Coding ymt.xml files

[notadoctor]

I was wondering if anybody was able to help me understand this context more? From the research that I have done I have understand the items under "<hash_E2489C4F>" are the 12 components (jbib, uppr, lowr, etc.). I also understand that item under <hash_4A9222A> are the extra textures. However I don't understand what the value aspect means. Then for the lower half, I have an idea which is that those value=1 through value=11 are those also of the 12 components however add how many actually are there, for example: Hair: 0/1

This is some info I found online a while back.

Edit: I don't know what the spoiler tags should look like, not like this apparently. *shrug*

I'm not sure if I missed over it or it was not mentioned, but what is "<distribution value="255" />" referring to, if you happen to know. And also but having the value at 255, doesn't that mean that there would be no texture? So if that is set to 0, that indicates that there is a texture there now or am I completely wrong?

I honestly don't know, I have done very little with Ped editing, I was mainly a script modder when I was still modding the game. I have just collected all kinds of reference info over the past 8 - 9 years, even on topics I don't deal with that much.

 

You'd probably need to find a ped modder for more clarification on this file but as everyone seems to have scuttled off into their own Discord, you probably won't get the info on here.

I picked it up last Friday and have gotten so much more knowledge and even since this post, I went deep diving to find out. Couldn't find anything of distribution however other questions got answered that I didn't even think were going to be questions at the time.
