    Do what? You'll have to be more specific.



    Make sure you are using the right codes. Even though the picture has males listed first for example, the first code box is female hair. As for eyes, if you're trying to change the eye style that can't be done. If you're trying to give it earthguard eyes make sure you are using the right code. It's different for males and females.




    The old classes can get the new classes hair, just make sure you are using the right codes. The Earthguard females may be first in the picture for example, but I may made them the second code box. Can't remember off the top of my head but that's why I labelled them.




    The main reason I told people to copy and paste is because I want them to get experience moving and copying ini files around. That way they can for example take a venomancers look, copy it, and give it to a blademaster. If you know where all the files are and what class is what rather than just saving it in the preset doing such things become second nature. But yes, that is also an acceptable way to get an after file. It's important to have both files so that you can revert back to an earlier look should you make a mistake. :)

    Also body modification is NOT allowed, at all.

    First of all, thanks ever so much for this detailed guide Venus, it's amazing!

    I was just wondering, when using the male hairstyles on female characters, is it possible to change the size of the hair in any way? It's the first time I'm trying this, and I've found that the size of the hair is way too big to fit on the female head. It's like it's floating above and around my character's head, and it's not attached at the forehead, so it looks kind of silly. I've only tried with a female archer so far, so I don't know if it's just with that preset or what, but I was hoping you'd know more about it.

    I attached an image of it, to make it a bit clearer, though it's still hard to see since you can't actually rotate the image yourself.

    Cute can i get code for eye pls :)

    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

    Okay so I was wanting to make a tiara-looking headpiece on my wolf barb, doesn't seem like that'd be possible though? (I'm very noob at .ini editing)b:sad


    Anyone got an idea if this would be possible or if it'd just look like ****?

    It is possible, but the problem is that a barbs head is much larger then the regular human sized head, so only part of the tiara would show....so it might look like ****. There is a post in here somewhere with a barb wearing all the headgear. I'll have to find it.

    I was wondering if there's any other location on the computer that the customise folders may be located? I'm on a different computer than normally, and although the location for the whole PWI folder is the same (under C-drive and so on), the customise folder doesn't save presets, and is missing a lot of sub-folders, like 80 and 91. There's also a similar problem where screenshots only save if I run the game from patcher.exe, not elementclient.exe.

    So I hopped on elementclient and created a female seeker preset. I saved it and can access it like normally in-game, but there's not folder for it anywhere on the computer. When I then instead ran the game from the patcher, the preset was gone and even the "default" character that loads up when creating a new character was reset, even though I changed it to my newly made preset on elementclient. Back on elementclient the preset's sitting there still, but I can't access it.

    To my untrained eye it seems that the elementclient and patcher don't share the same base installation folder, but at the same time they still share the same userpics folder, as the picture I used for inspiration was regardless which exe I ran the game from. I'm just so confused, and I just really want to access the notepad version of that preset so I can change it manually! Any ideas of where it might be? Has to be there somewhere since the preset's saved...

    Sorry for the long confusing add, but the thought of uninstalling and reinstalling the game is a bit overwhelming on a slow internet speed. Took 10 hours just updating the sirens patch so any idea or thought or hunch of what might be wrong I'd be happy to hear!

    Thanks in advance.

    o.O Can you post a screenshot of what you're doing? To take a screenshot of your screen either use the snipping tool in windows vista or later, or hit prtsc (print screen) button. Then upload it to a photosharing site, like tinypic or something.

    Just a quick warning about gender swapping hairs. Female hair is too small for male characters, and clips through the head in the same way that hair/hats clip through barbs. Males hair is too large for females and most of it looks terrible however, there are several hairstlyes that look great if you edit the forehead to make the hair fit. The male hairstlyes you want to be going for are ones with large hair that frame the face. Something similar to this would be ideal:

    When using Earthguard skin texture on a Tideborn you will almost never be able to match up the skin colors especially when the colors are light.

    As stated on the first page, you cannot put it on an existing female character. You cannot click the preset. It's only new characters, and can only be edited if you're not trying to switch presets and such. You change the genderless preset, go to create a character, and then do nothing but change what is already on the screen.

    Wonderful thread!
    I am overwhelmed by all the customization options. I am slowly reading through this entire thread (and others). This is really helpful, thank you!

    Does anyone have a reference or guide they use for proportions? Or is it just intuition? I've been reading through the "rate my character" thread, and proportions is something that is brought up often. And I know that customizing your character is all about what you like, but I think reading up on this would be interesting.

    What I mean to ask is if there's a guide out there telling you something like:
    "Don't use X for eyes unless you have B face, they're too wide". Or "The horizontal distance of your face must be 1.25x the size of your eye length." (yes I'm making this up)
