Spawn Codes (BaseIDs/Hashes)
Item spawn codes and how they link to appearances
What's a BaseID?
Items.money is the baseID for eddies, and the 5000 will stuff 5 grand into your pocket.
Lists of Base IDs
You can usually find any BaseID on the fandom wiki. Search for a game item, then expand the section "technical details" in the box to the right.

From a BaseID to an item's materials

An item's spawn code is called BaseID. It looks like this:
and will be used to spawn items via CET (Game.AddToInventory("Items.Vest_17_basic_01")).
A base ID consists out of two parts. The first one (Vest_17) determines the item, the second one (basic_01) determines the variant.
Finding the files
Head to WolvenKit and search for the first part of the BaseID:
You will find at least one entity file and an appearance file.
If you find multiple files, you need to open the correct one. You can identify those by the folder path: for player meshes, the name of the last folder will contain either _pwa_ or _pma_, and the path will include either that or player.
The .app
Open the apperance file: this is where the item and its variants are actually defined.
To learn more about this, you can check Appearance: .app files
You will see a bunch of appearances:
We only care for _m and _w right now, since they are using different meshes.
