STW/Clothes Catalog Curator

The curator helps server administrators build a small, intentional clothing catalog for STW/Clothes. It is especially useful for multiplayer, where an excessively large arsenal can take a long time to load.

Why use the curator?

Clothing mods can contain thousands of uniforms, vests, helmets, backpacks, attachments, variants, and character prefabs. Putting every discovered item into an arsenal can make it slow and difficult to browse. The curator lets you select only the content relevant to your server.

Understand the two catalog files

• STWClothesFull.json is the complete master catalog created by STW/Clothes on first server start. Keep it unchanged.
• STWClothes.json is the active catalog used by STW/Clothes. This is the file generated by the curator.

First-time setup

1. Start the server once with STW/Clothes enabled.
2. Open the server profile folder: $profile:STW/Clothes/.
3. Open the STW/Clothes Catalog Curator.
4. Use the file picker to select STWClothesFull.json from the profile folder.
5. Choose the source mods that your server uses. Unticked mods do not contribute items.
6. Enable the item groups you want and set a maximum for each. Begin with modest limits for multiplayer testing.
7. Click Generate reduced catalog. The browser downloads STWClothes.json.
8. Move or save the downloaded file into $profile:STW/Clothes/, replacing the existing active STWClothes.json.
9. Restart the server or Game Master session.

Recommended first multiplayer catalog

Start with a small selection: a few uniforms and vests, 10 or fewer headgear items, and a handful of backpacks and accessories. Confirm that the remote-client arsenal opens promptly before increasing limits.

Changing the selection later

Repeat the curator workflow whenever you want a different selection. Always select STWClothesFull.json as the source and replace only STWClothes.json. The curator does not modify your server directly.
