BEAR Additional Clothing 1.0.2

Take a look at the files in the "EFT\Aki_Data\Server\database\bots\types" directory. These contain settings for the different bot types (by faction), which are stored in separate files for each. There are many parameters of technical content inside, but there are including the appearance, voices, clothing, loot, as well as the chances of spawning all of the included categories.

In the case of items/gear (outfits are items/gear too), their record is not kept in the form of actual names, but in the form of IDs, which can be found on a special site, and in the case of the custom items in the mod files (usually in the settings file).

The process of creating a bot by the game is tied to a random selection of several entries in each category, step by step. You need to take this into account, since the top and bottom clothes are in different categories, hence the set of one type most likely will not work, as a result. Avoiding this, which is obviously possible with only one specific item of clothing per category. Less variability, but one hundred percent expected results.

As a bonus, in this way you can give soldiers of a particular faction armbands of a particular color. I've seen mods like this, but usually you can't customize them. Just specify the ID of such in the desired category and set 100% chance of spawning in the corresponding block. Done.

I want to note that it is important to follow the correct recording format, taking into account all punctuation marks and list structure, the opposite will lead to errors at the stage of starting the server. In such cases, the type of error will be indicated, but usually there is no reference to a specific file, much less to a specific line with an error in it. Don't rush, try adding changes gradually, checking for errors by running the server. No need to run the game itself, just check the status of database importing in the console window.

Mods, affecting the formation of the gear, of course, refer to the same data, but will have a higher priority, and as a consequence rewrite the changes in the original server files, but specifically clothing, faces and voices, they usually do not affect.

Don't have too much fun with editing, because modding may end up taking more time than the game itself. Once you try it, there's no way back.
