New peggy hairs. They doesn't replace anything

I guess we should be slightly thankful that someone (even if it was Peggy) figured out custom hairs, and now I'll stick to hoping like hell that Nouk is going to make custom hairs for Sims 3.
...Except that Peggy wasn't the first one to figure it out. :) I posted up a flowchart I did a week a week and a half ago, and there is a thread on MTS with screenshots of new non-replacement custom hair from days ago.
As I posted on MTS, she's done it *extremely* amatuerishly, too. Just the basics, to get it to show in game but she's left a whole heap of linkages back to the store hair still.

Upon examination of her free files available, I can see that she's basically modified one of the Store .package files (and in a bad way at that). She's done the absolute minimum needed to make it appear in game.
Problems include:
- Texture Compositors still point to the pre-existing Store content
- Proxy resources for anything except the primary proxy still point to the pre-existing Store content (which is why it doesn't work on anything except normal Sims)
She's basically just gone in with a hex editor and changed group ids from, for example, 0x00AE6C67 to 0x01AE6C67, and so on. It's extremely amatuerish .... but I guess it gets the job done.
The main problem I can see is that the way a lot of these linkages are setup they will not work properly without having the Store hair installed in your game.
Here in the free community, we like to get things right and not have store references littering the package files. Which is why hairs made using my hair creator are totally completely independant from anything else.

Yeah, Delphy, I had a pretty good hunch that someone else had already figured it out for her because she's not that clever (which is why I put "someone"); I just had no idea who came up with the know-how.
zolabee:
It had to be someone who knew what they are doing. The two obvious choices? Pescado or Delphy. But Pescado has been working with AM so heavily that it would be hard for him to take time away from that right now anyway, it seems. And Delphy seems to be working on other aspects. So, go Delphy! It's just a shame that when you figure it out there is even some one like lousy Chinese Peggy that will be glad to "borrow" your work.

Well, so far, Peggy's hairs are making the mod compatibility checker put out by the Indie Stone people violently upchuck.

A couple of those Sim models are fucking scary.... :-X A couple of the hairstyles too.... :D
