2 Screens below here so Windows pros can set this up without reading.![]() ![]() 1 Select all the char folders in sfxt/resource/CMN/battle/chara/ Copy them to a custom folder like* User/SFxTmods/OrigBackup/. 2 Create a shortcut to chara in SFxTmods/. 3 Download FastFileRenamer, put it in HDDroot(c:Drive) or in x86 programs, make a shortcut in SFxTmods. 4 Create another folder "SFxTmodArchive" what this is, is a place to put unmodified files from this forum and deviant art. This can be located anywhere even portable USB/eSata drives. If you locate out of SFxTmod folder then make a shortcut in SFxTmods. 5 Create another folder with unique personal "Birthday Suits, Prefered or Test" in SFxTmods. Each folder you make is a profile or Custom Model Pack. 6 Drag and drop model files from winrar into SFxTmods/"Preferred"/"CNL" without quotes, and you need the correct character folder name as well. Pretty much done now(creating environment) just a matter of customizing your model sets location-C123. 7 Load up SFxT & set fullscreen resolution same as desktops for now or change desktops to match sfxt(loads faster and prevents e107 from bugging). 8 Get to character customize - color but dont enter the char icon page yet. ALT+Tab or window key out. 9 Navigate to SFxTmods if you closed it, now right-click on chara/ -open in new window. Open your 'BirthdaySuits' folder and select all, paste into chara. You should be able to change models while in the main menu then go back to color to see how it looks, works or if it's in the correct slot. If you're like me and you love Cammy and Chun li's Original Outfits but one of our forum/deviant artists overwrote that slot then restore from the backup we made earlier what you need is typically the 12model files with '01' in the first part of the name. 10 If you want to change a model to a different outfit slot then open fastfilerenamer and 'BirthdaySuits/CNL'. 11 Select all of 'CNL' drop them into FastF.R., on the first tab put 01 as Original and Replace as 02 or 03. 12 Hit preview if it only renamed 12 on fully color-able models you should be fine to remove preview and perform rename. 13 Hit clear list X if you're renaming another model soon. 14 Only thing to look for is if there were replacements in wrong spots hasn't happened to me yet so you could just hit rename since you got Archive and deviant/forum as online backup. Cleanup; building a smaller backup, If you build a smaller backup than me thats fine, personally mines around 2.1gigs and allows me to delete my whole chara folder then just copy the backup in 2clicks, easier but has a 3min copy time BUT if you dragNdrop your backup, then copy it to backup folder sfxt can be booted right after the delete, extremely useful for Bugs, removing nude mods in wificafes ect. Alternatively your modpack/profile folders should show you which files you've modified, I swap a lot of chars so the delete is quicker for me. If you run into issues where your char is crashing you but wasn't before, >>(otherwise its a nonATI mod or some issue), you probably installed 2different mods that didn't have all 12 files in those cases its better to restore that outfit from backup then install the mod or whole profile. New; For stages just set up the environment in the image, extract those archives with the "patch" folder directly to SFxT game folder. You're Done already! Below this is just BS. I assume most/all of the artists have a good or even better swap method than me, I just wanted to give a few people ideas by writing this. Examples of what sets can do; Sets can minimize your file size and allow you to take advantage of all the customs you like it also gives you a fairly redundant backup, not full proof though HDD errors can still get you. My1stSet'Nude'- All females naked in C1 'allComputersNaked' so when I play Arcade the it's like DOA with a better fighting system. My2ndSet Prefered WIP: Cammy-Orig/specops/laraC, Sakura-Orig/ArcEdalt1/3, ABL-Spacewolf/2/3, Ken1/Cowboy/3, LILmorrigan/corsetNighty/3 ect. I've found a lot of models that don't work on ATI, also some mods are missing some of the 12 files required to switch slots. My3rdSet-'Test' Extract a massive amount of models in here for testing, coloring and crash fixing. eSlang; C1=Original, C2=Alternate, C3=Swap. C=Costume. Suggestions, additions;Might do low kb pic guide? Might add full dir names for newbs and language barriers? Scary! Edited by Valvados, May 3 2013, 04:26 PM.
