[HELP] Model Change Ignore Parts Problem (Hair Mostly)

[NickHough]

Hey,

As the title states i've got a small problem with the model change system, i got it working like 99% accept the problem shown below in the screen shot.


My code for change/updating the model is as follows
(placed in several places in the code to allow update on loading the initial character and when changing items)

 Spoiler

ItemProp * prop = prj.GetItemProp(pEquipInfo[dwParts].dwNewId);//prevent model neuz crashes
if (pItemProp->bPartsFile == TRUE)
{
prj.m_modelMng.MakePartsName(szPartsName, _T("part"), pEquipInfo[dwParts].dwNewId, nSex);
pItemProp->bPartsFile = prop->bPartsFile;
pItemProp->dwExclusive = prop->dwExclusive;
pItemProp->dwBasePartsIgnore = prop->dwBasePartsIgnore;
}
else
{
prj.m_modelMng.MakeModelName(szPartsName, OT_ITEM, pEquipInfo[dwParts].dwNewId);
pItemProp->bPartsFile = prop->bPartsFile;
pItemProp->dwExclusive = prop->dwExclusive;
pItemProp->dwBasePartsIgnore = prop->dwBasePartsIgnore;
}

Try taking a look in CMover::render

Hey thanks for the tip,

But it seems regardless of which way i do it, it inverts the problem :/ I am currently at a loss :/

A good thing is when you login the correct hair mesh shows, but in your inventory and when loading the character screen as shown below.



Also had to remove some parts from the code shown above to just show as

ItemProp * prop = prj.GetItemProp(pEquipInfo[dwParts].dwNewId);//prevent model neuz crashes
if (pItemProp->bPartsFile == TRUE)
{
prj.m_modelMng.MakePartsName(szPartsName, _T("part"), pEquipInfo[dwParts].dwNewId, nSex);
}
else
{
prj.m_modelMng.MakeModelName(szPartsName, OT_ITEM, pEquipInfo[dwParts].dwNewId);
}

As those extra lines caused it to show as working on your character, inventory and when selecting a character, but not when in-game and someone else is looking at you.

Yeah i will look into it but it seems that they might be the same rendering procedures, when i was testing the code in my first post it seemed to fix both the problems for the 2nd post, may need to add a new parameter (bool) for inventory draw and character select draw to hopefully just get those working again properly.

Many thanks for your help as well, it pointed my in the right direction
