Is there a way to combine multiple CustomShoeDatabase files?

Sat Sep 21, 2024 8:49 am

So I'm looking to install some custom shoe mods (such as this one: https://www.2kspecialist.net/2024/09/nb ... -shoe.html) however, I've already created enough of my own colorways that I'm unwilling to start from scratch and re-create them by hand. I'm wondering if there's a way to essentially copy-paste the data from one file to another.

I came across this thread which shows some relevant information on how the data is stored in the files: viewtopic.php?f=287&t=115705
However, as someone with very little programming experience, the more I stare at the file in a hex editor, the less I understand. I really don't know if this is easy and convenient, or tedious and not worth it, such as if the data for the shoes has to be stored in a very specific order.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's likely that no one has tried to combine these before.

It's not unlikely, it was one of the first things I looked at once I realised the shoe global stuff wasn't working this year.
The format is annoyingly very different to the shoe global info i posted in that thread and I can't work anything out.
I tried copying the file,editing one shoe and comparing the files which I hoped would just be a small section I could copy/paste but no such look.

Me too
Think we will once we get a hook that will load the shoe global from the remote or mods folder
