This file determines the different robe models available in the game. These are special armor appearances which replace one or more parts of the usual body piece as one complete model (rather than replacing separate body parts as per usual armor). The ones it does not replace are left as the usual unclothed arms/legs etc.
Robe Functionality
You have 1 robe model per line, which is by the ID number, eg robe line ID 1 will be the models ending "robe001.mdl". Each robe needs to be made for each phenotype which can be a tad annoying, for instance XXXrobe003.mdl has:
- pfa0_robe003.mdl - normal human female
- pfa2_robe003.mdl - fat human female
- pfa3_robe003.mdl - mounted normal human female
- pfa5_robe003.mdl - mounted fat human female
- pfa6_robe003.mdl - joust mounted normal human female
- pfa8_robe003.mdl - joust mounted fat human female
- And the same variants of phenotype ID number for:
- pfd - female dwarf
- pfe - female elf
- pfg - female gnome
- pfh - female halfing
- pfo - female half-orc
- pma - male human
- pmd - male dwarf
- pme - male elf
- pmg - male gnome
- pmh - male halfing
- pmo - male half-orc
- This is 72 models in all - for one robe!
If you're not having horses you could ignore the mounted variants (which are typically just renamed normal ones by the looks of things).
As per the current default 2da lines can be blank just fine, although the ACBONUS column determines if they are usable lines (lines 1, 2, 7, 8, 9,m 22-29 and 34 are all functionally unused - only robe001 has any model in the game, and it looks like the same one as robe003 but with no textures) see below for details. By default there are 11 robes in the game, but as noted in ACBONUS details the order is made arbitrary by that column (so 001 is not line 1 in the 2da file).
Line 0 seems to be unusable - the line is defined relatively correctly but no robe000.mdl model exists and if one did it isn't necessarily true it'll load anyway and is likely just the default "no robe" ID number.
2da Columns
| Column | Example Contents | Valid Values | Description and Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ID | 1 | Line ID integer | Noted here as per above it identifies the MDL to load |
| COSTMODIFIER | 0 | Unknown | Presumably a cost modifier for the robe. Given the value is left at 0 in Bioware's existing ones not sure it works. Edit this if it does. |
| ACBONUS | 2.50 | Float | A robe model will show up in toolset only if the ACBONUS column from its corresponding line (model slot) of parts_robe.2da is not blank. It must be filled with any float. Negative numbers are allowed. If you enable a model slot for which you don't have a .mdl file, it will still appear in the toolset. The appearance will depend on the other columns. The order in which each robe is shown at the appearance list in toolset is determined by the ACBONUS number you input. They appear from lowest to highest. That means, robes with lower ACBONUS will show up first. If two or more lines have equal ACBONUS, they will appear consecutively in the toolset in the same order as they were added in parts_robe.2da file. That means, the numbering in the toolset appearance list may differ from the model slot number. Note: the AC class of the armour piece is still governed by the "Torso" piece, not this column, which just makes it a toolset interface sorting column - but frustratingly the toolset simply lists the robes as ID numbers which...never match this column unless you renumber them and use every line! |

The item can still have such appearnce parts set in the toolset (or via. scripting) but functionally they won't do anything in the game. This means for instance if your robe only comes down to the knee you could hide the biceps but not the legs. If it covers the entire legs just hide everything but the feet. The names should be obvious and even can reference the head piece, unused by Bioware however. |
