How to Make a Basic Change to an Item's Tuning

I would have to look at the items in question to know what the specific issues are. The answer I gave was in relation to using bar tuning on a mirror item and may not be relevant to the items you made.

The thing with intermediate-advanced tuning mods is that they're all a sort of one-off deal in terms of how to go about doing them, and there is no list of general steps to take that is going to automatically work with every tuning project or rules that govern how a project should be approached. Each project is basically unique, and how to complete it will depend on what you cloned, what tuning you use, and what you want the final item to be. While there may be more than one way of accomplishing the desired outcome, each particular method requires an examination of the components involved and a determination of the project requirements. This is to say, in order for someone to help, quite often they'll have to dig so far into the project that they've essentially recreated it themselves.

Why does my s4s not have the object tuning option, and my xml only goes to about 106, so no super affords. I'm going to re download s4s.


I've redownloaded it. It still doesn't have the object tuning option :( I'm using Jackpot.

First of all: Thank you for this and all the other tuning tutorials. They have been a great help already. However I started a little project of my own and ran into series of riddles.

While the basegame books will transform into those cute little displays when placed on a retail-counter, all of the books added by expansion and gamepacks will only display the cover of the mixology book. I would like for the Herbalism skillbooks to actually show the Herbalism covers. For that purpose I created a Herbalsim bookdisplays (a thin one for the starting level and a generic one for intermediate and advanced level) and am currently pondering how to connect the books with the displays.

The lines in the tuning files responsible for the switch are the following (My example is taken from the intermediate Mixology book):

<T n="key">115768<!--displayComponent_Values_SmallQuantity--></T>
<U n="value">
<V t="apply_new_value" n="geometry_state">
<V n="apply_new_value" t="set_to_custom_value">
<T n="set_to_custom_value">mesh_gS_single</T>
</V>
</V>
<V t="apply_new_value" n="material_state">
<U n="apply_new_value">
<V t="set_to_custom_value" n="state_name">
<T n="set_to_custom_value">Cover01</T>
</V>
</U>
</V>
<V t="apply_new_value" n="model">
<V n="apply_new_value" t="set_to_custom_model">
<U n="set_to_custom_model">
<V n="model" t="from_definition">
<U n="from_definition">
<T n="definition">84024<!--bookDisplayGENskill_01 (bookDisplayGENskill_01)--></T>
</U>
</V>
</U>
</V>

What I don't understand are some of the variables:

bookDisplayGENskill_01 is the skillbook display, but I don't have an idea where the number 84024 comes from. I would assume it to be a tuningid, but bookDisplayGENskill_01 does not have a tuning or tuningId, it isn't the defition ID of the object either which is 14838 - so what is it and more importantly: Where would I find it?

Cover01 probably refers to which diffuse image to pick from the DisplayGenskill_01 model, but I cannot find any reference to it in the data of the bookdisplay. Neither do I know where the mesh_gS_single is coming from.


Have you solved this? I am currently finding way to correct some of the skill books and I would like to know how.n
