The outfits worn by the Social District faction fixers are supposedly part of their model, i.e. one single asset. Turning them into individual, usable items might not be an oh so trivial task.

MattScott 15242 Posted August 9, 2019 Hi there, Reading through this thread, I like the idea of splitting up the clothing off Social contacts so they can be usable pieces for players. Previous replies are correct: the Social contacts have a different setup so those assets wont come directly across, but I believe they can be adapted. Personally, I'm a fan of Double B's double shotgun harness... possibly Akiko's katana harness. Thanks, Matt 11 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By "having a different setup" - I imagine this means they are built and textured with a more traditional method - i.e. their own texture sheet and unique geometry to fit with the model, vs the player customization asset method (which has the texture overlaid over a certain portion of the character's UV iirc, and the mesh generally "morphs" the base player vs being a unique model on top) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Texture space and layout are a non-issue with converting things, its just a rebuilding process. Afaik APB does not have clothing physics so Charlotte's skirt and Sofia's coat are just not possible with the current character rigging system. La Rocha's gun will also probably never appear simply because of what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The jiggly bits you see on it when she turns around are actual hard coded animation, not actual physics since APB doesn't support clothing physics. Welp, there go my dreams of being a cowgirl.

It's more the belt items I'm interested in. The cuffs and the SMG/SMG magazines as belt accessories would be quite cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Matt I've been waiting for Akiko's harness for years and years!@MattScott Please make sure it works with the jackets/coats and other wearable items, because at the moment it's mostly only arrows that work - most other backpacks removes your outer-coat/armor. There's a lot of "layer" conflicts, where the items look like they'd be perfectly usable together, but aren't - so generally that'd be nice to see fixed on multiple items (if you need help to pinpoint, just say so). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
