Tutorial for creating clothes

After the "making scenarios and campaigns" tutorial, here is the "clothes" tutorial.

First note : KoPC game engine on clothes is kind of a mess.
So keep in mind I do my best, and the system will probably break & evolve from time to time, and that a lot of stuff don't work at all, for now (like dresses or garterbelt), but could work one day, all the clothes engine is "work in progress".
 Be kind, be patient, be open.

CREATING CLOTHES FOR KOPC.

1) Templates :
Download templates files' pack here :  http://fadrax.enix.org/ren/templates.rar
You got 3 flash source file in it, and 6 screenshots (3 .jpg and 3 .bmp) of the same thing :
- one template for underwears
- one template for stockings & shoes
- one template for pants & shirts

2) Edit and draw :
Edit those flash files (with flash CS3 or any flash-making software), and draw your clothes in place of existing clothes in the file.
Choose the template corresponding to clothes you want to draw, of course : "template_underwear.fla" for underwears, "pants-shirts.fla" for pants and/or shirts, etc...

2 bis) Alternative draw : 
If you don't want/have a software able to edit those files, you can photoshopped somehow the corresponding screenshots contained in the pack.
It's just a harder that way, for me as for you, and will require additionnal work on my side if I want to integrate your clothes, but that can work, as user "Poli Fem" proves it with his own photoshopped clothes (see pictures below).
 So, I prefer edited flash files, but just do as you can, in the end.

Examples of Poli Fem photoshop clothes ! 

What templates to edit look like...

3) Results : 
Send me the result (edited flash template file or photoshopped picture) at mattis.chastan@gmail.com
Like for scenarios or any suggestions, I don't make any promises, but it's easier for sure to include already drawned clothes than having to make everything myself, from scratch, upon a verbal suggestion !
So it just spare me times and increase drastically your chance to have your suggestions included in the game.

4) More clothes : 
Re-download the pack and re-edit original templates as many times as needed to make all your clothes ideas.

5) Special rules :
Drawing rules uses common sense :
- if you want to draw two pants, you will have to edit and send the edited pants template file two times.
- if you want to draw a pant and a shirt, don't lose time editing template file two times : the name is "pant & shirt", just draw the pant and the shirt in the same file !
- if what you draw looks horrible depending on the girl's pose, that's probably not a good idea.
- if what you want to draw need several additions/fixes to templates and don't fit in existing engine, that will probably not be included.
- you don't need to replace everything in the template : if your shirt have no sleeves or neck, don't draw sleeves or neck. If your stocking stop at knees and don't have gloves going with it, stop it at knees and don't draw gloves.
- you can draw long sleeves if needed (it's not in the template but it's possible).
- templates are not similar to the game engine, they are 90% expurged versions of character engine, so keep in mind some stuff that could work in templates could not work well in final game.

6) Miscellaenous
 I can't spend days or weeks to explain or discuss everything not mentionned in this quick tutorial : if in doubt, just try, draw, and send me the result, I will see by myself if that works or not, and edit this tutorial if something comes up.
As for scenarios, I will give you credit everytime I can, but do it for the beauty of having your stuff included or contributing to the game, don't build some moral leverage out of your works to try to push or force me into anything (recognition of some kind or premium status or the hell I know what). It's a bad habit on the web and that works really bad with me. ;)

(meanwhile, I'm still working on the next update for the game, with tons of scenarios contributions from users ! Thanks to them !!)

(regarding finding a new host for this blog (see previous post), it seems tumblr is very open on a lot of stuff. Do some people know their "paypal buttons" policy or rape hentai policy ? If do, please say so ! thx a lot !)
