MtarTool v0.2.1 is up. Taking Tex's idea, the tool now outputs a hashed_names.txt file which contains any unhashed names and their hashed equivalents. It also now repacks files in the order of their hash which solves a few bugs. Doing a quick test, I was able to add additional animations to player2...

This is the description of all main animation tracks, not the track itself. Also I just published the new version of animation tool that supports PP MTAR files. Checked with .gani files produced by your tool. Oops, my bad! I'll update the readme on GitHub with the correct description. Awesome work ...

Mtar Tool v0.2 is finished! It now supports unpacking and repacking both Mtar Type 1 and Mtar Type 2 files. It should now be possible to swap animations (I didn't try myself yet though). A few notes on Type 2 files: -Unpacking an Mtar Type 2 will produce a .trk file, a .chnk file and .gani files. T...

0x8 - bone groups and bones. you dont need them 0x14 - this is not a header. Animation files here dont have headers, like .gani files did in GZ, because they are not actually needed. I don't see any useful info in them. This data segment at 0x14 is actually a description of main animation tracks. T...

I see you're the same person who tried contacting me on youtube. I'm not visiting it lately and I'm not currently working on MGS. But I'll be back here soon. Do you have all your questions solved? I'm still working on the second Mtar format. I have a few questions about it that you might be able to...

----------------- OPEN QUESTION ------------------- MGO uses a lot of different skins for suits - are they simple pftxs files or is more complicated than that? Anybody have any idea?? The MGO outfits use a diffuse texture for the outfit and skin where the outfit is white. To apply camos, they use a...

That's what I'm talking about! :D I'm eagerly awaiting the Type 2 update, awesome work. Do you have any desire to also look into the .mog/FOXMOTIONGRAPH format? Thanks! I might take a look into .mog format after I finish researching the Type 2 format. Is there any information on what it's used for?...

Took me a little bit, but I present: MtarTool v0.1 Currently supports unpacking and repacking Mtar Type 1 files. It technically works on GZ .mtars as well, but the file names will be wrong; so repacking a GZ .mtar will break it. I tried to make it work similarly to GzsTool. It exports an XML file th...

Thanks! I'll take a look through them when I get a chance.

Don't suppose anyone has found something that would explain how the game decides which models don't show up in first person when using the int scope? Almost seems like it would be something contained within the .fmdl files that the game looks for, or maybe it could be related to .fv2 files somehow?...

Just a wild guess, but can it be based on .tar format? Since fmdl is 'Fox mdl', then mtar could be 'Motion tar' as well. I took a brief look at the .tar format, but didn't notice any obvious correlation. I haven't ruled it out yet though. I'll need to take a more in-depth look at the format to be s...

unknown's writeup on importing appeal actions to single player inspired me to look into the .mtar format. I've still got a lot of progress to make, but this is my progress so far: Mtar Info: Uses Little-Endian 0x0 - 0x3 (32): Signature? 9C A8 FF 0B = Gzs, 72 2B 01 0C = Tpp 0x4 - 0x7 (32): Number of ...

Can anyone import the base model and make 2-3 screenshots? http://imgur.com/a/WR5nr Hidden meshes are present on many of MGSV's models, most are controlled with the .fv2 files. The beret on the Ocelot unit soldiers during Quiet's arrival cutscene is actually an exception to this though. The beret i...

Model-swapped pfcs has incorrect texutures on game load to both afgh and mtbs acc or actual map, fine on mafr acc/map. In line with what you're saying. But model-swapped soviets textures work fine on game load to either mafr or mtbs acc/map (from cold start). For pfcs it's only some textures that a...

You need call TppEquip.RequestLoadToEquipMissionBlock at some point during load with a table that includes the equipId, ie TppEquip.RequestLoadToEquipMissionBlock{TppEquip.EQP_WP_SkullFace_hg_010} The gun isn't set up as a viable weapon - it's a one shot kill, in pistol slot, and the holding animat...
