APR base.xls

Defines base appearances, such as "Hurlock - Normal", used by the creature editor.

This Excel document has only two worksheets; APR_base and _Creature_Types. Most of the detail is in the APR_base worksheet, _Creature_Types merely lists the basic creature types that are used in the "CREATURE_TYPE" column of APR_base.

The columns of APR_base are:

Column	Type	Description
ID	int	A number that uniquely identifies the entry (unless creating an M2DA override). ID numbers are listed from smallest to highest within a given file but do not need to be consecutive.
LABEL	[[ (2da type)|]]	the name of the appearance type, as seen in the toolset when selecting appearance type for a creature.
STRING_REF	[[ (2da type)|]]
MODELTYPE	[[ (2da type)|]]	sets whether the model is set up to allow interchangeable parts for customization. There are four types of model: Simple (S) - Model with only one mesh. Welded/Baked (W) - the creature has its own weapon and cannot equip new ones. Wield, Head (H) - The creature's head is a separate mesh that can be swapped with other meshes. Parts (P) - a fully customizable model that accepts parts such as gloves, boots, and armor. The player races have examples of this kind of model.
MODELRACE	[[ (2da type)|]]	not sure what this one does. E for elf, D for dwarf, H for human, K for children, N for certain NPCs, and C for a wide variety of other creatures. Appears to match the first letter of the model name.
MODELNAME	[[ (2da type)|]]	The name of the model file used for this appearance.
PlayHumanoidAnimations	[[ (2da type)|]]
MODELGENDEROVERRIDE	[[ (2da type)|]]	Gender is important for loading the models ssociated with an apperance type. Gender will be used as the second letter in the resource. For example: HM_ARM_HVYa corresponds to the armor for a human male. CN_BDY_HLKa is the body for a neutral hurlock. Gender usually comes from the designer toolset. But in some cases only one gender is supported from a model perspective. The letter in this column will be used in those cases to override designer data when loading models (note that this is only used for loading models everywhere else the selection in the designer toolset applies). Valid values are M, F, or N. If you don't want to override the gender (allowing it to be defined in the toolset) use "****".
