Adding clothes/ Character appearing invisible most of the time

Post by Kiltem »

Hello everyone, I was looking around trying to figure out where to put downloaded custom clothes in the game files, like clubs or shirts or shoes. but couldnt find any info anywhere.

And also, my character standing at the Tee is invisible, anyone know why? I have no custom clothes applied yet. so it shouldn't be related to that.

My files are in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Links 2003\PolyAni

but I can't guarantee it would be the same on your PC.

Welcome!

You didn't supply much info so I'll have to give you back way too much to maybe cover many of the possibilities. First, a guy with the name "Big Sexy JC" just finished a stint of over 2 years re-doing all the Ani's and their clothing. Read the posts in the following link:

viewtopic.php?t=1977

That takes care of the shirt, I hope. Now, the invisible golfer. Probably a missing file, but which one? Create a new golfer. Choose a different animation than the one you chose before. Same problem?

The Forum I sent you to is where your answer lies. For the animation, you have .l3 animations ("ghostly.l3" is an invisible golfer), .ibo files, .PIN files (which should have a file with: "your-player-name".PIN), and .jpg files for player's pictures. Files are located in these folders: /Links 2003/PolyAni/ and c:/Program Data/Links 2003/Players/. Your files could also be in some virtual area created by MS. Post if you have trouble finding the folders.

Look these over and see what you need now.

Thank ya'll a ton! One more question if I may, how do I add a club set? I've located the clubs file an downloaded the 2019-2020 taylormade set, but where do I put all the files? Just inside "clubs"?

Make sure it is a club set .L3 file rather than an individual club type .TGA file (individual club type files need to be arranged into a club set file with the Golfer Utility).

Put the .L3 file in the PolyAni\Clubs folder yes, then you will be able to select the clubs within the Create Player or Edit Player menus within Links.
