We continue doing this (copying the txt value, going to specified offset, overwriting, and changing to negative the sixt byte value, untill all the values are overwritted whit the txt ones.

Now go to the very end of the file, check up the offset value it display and memorize it in little endian (from rigth to left in pairs of two digits).
In this case my model shows an offset of 546c, so I memorize it.

Reach the top of the file and overwrite our limiter value whit the one we just memorized seconds ago and save your work.

Now open noesis viewer browse to the mdlbuild folder and load PL00_1.nj (wich is the file we just finished editing), if everything went right and you made correctly every step, the model should load whit no issues.

After you check up the model works okay, you can close the txt window, keep the cmd one open, to save or discard the changes in the txt makes no diference as this file won't be used anymore and deleted everytime the tool runs.

As the txt file closes, you will be asked in the cmd window to proceed to patch the PL00_1.nj for mdl compatibility, and to press any key to continue, once the file got patched you will be informed about a PL00.mdp file created, this is our model patch.

It's time to patch our file over the claire file (PL00.ald) inside the SYSTEM folder provided whit this tool.
You can close the PL00_1.nj from the hex editor now, and delete it if you want, (this nj file can't be viewed anymore whit noesis unless unpatched, I didn't included the unpatcher in this mdlbuild release tough..)

Open PL00.mdp and PL00.ALD in the hex editor and set both of them at 54 bytes per row view.

Locate the first bone in the .mdp file starting by the 0F000000 byte at offset 6C and select everything from here to the end of the file and copy it, next locate the first bone in the .ald file starting by the same 0F000000 byte located at offset 80 and overwrite whit the data we copied from the .mdp file.

There will be some data at the end of our overwritted data in the .ald file (as the original claire model used to be there), just fill up all the previous model left over data you find whit zeroes and save the .ald file.

All should be zeroes now from the end of our overwritten model data, up to offset 8838 where a byte whit the value 74000000 starts.
