updating the ASM. First is to update the ASM for each file as it's being repacked through the GUI. The second is to simply pack the files, and then use Stream2Update to update at once, with the same results in either case.
Clearly there's something I'm missing, so I'd appreciate any help anyone might offer.
