Well, I was (sort of) able to get Monica's clothing changed in the story. Unfortunately I am only able to use the custom clothing that laissemoirire created, as his are the only models I can find that have a pack attached for use in stories. I was *really* hoping to figure out a way to convert this dress into one that can be used on Monica in the story:
REZ_Dress02
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4060But nothing I tried works. I was hoping maybe you could simply copy the files from the plugin directory to the appropriate directories within the story like so:
Move .obj files into ../scenes/character7/
Move texture files into ../scenes/textures/cloth/
Move .dat files into ../state/monica/
and then change the appropriate entries in her init.dat file to load the new dress
But the game crashes when it tries to load her, and gives an error in trace.txt (I should have saved the trace log error, I can replicate it if someone wants, but it was something like "failure to load REZ_Dress02_Monicashape.obj" or something similar to that.
My question: Is there a way I can convert clothing that others have made so they can be used in a story? Is this done in Maya? I'm not finding any tutorials on how to do get clothing working in a story, almost all the tutorials I can find are for the plugin system for use with the Fast Sex dungeon--which is great, but not quite what I need...
I currently have reverted Monica's clothing back to the default until I can figure this out. I've successfully gotten Monica wearing laissemoirire's crop top, lingerie set, and long skirt in the story, but that's not really business-like attire and we all know Monica is a high class businesswoman, after all

If worse comes to worse, I might just change the texture on her dress, give her the lingerie set, and call it good.
EDIT: Ah! Wait, I just found a tutorial that I think Eskarn posted on the wiki on how to do this. Can't believe I missed it, I could have saved myself like 4 hours last night haha. I didn't see it linked directly in his Eskarn's Tutorial's thread, but found it on the wiki here:
