[Help Needed] Changing an Items Equipment Slot

[SgtLovejoy]

I'd like to change the armor slot used by a particular item from Body Garment to Body Chainmail. I've identified equipment_slot.xml as the file that lays out what the available categories are, but have been unable to determine where exactly each individual item has its equipment_slot category defined.

 

What I'd like to do is change the various quilted pourpoint coats from the normal garments slot to the chainmail slot like the Brocade Pourpoint that Hans wears. That way you can actually wear them as an outer garment over a shirt as the description indicates should be possible. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

You need to modify the "armor_archetype_id=" in clothing.xml file. "67" is for scarfs and hoods "10" an "11" for body plate etc. That's the way how I made it I don't know if there is an easier way. It's a bit of a trial and error I don't know the exact values.

 

Also clothing.xml file doesn't contain the "item_id" so you need to get the "clothing_id" of an item first from the armor.xml file.

After finding the right id in armor_archetype.xml I managed to get it to work. Thank you for your help!
