Title: Skins and Mesh Site?
Post by: qwert_44702 on November 13, 2019, 02:52:15 AM
Im wanting to find a site with both the skin and mesh together...im playing the sequal and want to make some original heroes for my game.
I got EZFX 6.0 installed
Ive seen alot of good skins but you need the right mesh with it...which usually entails hoping all over the internet galaxy and just hoping you in the right place.
I favor the iron man type heroes.
Like i said i want to  be able to load my game up and create new ones is what im shooting for
Any help is much appreciated.

Alex's is one of the best:

http://www.alexff.com/index.php

There are still some skins that you need to have the mesh for, but there are a lot of them paired together.

And Sick Alice's

http://catman.freedomforceforever.com/index.html

Other than that, the Living List has all sorts of stuff, bot with and without the appropriate mesh or skin:

But sometimes you will just have to ask.

I don't see a Doc Strange on Alex's site.

Which game are you using FF1 or FFv3R?

I seem to have seven Doc Strange meshes by Tommy for FF1; T, TV, TVL, and so on.

Caped meshes include Male Cape, Male Cape Nobelt, Male Muscular Cape variants, Male Muscular Tall Cape variants, Male Alpha, Male Basic Cape variants, most of Tommy's meshes, Taskmaster, and any mesh based on any of those meshes. Most of Tommy's bases meshes start with "male basic", or something like it It can really get confusing, since most modern meshes have a "male basic" texture even if they have a cape.

What can i do to get the converter from Alexs to work on my machine
it keeps wanting me to instal an older netframe work and my computer wont let me?

Post by: qwert_44702 on November 13, 2019, 05:54:21 PM
1 thing im confused about is some files has a standard folder and then maybe something like an ironman folder(or other hero)..what do i do with these 2 files...do i leave them in or do i take 1 out?
Title: Re: Skins and Mesh Site?
Post by: daglob on November 13, 2019, 10:02:07 PM
At a guess it is an additional skin. Although some creators have a kind of "blank" skin in the standard folder, and the "real" skin is in another folder with the proper name. I don't know if there is a limit, but I have 540 skins in my primary Male Basic skins folder.

I'm a content hog...

I know I had a problem with Alex's converter like that, but I can't remember how I fixed it.

Post by: qwert_44702 on November 13, 2019, 10:40:14 PM

Post by: qwert_44702 on November 13, 2019, 11:05:52 PM
This is stupid i know but if the mesh aint included with the skins there wont be no
character.nif
head.nif
keyframes.nif
is that correct?
Title: Re: Skins and Mesh Site?
Post by: daglob on November 13, 2019, 11:39:19 PM
Character.nif is the mesh. keyframes.kf (character.kf in FFv3R) is the file that has the animation instructions, the head.nif is not in every character, but it is a file for "close-ups" in the game, all the skins and their related files are usually *.tga (*.dds in FFv3R too).

I created my primary Male Basic folder is because I have a bunch of Male Basic meshes with custom keyframes, for Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and so on.

I'll check and see if I've already got these converted, and post them on Medifire so you can get them. If I do I'll let you know

If you don't have them already converted, chances are, I do.

Check here:

I'll post a copy of Hero Converter, but if the problem is with your machine, it won't matter. I have mine set to run as an administrator, and the conversion folder is on the desktop. I don't guarantee that these will work

Most of them bob up and down in the creation window. I think there is one or two that don't, but only one or two. You can also check in the Character Tool to see if it moves; if it moves in CTool, it should move in the game.

Anyone have this mesh-
C-6 Mk V Assault-
all it says to hunt down the mesh is this:
Mesh Model: Courtnall6 - http://www.gammapatrol.com/content.php?ctype=meshes&cid=35&qStart=24
which leads to a broken domain.

Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/file/m3o1r3b1b7kaksq/c6_armors.zip/file

This should have several of C6's armors, including the Assault Armor.

Like meatal shiny

There is a "relf.*" texture that causes the reflections. There might also be a flaw in the mesh that makes it too reflective. Is it one you got from me?

Or some of he general meshes might have a bright reflection and glow texture in the standard skin.

AND... sometime if the refl texture is missing the mesh seems to just set the reflection on "high" or something. It will do something similar with the glow texture if it is missing, or it may be pink. A kind of teal color means the skin is the wrong size and needs to be adjusted (or, at least it does on my computer)

Post by: qwert_44702 on November 15, 2019, 12:20:02 AM
oh no
some of the iron man armors look awesome with metalish shine to them is all
I was just wondering if you can slap the shiny reflections from 1 file to the next
Title: Re: Skins and Mesh Site?
Post by: qwert_44702 on November 15, 2019, 12:22:32 AM
like take the shiny files i really like from an iron man i really like and slap on a warmachine that has no shine to it to make its metal shine
Title: Re: Skins and Mesh Site?
Post by: Cyber Burn on November 16, 2019, 11:51:31 PM
Actually, to get the effect you want, you could just copy the "Male_Basic.tga" or "Male_Basic.dds" file for that War Machine, depending on what type of files the Skin uses, and then rename the copy you create to either "Male_Basic_Refl.tga" or "Male_Basic_Refl.dds", again, depending on what type of files the Skin uses. You could also copy the "Male_Basic_Lightmap.tga" or "Male_Basic_Lightmap.dds" from the Iron Man folder to the War Machine folder. If the Mesh you are using already has the Effects enabled, then this would be the best way to go.
