create tattoo


Recommended Posts

I can create a new tattoo.

I modify a png file in C:\TheKlub17\Archives\2.158.001\Images.zip\Images\Q=Tex032M\Shared\Body\Tattoo.

 

It works but how to add new tattoo and not modify existing. Simply put file in this directory is not sufficent.

Simply put file in this directory is not sufficent.

it's also not the right way to do it. Rule of thumb: leave the Archives alone.

 

You should create a folder in Mod\ActiveMod and put your new tattoo designs there.

As long as you use the same filename(s), the game will register and use them.

 

Tip: you can create multiple folders to make more alternative versions of the same tattoo file.

I am giving it a go as we speak but at first sight it looks like you used the wrong filename.

 

Yep, the filenames should be changed to tattoo_nipple035.png and tattoo_nipple035.txf

 

If you do that, you will get this result:

 

tattoo.jpg.88449bdd4b863734ffde89150ccfa38d.jpg

 

As the *.txf correctly says, the texture file should be a 32bit RGBA file with AlphaBlend transparency

(24 bit colour + 8 bits alpha channel for the transparency)

The texture file you posted is an 8 bit file without Alpha channel.

That's why it doesn't look right.

 

You can use a program like GIMP or Photoshop to create proper RGBA textures.

i used to have a list somehwere but i cant find it ATM.

 

Rule of thumb: use the same name as the original tattoo textures.

anything else won't be recognized

if you need more variations of the same file, create more subfolders in ActiveMod

 

BTW: the filesnames of the tattoos determine where they can go.... its complicated :)

found the list! It's not complete; most nipple tattoos are missing here because i simply wanted to figure out the location of the tats and that's rather obvious for that category ;)

ive also got an archive with very useful templates for all tattoos.
