Instructions Wardrobe Plus
Version 2.0
Introduction
This document explains how to add your own designs to the Wardrobe Plus Mod.
You need:
The Wardrobe Plus Mod.
The Example-Mod, that can be found inside the Wardrobe Plus Mod.
An image editing software like paint.net that can edit and save .dds files.
A logo/design file with a transparent background.
Note: Most designs are available for both genders and use the same textures files, some
designs are only available for one gender.
After you decide on which clothing-piece you want to add a design, copy the corresponding
_specular.dds, the _mask.dds and the _icon.dds files.
In this example I will be creating a Polo-Shirt with the FS22 Logo on the back, so we need:
textures/PoloShirt_diffuse.dds
textures/PoloShirt_mask.dds
textures/PoloShirt_icon.dds
Step 1: Adding your Logo onto the _diffuse.dds file
Open your logo and the 3 files in paint.net.
We start with the _diffuse file and create a new Layer on top(Ctrl + Shift + N).
Now copy the Logo-File into the new layer. If paint.net asks to expand the canvas, choose
the keep canvas size option:
Now we need to resize the logo and place it on the right spot:
Tip: Holding the Shift-Key while resizing the image will prevent distortion
After we find the right spot and size, we need to edit the _mask.dds file.
Step 2: Editing the _mask.dds file
First create a new layer like before on the _mask.dds file.
Now we need to copy the logo from the _diffuse.dds file into the _mask.dds file:
Next we need to create a selection around our logo. Use the magic wand(Press S) while
pressing the Shift key to select everything around it:
After this, we need to use the Paint Bucket(Press F) and fill the Selection with the paint
bucket:
Now we need to save both files and change the filetype to DirectDraw Surface (DDS).
I recommend renaming the files, so you can create multiple designs, in this example:
PoloShirtFS22_diffuse.dds
PoloShirtFS22_mask.dds
We should now have saved 2 new files, onto the third one.
Step 3: Making an icon
Next, we add the logo onto the icon-file.
Save the _icon File again as .dds file with the same setting as before.
Step 4: Editing the Moddesc.xml
Now we pack our edited Textures into a .zip file and edit the moddesc.
We need to add:
<extraSourceFiles>
<sourceFile filename="WardRobePlus_helper.lua" />
</extraSourceFiles>
<clothes>
<item type="poloShirt" diffuse="textures/PoloShirtFS22_diffuse.dds"
mask="textures/PoloShirtFS22_mask.dds" icon="textures/PoloShirtFS22_icon.dds" />
</clothes>

You can add sleeping designs into your mod/map using the wardrobe_helper.lua. Only if they
activate the WardRobe Plus mod, the Designs will activate ingame.
You don’t need to create multiple mods for multiple designs, you can add multiple variations
of the same piece of clothing(for example 4 different T-Shirts) in one mod, using different
names for the textures.
