This tutorial will teach you how to replace an existing long T-shirt design with your own custom design.

Note: this is easier than adding a new design, which is not covered here.

Preparations

CAUTION!  You will be modifying the original GlobalClothing 
age files.  If you make a mistake during this tutorial, you may
corrupt the game files, preventing URU from running.  So, MAKE
A BACKUP OF YOUR URU FOLDER! (At the very least, make a copy of
all the GlobalClothing* files within your URU's "dat" folder.)

Next, you will need to download and install the following software:

Creating Your Own T-Shirt Textures

TO DO: describe how to do this

For now, you can use the Mysterium 2008 T-shirt textures found in this zip file (Mysterium08ShirtTextures.zip) for the next step:

  • icon_m08shirt.dds (the T-shirt icon that appears in your closet)
  • m08shirt.dds (the T-shirt texture)
  • m08shirt_tintmask.dds (the mask that tells URU which portions of the shirt can change color)

Replacing An Existing T-Shirt Design

We are going to replace the Riven long T-shirt design for this tutorial.

  • Start PRP Explorer v6.
    • If it asks you whether you want to unpack and decompyle your Python files, click "No".
  • In the list of ages on the left, locate the GlobalClothing age and click on the "+" next to it. You will see a list of the age's "pages" (or PRP files).

File:Tshirt 01.jpg

  • Locate the "Male" page in the list and click on the "+" next to it. You will see a list of the Male page's object types.

File:Tshirt 02.jpg

  • Locate the "MipMap" object type in the list and click on the "+" next to it. You will see a list of the MipMap objects (i.e. textures). Note: since these textures have long names, you will need to move the divider over to the right until you can see the whole name.

File:Tshirt 03.jpg

  • The first texture that we will replace is the Riven T-shirt icon. Locate the "icon_mtorso_tshirtriven&2A20#0.hsm" texture and right click on it. On the pop-up menu that appears, choose "Replace Image".

File:Tshirt 04.jpg

  • In the file browser that appears, double-click on your T-shirt icon DDS file (e.g. icon_m08shirt.dds). This will replace the Riven T-shirt icon with yours.
