Partial Torso
« on: June 04, 2009, 08:00:18 pm »
I have decided to use the "Sandy" head with the accessory pack shoulders for my HAL.  Jack Gephart has kindly supplied me with some textures to modify the "princess_girlShirt" into somethng much more attractive!

His single line text file when dropped onto the Haptek Player running the head loads the the .jpg perfectly and changes the shirt into a blouse.

I need help with a method to load the new shoulder texture into HAL.  I can get HAL to run the head with the black shirt, but am unable to load the .jpg to change it.  I tried various mods of the fullbody "loaders" that work fine for full bodies but can't get the right combo to do the black shirt/shoulders.

Here is a before, after and current shot for clarity.  I need to get the after effect into HAL with the ability to change the clothing as needed.  Thanks again for the help!

I have been waiting for your comment first Jack before I said anything. I think he is trying to load a .jpg from haptek skins folder which I don't believe will load into Hal from there. I don't know of a solution and havn't done any experiments to find one yet.I guess my first experiment would be to paste .jpg and text into hal character folder. I have my doubts if this will work redily as the text would probably have to be rewriten to reflect the new location of the .jpg
If anyone could open the door to this brave new world It would be Duskrider - Dusky, can it be done?[:)]

Duskrider-
A tutorial would be great!  I spent a couple hours trying variations
of the script for loading the fullbody characters with a custom clothing .jpg but had no luck.  I'm not sure how to set the texture and call the .jpg file for it in HAL.
Thanks guys!

Just wanted to let folks know I am closer to my
goal now.  There IS life between a basic floating
head and a full body!

What to call this adventure so others could find
it?  It's bigger than a floating head but not as
complex as a partial torso.  Not even close to a
full body :)

Thanks for all your help with this!
