This new mechanism simplifies sharing custom textures and models with other players. The old method of implementing these files was to apply an AFP patch to <code>ItemTextureEP4.afs</code> or <code>ItemModelEP4.afs</code> using AFS Manager or another tool to open and modify AFS files. | This new mechanism simplifies sharing custom textures and models with other players.

The motivation for these changes was to provide fixes for some vanilla textures that have cache collisions. A cache collision occurs when the "PSO ID" in the texture .dds or .xvr matches another texture. | The motivation for these changes was to provide fixes for some vanilla textures that have cache collisions. A cache collision occurs when the "PSO ID" in the texture .dds or .xvr matches another texture. PSOBB considers these as the same texture and will use only the first one loaded. | ||

This file allows the nonrare ranged weapons specific to Ultimate Challenge Mode to have matching photon bullets. | The <code>bullets.xvm</code> file provides textures for photon bullets to match all photon colors in the ItemPMT.
