Then two "zero" lines, and a line stating the number of meshes Of the CMX file without extension it must be correct, or the file is The first four lines are always the same. It must contain its own name correctly spelled, or the game will ignore it.Ī simple CMX file, referencing only one mesh, looks like this: Like the SKN file, the CMX file contains its own name unlike the SKN file, The same "wrong" mesh the game ignores the second CMX, or both. Work for two CMX files with the same mesh code both referring to This can be very useful! However, this won't Number in BMF form normally, though, you can put any mesh name you like inĪ CMX file, for instance, "xskin-B300MaFit_flippers-PELVIS-BODYB" in theįile "NMFit_flippers.cmx". I've had a game crash on a CMX referring to a mesh with a different mesh Hand, no texture file is found to match the CMX, the game replaces theĬMX with another one, putting the old string behind a semicolon. Hands if it invokes a "wrong" mesh, the game may crash. Shown, and the Sim may appear headless, or be a head and a floating pair of Unsuitable one, with bizarre effects.) If the CMX in the bodystring of a SimĬharacter IFF refers to a main mesh that doesn't exist, no mesh will be The Create-A-Sim screen, once on its proper mesh and once on a totally The CMX connects two meshes to the same skin, that skin will appear twice in (And if, through an unhappy naming choice, One skin to a mesh, that mesh will appear twice in the Create-A-Sim screen,Ĭovered in two different skins. ![]() If the CMX is so named as to connect more than Mean? It means that, in the case of Sim body and head meshes, if the meshĮxists and the CMX does not, that head or body will not appear as a choice The CMX is an ASCII file (its binary form, found in the game FAR files,Įnds on BCF) which, as said, declares the mesh to the game. Have found that it's the real number of colours which matters, not the image'sĬolour depth skins with more than 256 colours will show up white in theĬreate-A-Sim screen, but a 24-bit BMP that only contained 256 colours was Places that a 24-bit (truecolour) BMP will crash the game, but on my computer It must also haveĪ whole-number width-height ratio 128x128 (1:1) is okay, 128x256 (1:2) is May not be able to display anything with a larger texture. Use anything smaller, 256x256 is a practical maximum as older graphics cards Must be a multiple of 2 32x32 is a practical minimum since you can't really Pixels (standard for bodies), 128x128 (standard for heads), 64圆4 (standardįor hands) or 32x32 (standard for small accessories).

That goes with this mesh, also without extension. Line 2 can be "x" or the name of the bitmap texture The header of the ASCII version looks like this: The binary form of this ASCII file, found in FAR files, ends on BMF. In 3D mesh files, and what joints of the SKN skeleton these vertices will move The mesh name the name of the default BMP to use with it (very handy forĪccessory meshes that have no naming conventions) the vertices, as is usual The mesh is an ASCII file in SKN format, a format only natively supportedīy the shareware modeller Milkshape as far as I know.
