IMPORTANT UPDATE! ==================================================================================================================
With the release of AnvilToolkit v1.2.8, due to the changes in .xml format the .xml's this tool creates are no longer compatible. I'll need to do some maintenance on my end to get the tool working again, though I can't say for certain if and when this will be possible for me.
The tool has been updated to work with 1.2.8! There haven't been any further bug fixes or features added yet as they'll take longer (At least that I know of, I was probably working on new stuff last year that may have made their way into this patch?), but from what I've tested it was all working as expected.
FAQ ================================================================================================================== I can't open the .xml/It Opens in *Browser*: I use Notepad++ to edit .xml's, if you've already downloaded this software you can right click on the .xml file and choose "Open With".
My game crashes to desktop before reaching the menu: A .forge or other file in your AC Unity directory is broken. This is not the fault of the Outfit Manager. You will need to verify your game files and delete your "Extracted" folder to ensure that you're not continuing to package broken files.
I can't find "Export.xml": In an effort to make the tool a bit more logical after the transmog system was introduced I changed the "export.xml" filename to "Colorsets.xml". As a result the video tutorial now mentions some outdated information. This seems to have caused more confusion than expected.
My game crashes to desktop while loading my savegame: This will be an issue with your Outfit Manager install. There's a handful of reasons this may be:
Your .xml is corrupted: it's best to delete your Outfit Manager exported .xmls and launch the program again, this will generate new .xml's.
You have a _Patch.Forge: Your game directory may include different files to mine which I was unaware of when making the tutorial videos. If you see files that contain "_patch_" after "DATAPC_ACU_Paris", then you'll want to use the patch with the highest number.
====================================================================================================================== If you find any issues with this tool, please let me know by posting a bug report in the bugs tab Current known issues: Outfit colours are not always 1-1, Sometimes they may appear more or less saturated/bright in the manager. I'm looking into this but I'll need more information from people to work out where exactly the values are differing in-game.
Some layers are not accurate to their in-game counterparts. E.g secondary/tertiary colours not displayed correctly in the editor.
Feel free to post your custom outfit images in the comments here, or you can request to upload a user image to this mod page I'd love to see what people come up with.
====================================================================================================================== Planned Future Updates: More colour editing options, such as outfit trim and interior colours separated from the primary colours TRANSMOG: The transmog update has been released! I will create a video explaining how it works soon. ===================================================================================================================
I saved the armor customizer mod that you just drag and drop into the game Gear Visual Customization it works just like ACU fixes it also lets you toggle hood down with H and works in multi-player
I'm having issues with the export files, the video says the files should have 3700 lines, but all the files I've generated have 3679 lines, why is this?
Love the mod first off! Out of curiousity though and i think i already know the answer but I'll ask to be certain but is this Co-op friendly? Asking because I'm planning on playing with a friend and want o play it safe to be sure.
Mine was working and I wanted to switch my hood, but when I try and repack it has this message: Failed to read: 123_-_CN_P_ArnoAvatar_Hoods.xmlError: Unexpected end tag. Line 1, position 68.
I downloaded Notepad++ and i can open the color sets xml there, but when i try to open the other file through Anvil Toolkit, it still wants to open to Microsoft edge, even though i already set notepad++ as the default. So now im just stuck in the middle of the process and Don't know what to do.
