Custom Races, how I control the clothing

from Elemental Forums

I'm trying to create a custom race that I can create a Sovereign with mix parts from the other races, for example for my base male Sovereign, I'd like him to be to equip clothing from both the mancers and men is there anyway to do this?

What clothing the different races can equip is defined in the clothing XML. In the CorePantsSkirts.xml file, for each GameItemType node there are SupportedUnitModelType subnodes which determine which models are able to equip that piece of clothing.

Changing it by hand looks like it'll be a pain, I'll probably knock something up in C# to do it easier if you can wait a day or two.

The faction editor looks to have gotten updated some with more color choices.

If you remove the SupportedUnitModelType however, it's available to all. That may be an alternative, but still a pain unless you can batch script your way through cleaning up the files properly.

Is that there a way to insert a Unit Model Type?

Don't know, haven't looked at it.
