Staff open the studio with `/clothingstudio` (the command is `Config.Command`). Who may open it: the ACE `cas.clothingstudio`, or a group in `Config.AdminGroups`. ## 1. Pick a garment Every design starts from one of the game's own garments, so it fits, folds and moves like the original. * Open the **Garments** tab, choose **Men** or **Women**, and filter by piece or search by name. * The pieces: vests, shirts, coats, closed coats, trousers, skirts and ponchos. * Press **Start a design on it**. {% hint style="info" %} A built design keeps its garment. To put the same look on another garment, start a new design. {% endhint %} ## 2. The screen | Part | What it does | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **3D Preview** | The garment, live as you paint. Drag to turn, wheel to zoom, **Front**, **Side** and **Back**. | | **Pattern Sheet** | The flat sheet the texture is made of. **Seams** shows the garment's pieces, **Whole** the sheet. | | **Layers** tab | The design's layers, top to bottom, and the settings of the chosen one. | | **Garments** tab | The garment library. | | **Saved** tab | Your designs: drafts, waiting, live, needs export. | | Footer | Garments loaded, free slots, and whether AI Design is on. | ## 3. The tools | Tool | What it does | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Move** | Drag a layer on the sheet. Corners size it, the red knob turns it. Body pieces drag on the 3D garment. | | **Brush** | Paint on the sheet. Alt + drag pans. Colour and size are in the bar above the sheet. | | **Erase** | Rubs out paint strokes (on a paint layer). | | **Picture** | Adds a PNG or JPG, up to 6 MB. A clear PNG keeps its shape. | | **Letters** | Adds lettering; set the words on the right. | | **Fill** | Click the sheet to recolour the chosen layer, or add cloth in this colour. | | **Pick** | Click the sheet to take a colour. | | **Emblem** | Adds an emblem; pick its shape on the right. | | **Pattern** | Adds a cloth pattern; pick it on the right. | | **AI Design** | Describe the cloth; the AI paints the pieces. | **Undo** and **Redo** work on every step. ## 4. Layers | Layer | Settings | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Cloth** | 16 period colours: charcoal, black, bone, cream, gold, brass, oxblood, red, navy, slate, forest, olive, brown, tan, grey, silver. | | **Pattern** | Pinstripe, Chalk Stripe, Ticking, Banker's Stripe, Gingham, Buffalo Check, Tartan, Windowpane, Houndstooth, Herringbone, Polka Dot, Harlequin. First and second colour, scale, turn. | | **Lettering** | Words (up to 40 letters), type (Lino or Slab), curve, thread colour, outline, width, height, turn, and a finish: embroidered, printed or worn. | | **Emblem** | Lawman's Star, Lone Star, Horseshoe, Cross, Diamond, Ring, Shield, Banner, Heart, Spade, Arrow, Crescent. Thread colour, size, turn, finish. | | **Picture** | Your own picture or an AI answer. Choose another picture, width, height, turn, finish. | | **Paint** | Brush strokes. Clear the strokes in one go. | | **Seams and Stitches** | From the game: keeps the garment's folds, seams and stitches over your design. | Every layer has a **Strength** (how strongly it shows). A lettering, emblem or picture layer goes **On the body** (placed on the front or the back of the 3D garment) or **On the sheet**. Every layer can move **Up** and **Down**, be **Duplicated**, **Mirrored** or deleted. ## 5. AI Design Needs your own key in `server.cfg` (see [Configuration](/script-documentation/cas-clothing-studio/configuration.md#ai-design)). * **Describe it:** write what the cloth should look like, for example *Deep oxblood silk brocade with an antique gold paisley pattern*. * **Quick design:** pick a look to start from (Lawman, Outlaw, Gambler, Rancher, Preacher, Railroad, Saloon, Trapper, Doctor) and the AI makes a fitting cloth for this garment. * **Paint:** the whole sheet, the front only or the back only. **Keep my other layers on top** leaves your lettering and emblems over the AI cloth. * An answer takes about 20 seconds, one request at a time on the server. It is added as a movable layer. ## 6. Save and export **Save** keeps the design as a draft. **Export** builds it into a real game texture: 1. Design saved 2. Texture built 3. Sent to the server 4. Written to a slot 5. Live after the restart The export window shows the piece, its name, its garment and the free slots. A design is one of these: | Status | Meaning | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Draft** | Saved, never exported. | | **Waiting** | Exported; goes live at the next restart. | | **Live** | In the game. | | **Update waiting** | A live design was changed; players keep the old look until the restart. | | **Needs export** | A live design whose files are gone from `stream/`: export it again. | ## 7. Hand it out In the export window, pick one or more: * **Clothing shops:** a price and the towns that sell it (from `Config.Towns`). Players buy it in that town's clothing store. See [Where players get designs](/script-documentation/cas-clothing-studio/clothing-stores.md). * **A job:** free for a job from `Config.Jobs`, from a grade up. * **One player:** straight into the chosen online players' wardrobes. Press **Save the hand out**. You can change the hand out later from the **Saved** tab without exporting again. ## Changing and deleting * A live design can be changed: the change waits for the next restart, and players keep the old look until then. * **Delete** frees the design's slot after the next restart. Whoever wore it wears the plain garment. * There are 400 slots. When every slot is in use, delete an old design first. {% hint style="warning" %} Players see a new or changed design only after a server restart and a rejoin. Never restart `cas-clothingstudio` on its own while players are online after an export. {% endhint %}
