Does anyone have any experience with adding ROB skins over their own new slot?
Here's my problem. Once launched, ROB's gyro stops being part of his animations and becomes an item, textures & models for which are stored in data/item/etc/robotgyro and data_(us_en)/item/etc/robotgyro (they're in both folders because of how ROB's localized skins work). Each skin of the gyro is stored similarly to normal ROB gyro; it goes robotgyro/model/body/cXX. I've been told that though the item model uses the same skin as the model used by ROB himself, you can't just copy the files over, you have to just port the textures in instead of copying the model.nud and model.nut. That's fine, that's easy, I did that.
So I have ROB, I have a 9th skin for him, it loads, the CSS loads, his gyro and gyroholder have the right textures. However, even with files in place for the item gyro in both data and data_(us_en) the gyro is still loading invisible--the same as it was doing when there was nothing at all in the item/etc/robotgyro/model/body/c08 path. The only difference between having the correct stuff in this path and NOT seems to be--now not only is the gyro completely invisible, the game is crashing shortly after I shoot the gyro!
I figured it may be an issue with the textures I made, but I copied c04 and renamed it to c08 and the gyro still displays as completely invisible, and loads nothing.
Is there a param I need to change somewhere regarding ROB's gyro for each new skin? (I'm kind of wary about this too, actually--I wonder if using new skin slots online with ROB could trigger bans like those old incidents of Peach players pulling bombs and getting banned from way back in the beginning? Ehh I can figure that on my own though) Is there ANYTHING I should know about ROB modding, anything I should be doing? Any help would be appreciated, I'm stumped and I hate it. This is the only thing that's caused any hard locks in my Smash 4 modding experience so far. I just want new ROB skins!!!
EDIT: Maybe it's a Sm4shExplorer problem. It seems to be both packing this folder and leaving an unpacked version of the same folder in here? Maybe this packed file shouldn't be getting generated and pointed to? Maybe the gyro SHOULD be getting packed in but isn't?
