OTClient How to Read spr file load a specific outfit and display it as module?

[lukatxd]

Hi guys, I'm designing an ot where the player is a mecha pilot. So to make it more imersive, I've thought of adding a crew/navigators at the corner of the screen.
I can add a navigator png and display it, but I would like it to be less static than that, even have a talk balloon sometimes just like the Ratha npc makes some snarky comments once in a while.

So I made it into a 128x128 outfit with animations which brings me to my current question: How do I make otc load it and display it? I opened the module "game_outfit" but I couldnt completely understand the serverData and how that attachedEffects work

Below is the otc part where it seems to have already loaded the outftis, but I'm not understanding the part where it gets them from the .spr file

function showOutfits()
    window.presetsList:hide()
    window.presetsScroll:hide()
    window.presetButtons:hide()

    window.selectionList.onChildFocusChange = nil
    window.selectionList:destroyChildren()

    local focused = nil
    for _, outfitData in ipairs(ServerData.outfits) do
        local button = g_ui.createWidget("SelectionButton", window.selectionList)
        button:setId(outfitData[1])

        local outfit = table.copy(previewCreature:getCreature():getOutfit())
        outfit.type = outfitData[1]
        outfit.addons = outfitData[3]
        outfit.mount = 0
        outfit.familiar = 0
        outfit.auras = 0
        outfit.wings = 0
        outfit.shader = "Outfit - Default"
        outfit.healthBar = 0
        outfit.effects = 0
        button.outfit:setOutfit(outfit)

Describe in simple language the effect you want to achieve ingame

If you've put it as an outfit, you can just use UICreature (otui) and setOutfit (Lua) just like in the code segment you posted.

In modules/game_interface/gameinterface.otui, around line 46 you will see the gameMapPanel, all depends on whether you want to anchor it to the actual game window, or the bottom left of the client viewport, you can create the UICreature around here, and create a global reference to it in gameinterface.lua so you can access it/change the outfit looktype from other modules.
