Yes and no. Yes in that gfx/3D artist can create the missing clothing/hats/etc. No in the fact that the GR2 Editor/Viewer currently cannot create new meshes in a GR2 file. I'm slowly working my way to that ability though

How the scripts you mentioned before are pointing to the GR2 clothing items?

Wouldn't it work as for unit's equipments, where item's unique names are used, no matter in which GR2 file they are located, as long as the file is in the correct folder?

In this case, duplicating the existing files and replacing meshes/textures would be enough

The character's clothing and items are located in \data\Characters\CharacterBodyParts.GR2. If the game is only referencing this file and only in this path then your idea will not work. If the game is only referencing this file your idea will not work. If the game is only referencing this path then your idea will work. Make sense I have no clue what the game is doing in regards to this file so you'll have to test and find out

As far as scripting items visible/not visible it's done by this:

Wp:SetBodyPartVisibility("B_Hat05", 1);

Where the item in ""s comes from the CharacterBodyParts.GR2 file. The 1 says to make it visible. A 0 says to make it invisible (hide it)

Yes, makes sense

Looks to me similar to the system used for equipments and crews aboard units. With this model in mind I would say that some testing by someone who is already well experienced with your GR2 Editor, could be worth the time spent in it
