System Requirements

GTA Vice City PC Version.
Cleo v1.1.1.6 for GTAVC. (May work with, but not tested with previous versions)


Usage

Install the script (one only) and the fxt file.
Press 'S' to rotate through available skins.


Installation


1. Place either VCSC.cs OR VCSCSS.cs, NOT BOTH!, in your Vice City CLEO folder.

 a. VCSC.sc will cycle through 72 standard playable skins.

 b. VCSCSS.sc will cycle through all 72 standard playable skins and 5 special skins.
 If you wish to use the special skins you MUST load 5 txd/dff playable pairs
 to the MODELS\GTA3.img file and name each pair as SSKINA, SSKINB, SSKINC, SSKIND,
 and SSKINE(ie. SSKINA.txd and SSKINA.dff), using a tool such as Txd Workshop.

 If the txd/dff pairs (skins) are not added or correct, the VCSCSS script will
 fail at number 73 (right after the Aqua Dress Girl), and the game will have to be
 terminated forceably.

2. Place the VCSC.fxt file in the CLEO_TEXT folder. This files string values can be edited
 to whatever you wish (for example the Special Skins names), but DO NOT change the Keys
 (VCSC0 - VCSC77).

3. Run the game.

NOTE
Addtional Keybindings Scripts and Text Files Released:
If you need a different keybinding, instead of 'S', use either the
 *_X files for the 'X' key OR (VCSC_X.cs OR VCSCSS_X.cs AND VCSC_X.fxt)
 *_1 files for the '1' key OR (VCSC_1.cs OR VCSCSS_1.cs AND VCSC_1.fxt)


Known Issues


1. After changing to a skin, if you go into a clothes icon and switch to the new skin
 (clean clothes) then try to switch skins again, the game freezes. I have found that
 entering and exiting a vehicle after changing skins or before changing clothes via the
 icon prevents this issue.

2. If you save a game with a selected skin, it will save fine and the skin selection is
 also saved in the save file. This is good. But, sometimes, if you go to load and load
 the saved game without restarting (quit and relaunch) the game hangs. I have found that
 entering and exiting a vehicle before trying to load helps to prevent this issue.

3. The script(s) is set to load 3 seconds after a saved game loads. This works fine for me.
 You may need to change this if you system is slower. Also, DO NOT have the script active
 when starting a New Game. It will hang the game. Save first instead, then set the script
 to be active, then load the saved game. I believe this is because of the time it takes for
 the intro scene to run.

4. If you save with a Special Skin loaded and then remove the Special Skin from the GTA3.img
 file, the saved game will not load. To fix, just restore the skin to the GTA3 file
 (any playable skin with the correct name will work).
