Showing all CC needed

[deevo]

Good morning ,

 

You made a great finding!

If a Sim is wearing the third hair color swatch, let's say red, and that swatch does not have a thumbnail, then your program sometimes says that a mod is missing.

If the swatch exists, a missing thumbnail should not cause an object to be reported as missing, so there is probably a bug and I may need some samples to work on! 

 

I'm also considering to add support for images to the Details Mode so that they could be embedded in the look book and imported later.

If you are not aware, the Details Mode allows my program to store valuable CC infos, like name, description, creator and url.

Oh yes I am aware of the changes you've made to the Beta Version

As I tend to perfection how could I miss it lol.

How, if there aren't any thumbs included? Unless you're talking about already excisting thumbs. Or does my German brains once again misunderstood something ?

I would like the game to create thumbs for all hair color swatches which it doesn't.

When my Sim wears red hair (third swatch), but the first thumb is showing black hair, then your program will only show the first swatch and not the third where the red hair actually are.

ETA:

Just come to thinkin' that maybe the very first hair swatch is linked to ALL swatches. I have to do some editting tests with S4S to a hair package to see what will happen if I delete the first thumbnail from warehouse and add my own to each swatch...

Any image added by the user, but by default it will be the existing one if any. 

This way even it can find the CC it will be able to show some thumnbail preview, like it does with description when the CC is not found.

If no thumbnail is found for the current swatch, S4TI try to find the closest one in the same package file.

Each object as their own group, and each swatch has a display index for that group, the lowest one is the main one (5 in most cases).

Aah I see. Thanks for the outpoint

I spend 3 days now editting CC's adding thumbnail frame overlays to each temporary game created thumbnail icons such as clothing, jewelry, shoes, makeup etc.

just so your program would'nt say missing mod

If you have an example where this happen, I would be very interested to see what is causing this problem.

I have just tested it with a hair package by creating my own thumbs to EVERY swatch. Sadly to say it did not change anything. Only the first swatch is showing as the hair.

ETA:

It's the game that is too lazy to create a thumb for every swatch

Did you try to remove the original one or move your own package so that it appears first when S4TI scans your Mods folder? 

 

S4TI is lazy too!

No, I removed the thumbs from an existing hair CC and added my own thumbs to every swatch just to test if this will make any differences when rescanning the Sim with S4TI but no changes.

I opend the game/CAS again and no changes there.

It will still show only the first black hair swatch in game and S4TI even though my Sim is wearing the red hair which is the third swatch. Oh well.... guess you can't have everything

 

Maybe I didn't make clear enough that hair behave different as far as the swatches goes. With clothing you get the little extra swatch menue showing right underneith the thumbnail. Not so with hair. I guess that is why.

Ah, my bad, I have not launched the game for a long time. 

 

Now I see, the game only create a thumb for the black hair swatch (or the main one) and then use a palette for all other swatches. 

You can browse the localthumbcache with the Image Viewer to see or extract them (use the CAS THUMB filter).

 

So all I need to do is add a box to show the actual swatch color so that you can see it properly in S4TI. 

I still need to fix the main hair if a recolor is located in a different package.

 

Thanks for pointing me out the problem.

That would be great.

 

Thank you for the flowers  -  all your work and time

Um...I downloaded the program you've provided and I installed it by picking english language, but it's in french and no settings for language. Je ne comprends pas lol.

I did figured out what you've said to do, but it still would be nice if the english language would work
