i do extract the models using fpk tool:HeartlessSeph wrote:Are you trying to swap without using the FPK tool? You need the FPK tool to do swaps, you can't just swap FPK files in the game due to the way the files are read.odrin wrote:are model replacements even possible without hex editing? anyone want to post a basic guide? my game keeps freezing when i attempt to do swaps. i figure it must be some code for the bone or model name inside the fmdl frd or fncp files

in the above, i want to replace the snake fmdl with the dd soldier fmdl. so i'll delete the snake file and rename the dd soldier file. but it seems the dd soldier file is linked to something else?
or maybe i'm looking in the wrong place. do i need to delete the motion folder for the lipsync or something?
edit: i opened up one of those replacements for the sneaking suits pparts_venom. this one is the kaz one, and unlike the original, it has all these files. the one for msf old uniform also looks like this:

those are renamed files right? where do you find them? i find they contain references to kaz, not snake, using notepad++
