Sun Sims Forums - The Definitive Hair Binning Tutorial

Nothing bad. You're just doing extra work.

However, if you do the steps where you open up the file and make a list of where they belong, you can just take a peek at the other resources and see if all the files for that style are "black" or "custom."

Hm, does DDO list the bin a hair is in? You could open up the XML output file with WordPad and check if it does...

Yep!

Code:

  <packages ptype="HairRecolour" isOrphan="false" isBroken="false" ptype2="2">

    <filename>wind_hairsimplevictorian_black.package</filename>

    <title>Hair Recolour</title>

I think unbinned hair comes up as "Black," "Custom," or with a blank catalogPlacement tag.

BTW, I think Greg ruled that technical questions could be added to existing threads without fear of necromancy.
