Am I right to assume that this will allow redirecting a texture from a model to another texture? I currently overwrote Bandana Big Boss to have his ground zeroes textures but it would be more convenient to simply do this within the model than through the texture0 replacing.

Not it just means exporting a model will export the model with the proper texture names for each piece like head/body/hands. I also made the tool grab the textures for you out of the right folder.
So you don't have to go looking for each texture by hand 1 by 1 it's annoying

Looks pretty far along, any estimate when it will be released?

With Files "77e669ec815e58f.dat" the same, only the File containing the .lua Files work on decryption.
So thats why the Ftex Tools crashed...

The GzsTool crash alltime on the Xbox360 Files.
I just downloaded a Mod for the PC to test the Tool....with the PC Files it worked.
So on my Files the FTEX Tools crashed, since they are crypted

Seams the original Coders are not reading here, maybe i can contact them on GitHub.

So i think i better wait for your Fork, thanks for your work

Just pushed it up to github, https://github.com/emoose/GzsTool/commi ... 364735cbbc

Add support for console/legacy QAR extraction and console FPK extraction/creation

Changes:
- Support legacy QAR formats (version 1 = GZ PC, version 2 = TPP PS3/360, version 3 = TPP PC)
- Add X360Reader / X360Writer classes for big endian FPK support
- Edit FPK classes to use these reader/writers instead of passing streams around
- Detect endianness based on the platform of the FPK and read/write using that endianness automatically

Console QAR and FPK files can be extracted perfectly (maybe 1% of files extract wrong though, unsure why..)
Creating console FPK files also seems to work fine, haven't worked on console/legacy QAR creation yet though.

You can download a compiled version from https://github.com/emoose/GzsTool/relea ... AndConsole

Let me know how it goes

EDIT: Also, the Ftex tools might be crashing because a lot of the console data is in big endian format, and most tools are only written for little endian.

As long as the data format is known it's not hard to swap between them though, eg for developers the X360Reader/X360Writer classes I included in this GzsTool let you switch between them while reading values, which made adding console FPK support to GzsTool pretty easy.
If any devs see this you should consider adding support for console files

Thanks a lot for your work
Your Tool worked now fine for me, no crashing and extracted all .dat and .fpk Files.

The only Problem i see is that the .ftex Files seams crypted to me.
Same Problem as with the MGSV_QAR_Tool, no CryptKey inside the xml and the Header of the .ftex Files are crypted.
For the lua Script's all worked fine, theres a Key inside the xml and all are readable.

Maybe i missunderstand something since im new to this and see here others showing the Textures.
So do i need more Steps to convert the Textures to .dds as extracting the .dat File and use FtexTool or FtexUnpacker ?
(i copy the needed .ftexs Files too before i try to use the .ftex on a Tool)

Heres a Screen of a Ftex Header:


Anyway many thanks and im sure other Coders are happy about your research and sharing

What I wish to see now is Quiet without her stockings all the time
More importantly will I be able now to edit Quiet's skin texture and then repack it into the game? I am attempting to mod something pretty funny/gross to some.

I want this too! Her without her stockings and no boots plus a playable version also. Daaamn I hope someone does this.

you want to play as a naked female? cool story bro

I don't think it's crypted really, looks like it's the endian issue to me, here is an example of a PC .ftex:

You can see that this has FTEX at the start instead of XETF which consoles use, this is because of the endianness that PS3/360 use, since it's a different endian byte-ordering PCs programs would read values in the file in reverse (eg. reading 0x01000000 instead of 0x1, or XETF instead of FTEX), which would probably cause crashes like what you've had.

I'll try taking a look into FtexTool for you now, hopefully shouldn't be too hard to make it endian-aware.

Edit: seem to have FtexTool converting ftex -> dds and vice versa fine for PS3 textures, but 360 textures seem corrupted, maybe some sort of swizzling? Not sure how to get around that..

Edit2: Alright, looks like deswizzling is working fine now, every 360 texture I tested extracted fine anyway.
Haven't worked on re-swizzling them yet though so you won't be able to create/edit 360 textures yet, only extract them.

Download at https://github.com/emoose/FtexTool/rele ... ianSupport

Add big endian FTEX support, add deswizzle option (-sw)

New switches:
- -sw / -swizzle = deswizzle (and eventually reswizzle) the texture
- -be / -bigendian = create an FTEX file in big endian

PS3 FTEX's can be converted to and from .dds fine (use the -be / -bigendian option when converting .dds back to .ftex though!)
360 FTEXs should extract fine if you use the -sw / -swizzle switch when converting .ftex to .dds, luminance hasn't had deswizzling added though so that might not extract properly

Note that currently you won't be able to convert .dds files back into 360 FTEX, until reswizzling is added in.

So to convert PS3 FTEX to DDS you'd just run FtexTool like normal (ftextool blahblah.ftex), but to convert the DDS back into FTEX you have to use the -be switch to create a bigendian FTEX (ftextool -be blahblah.dds)
To convert 360 FTEX to DDS you need to add the -sw switch to deswizzle the texture first (ftextool -sw blahblah.ftex), like said above you can't convert dds back into 360 FTEX yet, but hopefully soon. (when it's possible you would have to run "ftextool -be -sw blahblah.dds", to create a big-endian swizzled FTEX)

Anyone remember that Sahelanthropus bird mod video I posted long ago? Now you can see it for yourselves.

Hey guys I just uploaded a model swap mod for Snake.

Does anyone who did the other model swaps on nexus know how to fix the primaries stuck inside the torso and fix the first person for the binoculars?

MGSV QAR Dictionary Project has been updated, adding an extra ~3000 hashes, bringing the total up to 15091 filenames

I'm hoping more people can test out my console-enabled version of FtexTool too, pretty sure the x360 deswizzle algo is correct for each pixel format, but I haven't really tested it extensively.

Nexus mods comments:
"Can you do this literally impossible mod?"
"Can you tell me how to mess with files I have no idea how to even use the QAR tool."
"I'm going to do this mod but I need someone to tell me how to exactly do this mod."



Love you guys but if you don't know what you're doing please stop. ;^)

thanks for this. it helped me a lot in regards to model replacement. do you think all the lua files have been accounted for in the game? there are some issues with the models that i think is most optimally solved using lua. right now it seems fmdl hex editing is a dead end, not efficient and requires too much from the end user.

I don't like avoiding discussing it, I even got a little upset when people avoided it before doing it myself too. It's just a bit difficult to explain, but not actually difficult to perform. Best I can tell you is that the mesh data ends at the end of an fmdl file, it should make it a bit easier to do honestly.

Also, I tried getting the Quiet thing to work, the problem with it is that apparently her legs are invisible in gameplay despite the mesh being present. This is probably a texture issue, like I said, her legs are present and I removed anything that didn't need to be there but her legs still show up as invisible in-game.

All the lua files in PC qars should be accounted for, but there might be some in fpk files that need a dictionary to look them up, not sure if TPP needs that though since only a few files in GZ did afaik.
There's a few MGO luas in the console qars that aren't named too, but it's doubtful anyone would want to mod MGO anyway.

cra0kalo is making a tool to view fmdls, should hopefully be possible to edit them with it too instead of needing to hex edit.

I know there is another model of her, the Mother Base Quiet (the one in the cell), mabye that model has what we need to get rid of the boots, stockings, and mabye those harness?
