I put my mystic armor graphics into the game, and ran into some problems implementing the paperdoll graphics. First of all, here's a picture of what happens:
As you can see, the male paperdoll for some reason has the female torso section on top of the male torso (not to mention on top of everything else). At least the female paperdoll works better, but neither of them display the arms anywhere.
As far as I can tell, I set up the shapes precisely the same as armor paperdolls already in the game. The paperdoll shape has eight frames, with the first two being female and male torso, and the remaining six being different arm poses with male and female alternating. The armor shape itself has the Obj Paperdoll checked and pointing towards the paperdoll shape with Translucent and Gender-based ticked, and the position set as Torso.

Re: Further paperdoll trouble
I remember these graphics! I'm not sure where I put them, though. I had the same trouble when I tried to put these in game, but I never was able to figure it out unfortunately.
I'm inclined to think it's an Exult/Exult Studio bug since I pretty much duplicated a SI armour that did work.

Re: Further paperdoll trouble
The arm frame is setup wrong. The female body frame is being used for 2 handed arm frame.You would have to compare it to the other armor obj paperdoll tab. I think it is ES since I can't seem to edit alternate frames and they are displayed as zero on magic armor. Unfortunately, without your files I can only make logical assumptions.
In paperdol.txt it should probably look like
:itemShapeNum/-1/1/9/0/1/paperdollShapeNum/0/2/4/6
I've always added paperdoll information manually following paperdol_info.txt in the [ur=http://exult.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc ... ision=6232]source[/url] and SI paperdol.vga examples. It wasn't editable in ES for quite awhile.
You can copy all the formatting comments to the file you currently have in your patch folder. Unfortunately, ES will overwrite the comments and spacing when saving. You might be able to put the file in the static folder though.

Re: Further paperdoll trouble
Alternate frame editing for ammo, rings, and torso slot should be working once Kirben updates the snapshot.
