Uniform mods skipping "1"?

[AstroCat]

I noticed in EZ's various mods out there and the variations he always skips the "1" uniform, other modders do this as well. For example: smod_american_m41_uniform 1 is always missing, same for all the other groups and nations. Is there a reason for this? Is "1" skipped if there is a .bmp that has no numbers? Like this:

smod_american_m41_uniform 
smod_american_m41_uniform 2
smod_american_m41_uniform 3 

In modding the sounds we always use the "0"

sound 0.wav
sound 1.wav
sound 2.wav

Thanks!

From some testing... this seems to be the case. Even though in the default files a "1" uniform file is there, it doesn't seem to be used in the game.

So does it work to just rename "1" to a higher number?

I don't think "1" gets used. I marked up some "1" uniforms and checked them out in game... none of the "1" uniforms appeared, all the others did. I am remembering now this is how it works for everything except the sounds. You have the "base" mod, then it goes to "2", "3", etc... the base one become the "1". If anyone knows different please correct me, but I think this how it works.

I noticed this pattern across many texture groups, like vehicles and weapons.

That is correct. I never mess with sound so I was unaware that it is different for sound. I though the '1' is the one without a number was used for all things.

I think all things except sound... we start at 0, 1, 2, 3... for whatever reason it's done a little bit differently.

Yeah, an odd artifact of something no doubt. Might even be an interesting behind the scenes story. :shrug:
