Grrrr I seem to have problems copying the before file into character data file!!??

Copying it from within the folder? Or copy pasting the text from the before file into another file?

An easier way of "copying the before" file is to just save a second preset from within the game before you begin editing. No copying or moving files necessary.

Have you tried the monkey king hair yet? It looks great on lions. b:victory

This may seem like a stupid question, but when I open my

../Perfect World International/element/userdata/customize (or customize1) folders, there are no .ini files in the various folders. In fact, nothing at all. Just a 'dir' placeholder file.

I saved a preset, and nothing populates the male wizard folder anywhere that I can find.

What am I missing?

I found the answer to my own question, and thought I'd share in case anyone else ran across the same thing.

Not sure if it's a Windows 7 thing, but the gender/class specific .ini files for my character were located in a very different path from the normal PWI install directory. They were located in:

C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\userdata\character\customize

Like after I find where the before file is.. Where exactly do I copy it to?
Why am I having so much trouble with this? lol

Just completed a very small edit. Just highlight the file, hit ctrl-c, then ctrl-v. It will create a file called 'copy of before.ini' In the same folder where the before.ini file is. You can then rename that to whatever you want to call the preset.

Open that file to make the changes. Once you click onto a different preset, the one you just made will show up for you to select.

If you still have trouble with BurnWhenIWiz's solution, just save a second ini file from in the game. Save the first one, name it before, click okay. Click save again, save the after, click okay. Then you can edit after without having to copy anything.

The path tends to vary depending on where you installed the game for the first time and between different OS. Glad you found your files.

EDIT: Does anyone know if a female character started with male hair can wear male headfash? <_< I'd be tempted to make a veno for that older hairstyle with the lopsided black hat.

Great with a guide.

But, anyone who know the code to remove the bat like things Veno' get from some presets, like the bunny ears. The case is, I know a Veno who like her general look, but hate bat wings on her head (dislikes the tail too, but not legal to mess with

).

Been reading through this guide and starting on the included links, but is what i'm thinking of possible?

Those are part of the mesh and can't be removed. She can change them to something different though by changing the body id. The bunny and deer ears have no tails.

Very nice guide! Thank you for making it Venus and Jeremied!

I have a question.I figured out how to use male hair on a female toons.The problem is the size.The male hair is just too huge compared to the female head size.So i wanted to ask if you found a good way to " make these hairstyles fit" on the female head? Or are you still in the research phase? xD b:chuckle

Thats how far i've come xD Gonna try to make the hair somehow fit the head....b:surrender

Still in the research phase atm. I didn't think it could be done even until a couple of nights ago. b:chuckle

Venus@

Suspected it to be that way, but being a noob with codes i'll ask before messing up her main char

a second thought tho;

wouldn't it be possible, to take the codes from what she like on the face, and use it on a blank preset without the extra ears and tail?

Like the code for:

Eyes (colors, angle) - unless she want other eyes
Hair (color, style) - unless she wants hair from an other race ofc

and so on, instead of making a long list b:chuckle

Camlost - Sanctuary · October 2012

I would like to know if there is any way to change the wizards eyes to those of a tiger shaped barbs using INI

All venomancers are going to end up with ears though, just like you can't change the fact that the barbs are animals. Same with the elf wings. You can however copy the looks of the character and give those looks to a different class.

The closest you can come is to play around with the eyes until they resemble that of a feline and then change the eye color to yellow.

hmm, strange as she had it witout tail at some point (without INI edits) i can remember wrong tho or a glitch, at least the tail dosn't bother her as much as the bat wings on her head.

another question;

if I edit character31 to change the look of one veno affect the looks of another veno if I got 2 diffrent Venos? Or is the "result" of the approved edit saved somewhere else in the PWI installation?

If you edit one veno you're only changing that veno. If you change the body id of a veno for example, you can change what animal type it is.. If you're referring to the genderless new character inis, it will be the default look of all newly created venos. But you can change it like normal to however you want it to look. I wouldn't leave that preset with male hair though just to be safe. Create your character, save the preset for future use, then revert the default back to normal.

Is it possible for winged elves to get the third eye of EG?

*really amazing guide, even someone who's not techy like me is able to edit my character now \o/

Not the third eye no. But you can get the earthguard eye texture which is an upgrade in many cases from the old eye texture.

Thanks for posting this...I'll be playing around with this later tonight for sure.

C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\userdata\character\customize

following this i get folders containing the names from part 2, if I open 31 Venomancer i get a file called dir like this:

C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\userdata\character\customize\31 Venomancer\dir

must admit that i kinda expected a file with the excact char name, Like a StellaNova file in my 01 Female BM - only got a dir file.

idk if it makes a diffrence if ppl use XP/Vista/Win7 - i'm running WIn7 ultimate

anyways, I think i got the basic idea of how it works. I read it like it was the Genderless files you mention in the male/female hair switch, there was the target for the edit, wich in my mind seem to be a bad thing to edit.

I see it now for me it's more like useing a template in PS like.

Getting some dinner and a few smokes helped a bit i guess b:laugh

The dir files aren't the ini files and those aren't the ones we've been allowed to edit. :P If you have no customization data in there that means you don't have any saved presets in the saved presets box. Just open the client and save your venomancers preset to get a file generated there.

Did you make your venomancer on a different computer. That may be why it wasn't saved.

That's interesting about the male hair. I was wondering how that's done.

Same, i know since a long time it's possible, but i don't know how do it, maybe someone can say how do it, apparently it's really simple.

Those classes cannot wear eye makeup. The eyeshadow is found in eyehightex, seems I left that out before. I'll go add that now, sorry about that.

So we still cant change the mascara on fishys and earthguards?

Unfortunately, no

can switch facial textures, but that's about it.

I have a strange problem. When I pick a color from the chart that's listed. It seems to come out blue. I converted everything back and forth. Seems like my file is reading the beige skin tones from the charts as blue. I put a skin color from my EG, fed up from my char's body being blue. It comes out as a beige, but off color. I plugged the decimal into the color selector and the EG's beige color is apparently blue.

I would like to figure out why it's backwards. I want her face to match the rest of her.

My braaaaaaaaaaain....

I found some of the decimals off that chart are a little whacky. I can convert a hex color into decimal for you ^^ Hold on.
