I need your Hat, Hair or Clothing files to finish my CTK GUI.

[OysterMug]

Short version: I'm writing a GUI for CollaTKane 3.2. I have already added support for Toys & Rooms (currently being Beta tested), but I don't have any Hat, Hair or Clothing files to test. Help.
 

Detailed version: It's amazing how one project leads to another. I dreamed up a great idea for a Sequence a few weeks ago, but my idea required two new toys. I hadn't created a toy in a long time, so I had to refer to my own (out-of-date) Toy Tutorial to remember how to do it. That lead to updating my tutorial (written for CTK-2.08 in 2016 which prompted you each step of the way)  to supporting CTK-3.2 (which requires you to hand edit batch files run from DOS... which needs a tutorial unto itself.)

THAT led to me finally getting around to writing a GUI (Graphical user interface) for CTK-3.x (something I've wanted to do for years, but Raistin kept changing his program.)

Over the years, I've made plenty of toys, a couple of rooms, and one hair (that required a lot of help from Berger to complete) that I've been able to base my code on, but I need the source files for a Hat, Clothing, and at least one more hair (the hair I made with Berger was highly modified, so it can't be resized, repositioned or retextured/Activemod in VX.)

My GUI makes Addon creation SO much easier/faster, taking all the guess work out of what you can & can not edit, and no more debugging bat files.

If you can help, please send me a PM with a link to your exported DAE file & textures (and if you have a pre-customized CTK bat file to go with it, even better.) If you are interested in being a Beta Tester, let me know as well. Thanks.

I could never find my way around the command line interface of CTK, the main reason why I never used it. If you can write a GUI that would be great.

It's mostly done.

I only need a clothing object so I can add support for it, and more samples (and people) to beta test.

The GUI makes creating Addons SO much easier! Removes all the guesswork & trial & error out of editing bat files.

I will DM you a DAE file.

I ended up doing this GUI project when I tried updating my (out-of-date) documentation (which I ended up doing only because I needed to create two new toys. Which I ended up doing for a Sequence idea I dreamed up. One thing led to another. )

The GUI is almost complete (a few more test files and Beta Testers needed), at which point I will release the program. Soon after I will update my old Toy & Room tutorials.

In the meantime, if you can't wait, you can download the old 2016 tutorials here: Toys and Rooms.
