Really? that's awesome!

I had thought (not having tried, but just from what the gxthook readme said) that the gxthook would only add new entries for CLEO scripts to use, I didn't realize that it would redirect existing entries

Since that one turned out to be easy, maybe you can help with another problem I have:
What I need is a script that will load a file that works in the same way as clothes.dat - I discovered the hard way that clothes.dat just doesn't work anymore and causes crashes when it becomes too long. essentially, the part of the function I need is where it replaces CJ's head with a different DFF (keeping the same TXD) depending on if he has another DFF loaded, and replaces that different DFF with yet another DFF when in a cutscene. Here is the relevant code excerpt from the clothes.dat file that I wrote that was too long and caused a crash (if a CLEO script were to take care of this function, it would bring my clothes.dat file within limits so it wouldn't crash anymore):

END CODE

Note that it is very important that the change happen before the next animation is loaded, because in the case of the cutscene versions of the DFFs there is a different animation skeleton, so if the animation is loaded without the proper DFF being already in place there is a crash. For test purposes, the first beta of my mod available here has all the relevant files though the clothes.dat file included in that release has had many features from the code above stripped in order to keep from crashing.

Thanks a ton, I hope you can help because I've been banging my head against this problem for the past six months.
