If not wanted please tell me. This is tutorial I made on my fansite about how to make costumes with reshoot. People think that it is hard but I think its better than MED. Well ok...here it is then....
Costume Making Tutorial!
This what you've all been waiting for...how to make costumes!
Stuff you will need
Reshoot here
Step One
Click on start then click on "Run"
Type in "cmd" then press ok or enter.
You should recieve a screen like this...
with the newer versions you can go into Start>Programs>Reshoot> and click on reshoot.
Step Two
Now we shall find the costume we wish to extract.
Unlike MED you have type out commands for reshoot.
To find what functions reshoot can perform type in...
You should be greeted with this:
This is a big help this first time you do it but as you get better you remember it.
In this tutorial I am going to retexture a chicken. So I would type in...
reshoot -f: Is the finding option. It will show all the costumes. sets, props and scenes in The Movies game with the word "Chicken" in.
If you are more advanced at this then you might just to type in...
reshoot -l: This will list the all the files with chicken in the name (such as ini files, meshes and textures).
Ok...you should now have right in front of your nose...this (reshoot -f)
or this (reshoot -l)
Now on the next step...let's extract the costumes!
Step Three
Before extracting take this into account: G is Male or Male and Female M is male and F is female.
So: G_CHICKEN.cos is Male (could be bother genders but not sure).
And: F_CHICKEN.cos is Female
For reshoot -f
Type in the following code...
reshoot -r: Extract Related
reshoot -e: extract
reshoot -d: Directory
The Directory in this tutorial is: C:\TMExtract. You can type in another directory but for this tutorial we'd better stick with that file path.
Ok. Then it will list all the files it's extracted.
Yipee! You've extracted you're first costume!
Reshoot -l
The easier way if you want to extract a single file without having the whole costume.
The texture files are the ones with .dds on the end of them. Another advantage of listing files is that you can select what texture you want instead of having the first retexture of costume e.g. The G_CHICKEN.cos only comes with the yellow chicken head and body.
Very similar to extracting the whole thing:
and
You could also get the purple chicken body and head (v02) and the red chicken's (v01) too (add those numbers on the end of .dds file instead of v00).
Yet again...we have extracted yet another (part of a) costume!
Step Four
Now you can customize your costume!
You will need this for this part.
DDS Plug in for Photoshop
This way you can load and save it. When saving save it as 32 bit. Edit the costume how you like! That's one thing you don't need to follow on this tutorial.
Once you're finished you'll be shouting at me: "HOW THE HECK DO I PUT THIS IN THE GAME?!?!?!?"
Have faith pupil
Step Five
Now the moment of truth...it's time to see if your costume will work.
First of all. The number at the end has to be the next number in the costume sequence e.g. if the last number was 02 this one will be 03.
Rename your costumes:
chicken_head_x0_v03
chicken_body_x0_v03
Then copy them into this folder
C:\Program Files\Lionhead Studios Ltd\Data\Textures
(if Textures doesn't exsist make it then).
Run the game....
And there you (should) have it! Costumes in game!
