Turning off parts of models.... again

[Jah Warrior]

Fellas,

 

I would seriously appreciate a bit of help with this often asked question.

 

Does anyone know of a definitive guide to turning off parts of models:- for example turning off the tunic part of the luke model or similar.

 

If you can explain the logic behind it then thats enough but I'm really struggling here so any help would be appreciated.

 

The exact name of the file i want to turn the hips part off is boots_hips.jpg as per the luke skin/model. however i want to keep the lower section (the shins).

you can't take the tunic off but you can take shoulder pads off by adding an _off to the name in the modle.skn i think i havn't done it in a while. but this won't make it work in mod veiw in mod veiw you go through the list on the left and find the parts and right click turn off... well i can't explain thing so yeah...

To turn off and on surfaces:

 

Create a .txt dokument (in the folder the model is in), rename it model_default.surf. Then open it up in notepade and write this for an example (this shows how to turn off the rodians vest and belt).

 

surfoff ''torso_vest hips_belt''

surfon ''torso_augment_off''

 

Now this will turn off the rodians vest and and belt off.

I didnt really understand what you meant with boots but I think I understod. You cant turn of the boots but keep the lover part.

Thanks man,

 

I tried that and got it to work with a rodian but the problem is trying to get rid of the sort of tunic bit on the luke model.

 

see this pic:-

 

the texture underneath is fine its just that I cant get rid of the damn tunic bit.

 

Any ideas?

Ooooohhhh that part! Im sorry to tell you this but thats impossible, you can turn it off but then when you play with it you would see the place it should be, well....... Invisible.
