Char code - 2 pieces of clothing of the same type (1 Viewer)

[unfairhobbit]

I've heard quite a while ago (might of imagined it), that it was possible in the CharCode to have two pieces of clothing(E.g. top), and have them overlap each other, or atop each other depending on the clothing piece. Could someone tell me if this is possible? if so can I have a quick demonstration with a mock up please?
many thanks in advance.

CharCode to have two pieces of clothing(E.g. top), and have them overlap each other

Not by default -- which means that you can't do it in the vanilla game. It can be done in the Loader via a few techniques:

• moreClothing
  
  • Install the moreClothing mod (or download sby's Loader Pack)
    
  • Place the SWF files for your custom shirts into the moreclothingmods folder, and then register them in the moreclothingV6settings.txt file
  • Register each of the shirts again using an alternate category which you rarely use (such as tongue piercing).
    
  • Write (or generate) a charCode which assigns one shirt in the usual category (Tops:FirstShirt) and another in the alternate category (TonguePiercing:SecondShirt).
  • Loading this charCode will place both shirts onto the girl, overlapping where necessary
• Character Folder
  • Read the Newbie Guide to learn about Character Folders
    
  • Setup a new Character Folder
  • Put the SWF files for your two shirts inside the new folder
  • List both filenames in the Mods.txt file inside your Character Folder. Put them in order: the first filename will be underneath, while the second filename will be worn on top.
    
  • When this character is activated in-game, SDT will attempt to load both shirts in sequence. If the second shirt was flagged with overwrite=true then it will replace the first shirt ... but modders usually don't do that, so hopefully you'll see both shirts.
  • Note: this approach doesn't actually use a charcode, but Character Folders can be activated at any time (in the same way as a Saved character)

moreclothingV6settings.txt

(regular stuff goes here, but we'll ignore it and skip to the end of the file -- to add a few NEW lines)
...
; First, we'll register each of our SWF files as a SHIRT
Cleavage_Shirt.swf=Cleavage Shirt:CostumeTop
; Next, we'll register each of our SWF files as SOMETHING ELSE.  I'll use tongue piercing for this example.
Cleavage_Shirt.swf=Cleavage Shirt2:CostumeTop>CostumeTonguePiercing

charCode

charName:TwoShirtGirl;tops:croppedtank,255,255,255,1,0,0,255,1;tonguePiercing:cleavageshirt2;

Wow, that's an intuitive way of having multiple clothing items. That has answered so many of my problems/issues. Thank you very much!

tried to reply to this yesterday, but undertow went offline xD

if you want flexibility of mixing and matching with moreclothing, you can put clothing items on the togglable body menus moreclothing creates. or, you can register the 2 mods you want to combine on the same menu entry like:

Cleavage_Shirt.swf=Combo Shirt:CostumeTop
CleavageTopTank.swf=Combo Shirt:CostumeTop

ordering does matter to determine what goes above the other. i believe last loaded is on top.

Fascinating. This opens up some really cool options to play around with...

If you have the inclination it might be handy to note this in the documentation to future editions to MoreClothing so it doesn't get lost down the rat hole of time.

Might be worth mentioning:
I started to wonder whether I could use different RGB's for the two pieces of clothing. Before you could have

Cleavage_Shirt.swf=Cleavage Shirt:CostumeTop
Cleavage_Shirt.swf=Cleavage Shirt2:CostumeTop>CostumeTonguePiercing

However the Colour of the Cleavage shirt2 will still be a part of the top's colour regardless of where you select the clothing from.
Using moreclothing, I added the reghue option to the end

Cleavage_Shirt.swf=Cleavage Shirt2:CostumeTop+reghue>CostumeTonguePiercing

I am now able to change the colour of the Tops independently using the loader. Yay for mods and Mods.

Also if someone can tell me how to do the Code sections of posts that would be quite handy

Just click on the "+" in the symbol list above the text area of your post - then you can chose to add Quote, Spoiler, Code or Strike-Through. HTH

i do have this note at the top of the moreclothing settings file:
;Mods with the same menu name on the same menu will be placed together (not supported for legwear menu)
although i don't give an example next to it
