You would be thinking , great i can do a search for 13250400 or for 7F7F7FFF to locate this byte easy, but nope, you cannot, and the reason i already gave it to you, the twin bytes values can and will change and the 13250400 only appears once per model, i wont explain the reason why there are two In this model rigth now, in the advanced guide you will discover why this is happening here, the important area to focus is the texture byte caller, this texture byte will be the same for every one we can find in this model because is a single mesh and thus recieve the same material/poligon properties for the whole model (if this model were constructed by many pieces each body piece would have diferent material/poligon properties byte values for each piece), this eases our work since this value will remain constant whit the only variant of the texture number wich is being called.
Using this at our favor we should make a hex value search for 0834, and then by eye check if the byte where we landded follows the texture byte estructure, showing the value in the third pair of bits into a aceptable range of thexture number (from 00 to 04 in this case since claire body only uses 5 textures) and finishing whit the value 40 on the 4th pair of bits, if any of this two rules break, it means that byte is not a texture caller and we can proceed to do the next 0834 value search.
