Title: Costume Creator can't find existing costume parts
Post by: vidarr on October 24, 2021, 07:27:39 pm
I've seen this once or twice, but haven't had the issue last this long.

Anyways, when I pull up the current costume for this toon, it can't find the existing parts.  I've attached a screenshot of the error.

Hope it's an easy fix.

Any suggestions are welcome!  Thanks  :)

Is this a female costume?  As part of the revamp that allows for asymmetrical torso and hip patterns and for asymmetric gloves, all of the costume pieces were replaced with duplicates to work in the new system.  To keep from current costumes breaking, all of the old parts still exist in the system, but are no longer accessible by the costume creator, since in the costume creator you now have to use the new parts that allow for the asymmetry.  Jagged has been working on a tool that can be run on your saved costume files to convert all of the names to the new pieces so that it will just load up smoothly.

Yes, it's with my female toons...across the board.  Thanks for the info.  I wish my programming skills were better so I could help you guys out, but they're not up to something as sophisticated as this game.

I'll check the other post your linked.   :)

Once I reloaded the fixed costume, everything seemed to work like a champ.  Thanks!
