Are some downloaded just missing parts?

[Alfre4u]

Getting off comp now, but by some crazy chance someone answers by time I can get on again figured would ask... without much research

mainly got a few skins from alexff but noticed many just have a few loose files and a txt on the hero
- tried a couple ways to assume get them to work and could not.
(like copying folder structure and naming style of the ones that were complete) -

Am I just missing something like are they meant too be added to completed ones and are just parts despite the pics and txt document or as I saw a different post missing their meshes or w/e?

On Alex, if it says "skin" at the bottom of the picture, then you need the mesh that goes with it. If it says "mesh" then that's provided.

Content creators usually put out their work in different ways - sometimes skins alone, sometimes with the mesh and  skin but no keyframe file, and sometimes everything provided.

To get everything working right, you need a nif and kf file in the character's root directory, a skins directory off of that with at least one directory off of that, usually named "standard". The actual skins go in that directory and are named off the base for that mesh. IE a "male basic" skin for that mesh, and a "male_heavy" for that one.

Some meshes have multiple skins, each having its own directory.

Sometimes you can move a skin onto a different mesh just by renaming it.

FF2 takes "tga" and "dds" type skins, while FF1 only takes "tga"

I put a bit of info on that on the character list I'm working on if you want to check it out;

Ya I actually figured it out though would never been able to reading that

Suffice to say just say

Some meshes require using the default Skin/character Folders named same thing like long hair goes with long hair.
(And can save original by simply copy pasting it and giving it a 2 or w/e in its top folder name)


Though yet too look into the ones that did not come with default already implemented soo have too look for those suppose
(as anything they may even say to go grab- if they kind enough too do that -are likely long gone from yahoo update or whatever happened).

Thanks though, was not expecting such a fast reply, good too see.
And for sure will check out your collection as sadly many seem gone.

Edit:
Of course know can name root folder whatever does not need too be just add 2 or copy directly same
Some creators for any game just don't make a root folder for whatever reason so just have too sometimes make 1 then toss the skin and mesh (or whatever for other games) into it
Too ignore what the preview shows when creating (might look skuffed from missing bits too tiny, but in game looks fine)

So far only ran into sort of 2 that had missing mesh (From other site)

Gorrila Grond and Tygra + certain other catwomen
(Gorilla, Heroine with tail)

Also I think I maybe saw it somewhere but had little interest but seems 1 other missing mesh

Giganta
(female_amazon_muscular_tall mesh)

Medusa_snake_Body for Reptillia also seem broken
