Any way to add additonal bodygroups to TMCs?

[whygodwhyyy]

I am trying to add additional accessories and clothes to mods I have and want to know the proper way to do it. The method I am using now is that I will just import in the items in blender and just join them to an already existing bodygroup, but doing it this way isn't really that good because it causes texture issues. Is there a way I could add a completely new and independent bodygroup for the TMC so I can add the additional items?

Use TMC object tool. There you can create new empty objects (what you call bodygroups) and import objects from other mods (along with it's textures) into the TMC you're editing

Some TMC files I open in the object tool have the import function greyed out and I cant import anything. Is there something I am supposed to do first?

Greyed out? Can't say, never happened to me (aside from when there's no tmc loaded)

Sorry I'm just an idiot lol. I needed to have a TMCL file in the same folder for it to work. Thanks again

Actually one last thing. Whenever I try to load the outfits in the game with the imported objects, the game wont load the outfit on the char select screen and it just has the load icon forever. Would you know what causes this?

The resulting TMC probably has exceeded max size. It depends of the model but if the TMCL is bigger than 10 -12 Mb (some only allow 6) you're probably going to have infinite loading problems. Keep in mind that when you import an object, it imports the textures with it, even a tiny thing like a earring can be in a shared texture of 1Mb. If you add to many of them, the program cannot manage the resulting file

Yeah i got it. I cleared out all the extra leftover unused textures and that solved my problem. Thanks again man
