Saints Row IV weapon_costumes.xtbl

I am currently having issues working on the weapon_costumes.xtbl.

After looking over the file I can not get it to stop crashing. I even pulled out a fresh weapon_costumes from the default location and that one crashes the game as well.

After looking through one of my crash reports in a hex editor type format I noticed the following line "weapon costume parsing". Don't know if that helps any.


EDIT: Btw I'm using ThomasJepp.SaintsRow.ExtractPackfileGUI.exe to extract the files. At the moment I can not tell if its the extractor that is no longer valid or if it is what I previously mentioned

After doing a bit more research on other peoples mods I've noticed their weapon_costumes is significantly larger then the one I'm working on. At this point the error must be on my end and I can only assume that the game has multiple weapon_costume files stashed in different locations.

EDIT: This is the case. I must have taken too long a break from SR modding as I made quite the rookie mistake pulling my costumes file out of the default location. I'll update this post in just a moment so that anyone else who runs into this issue can easily know where they are supposed to go.

patch_compressed.vpp_pc should contain the latest version of everything in it if you understand what I'm saying. Any future modders should always look to this file first to avoid conflicts. After doing a forum search the only other mention of patch_compressed is in this thread which also happens to be in Ask V.

Perhaps there should be a sticky in http://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/forums/get-help-troubleshooting.64/ reminding people about this file. Obviously some of the vets already know this but those of us who came in after SR4's release did not.
