Read this for general knowledge. http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Lng2_File_usage Use my crude lang_dictionary.txt (made from just ripping all strings from the lua files): https://mega.nz/#!vIkRETAb!fGqS3IaQAv8GqOwzWuz82_szMgCOVY5UeCCfx5-ytmM With the latest lang tool: https://github.com/Atvaark/F...

Getting there: https://youtu.be/Kx2_cjmPEG0 Model swapped the main afgh soldiers model and using the related fovas. The soldier game object uses a different system to show/hide the enemy prep equipment though (helmet/cap,nvg/nvg mount,gas mask,light body armor). A workaround would be if someone coul...

Yeah, sorry, Player.ApplyFormVariationWithFile(fovaFilePath) is the one. For my test, as mentioned hospital already had fova files in it's pack, for scarf I just grabbed the fova files from the cutscene fpk (sna0_main1_v00.fv2 is the mask) and jammed them in the plparts_normal_scarf.fpk There's a co...

Using the mentioned cutscene fovas: https://youtu.be/xTDMDrVo4Ec
You'll see the tiger camo is part of those fovas settings, and they're specifically for the scarf model/sna0_main1 , giving the fova function a fova that doesn't apply to the current player model will crash the game.

It's a bit of a long shot to ask, but does anyone know how to make models that appear invisible in normal gameplay inside of an fmdl become visible? I'm talking about items like Skull Face's mask and Venom Snake's scarf. Swapping their models onto the player has these models invisible but they are ...

Got some pretty good camera mod results going: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3ZWM31fRl8 Download: http://www.nexusmods.com/metalgearsolidvtpp/mods/258 Though I think the scripting behind it is pretty primitive at the moment. I can't find enough of the 'PlayerStatus' variables, aside from the bas...

Here's my current efforts at deminfying the data luas. https://mega.nz/#!yBdQjBCL!DOqEDvZZ1m_KaTPgYoPBAxdpgj1IjBCoEdYqhG7Z4OE Can't guarantee I haven't added more bugs, you'll also have to cull out any of my mods code which is marked by '--tex' This is a combination of a cruddy powershell script to ...

Does anybody know how to display custom messages in the log? I found the function; it's TppUI.ShowAnnounceLog(). I can get it to display the messages that are already in game, i.e. TppUI.ShowAnnounceLog("fobRivalArrive") shows the "Rival Arrived" message. I can't figure out wher...

https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1443449&p=49336023&viewfull=1#post49336023 You're saying the fmdl file stores hashed texture names? Given that many original/pre-hash texture names have been discovered, I suppose your tool tool rehashes them? Or do you have to extract the textures wit...

As a point of reference:
The latest patch 1.0.6.0 changed the override order of the patch archives.
So when the engine is looking for a file it loads first found in archive:
00.dat then 01.dat then original game archives.

Trying to figure out if somethings wrong with the 1.0.4.4 patch or if it's just me. It didn't actually download the update so had to use the steam betas/version selector, shows up at bottom of list, and selecting it gets it ok, the steam forums topic says it's the official release, yet switch back t...

Nice, and I already was provisionally using LangId as the attribute name for my new lng2.xmls, just need to delete my old manually transcribed keys lol. Thanks again atvaark.
