Can't get female version of armor to show

[Ringwraith #5]

Okay, so I'm trying to retexture the Heraldic Mail with Tabard and make it into a regular piece of armor that doesn't change texture according to the banner. I've managed to accomplish that, except the armor doesn't change into the slim female version when equipped by a woman. I have no idea what I did wrong, the vertex animation thingy in OpenBRF seems to be set up correctly and shows the female version just like it does for the regular armor. Yet when a woman equips the new item, she completely hulks out.
Assistance would be greatly appreciated. Any ideas?

make sure you aren't using a "no_skin" shader and take note that the female frame has to be in frame 2 and time is 10.

Shader is specular_shader_skin_bump_high, female frame is in frame 2 at time 10 (I didn't touch that at all, so it should be the same as on the original model).

HM did you changed armors uvmap
or you just edited texture?

Just edited the texture, saved it under a different name, made a texture and material brf files for it.

Could the item_kinds1.txt entry for it cause this? The Heraldic Mail with Tabard has this:

As far as I can tell, the highlighted stuff has to do with the banner placement on the armor, so I removed the red code and changed the blue 1 to a 0, as it is on other non-heraldic armors. That should be okay, no?

Noticed this error too on a mod pack....with byrnies.....

i just looked at heraldic armors
and all of those has alpha Chanel
perhaps it is something with this

 

[Ringwraith #5]

Fiddling with that was one of the first things I tried. As far as I can tell, it makes no difference if the alpha-channel is there or not.

 

[rgcotl]

by the way just want ed to ask did you changed the armor name
or you leaved it same name as it was in commonRes?

 

[Ringwraith #5]

Yes I did change the name. I want to make it a completely new item with its own resources, so that I can easily import it into whatever mod I'm playing at the moment by just dropping the resource files into place and copypasting module.ini and item_kinds1.txt entries for it.
To that end, I made new brf files for it. This I did by opening up the standard files, deleting everything but the item I want from them, renaming the models and materials appropriately, then saving the resulting files under new names.

that first line must be totally changed

and it will be good if you put that armor before item_end

make sure you using exactly that item with you added new and not the old one

 

[Ringwraith #5]

Yes, I did change that first line and yes, I did put it before the item_end. Actual entry that I have in my item_kinds1.txt looks like this:

Okaaaaay, so I've figured it out. I used the mesh heraldic_armor_d as my base, not noticing that the original item used heraldic_armor_new_d (d'oh!). The old meshes apparently don't work and go completely unused in the game. Switching over to the new mesh solved the problem.
