The uncompressed chunk at the end of the compressed data is actually required, since the compressed data is loaded into the end of the output buffer and decompression keeps going while src pointer < dest pointer.

Not really. And for most files its actually not present. In most cases, last compressed data (after decompression) will end exactly at the end of the buffer.

[Sir Kane]

Added a tool to repack (doesn't compress) and merged my filelist with Ekey's.

Does the game read them if they are packed uncompressed ?

[Sir Kane]

Yes, files can be either compressed or uncompressed, with the latter mostly being used for really small files.

pardon me,may i ask how to pack it,i dragged both the folder and fat and dat files to wd2pack.exe,but nothing happen

[disastorm]

So do you think we'd be able to extract common.fat/dat , convert it to xml, modify, convert it back to binary, and then pack it back and have it run, or are some of those steps still imperfect?

*edit just did a simple extract, repack with no changes, and start the game and that worked.
Does anyone know which files affect the player model? I know in Watch Dogs 1 there was the aiden outfit items, but in this one I guess the main character has various parts of items he can equip.

graphickit_models handles the npc model
items handles the clothing model

that's what i know

Yea, the very last section in the xml for graphickit characters ( hash 0FEF3467 ) are their graphickit_part ids. Not sure how to link it with the clothes though.

I have done some experiments on the clothing model,trying to replace a biker jacket to a police shirt.
unfortunately,the game just automatically closed after loading into the game.

although that post is outdated since the clothing system is totally changed in wd2,some of the contents are still worth reading.

Hm I was able to find references to the graphickit_part ids in the Clothing item xmls, but when I changed them to something else, it didn't change in the game. It really is quite puzzling to me that changing all references to the graphickit_part didn't change it in the game, unless its not using the xml file I changed. Here is what I did to see if anyone has any ideas:

At the bottom of the items/Clothing_Rewards.ClothesBox.Torso.CyberDriver_Torso01.xml

Code: Select all

      </object>

Here are 2 values found in graphickit_parts:
$ grep "F0C2D5B6F2C645BA" ./*
./W2CH_PAR_avat_ma_tor.fill_ma_tor_jacket01_opentshirt_REWARD_JimmySiska.xml: <field hash="E4556387" type="BinHex">F0C2D5B6F2C645BA</field>


$ grep "28088AE703000080" ./*
./W2CH_PAR_avat_ma_tor.fill_ma_tor_jacket01_opentshirt_REWARD_JimmySiska.xml: < field hash="1FE8D41C" type="BinHex">28088AE703000080</field>
./W2CH_PAR_avat_ma_tor.fill_ma_tor_jacket01_opentshirt_REWARD_JimmySiska.xml: < field hash="389F6DA7" type="BinHex">28088AE703000080</field>

I replaced these in the original items/Clothing_Rewards.ClothesBox.Torso.CyberDriver_Torso01.xml with values from a different torso graphickit_part,
but in the game the item still looks exactly the same. I did verify that it was indeed reading my new common.dat/fat.
There doesn't seem to be any other graphickit_part references in that file, so the only thing I can think of is that the game doesn't actually use this file the way I was thinking it did.

*edit, I even changed the actual graphickit_part xml file , copy pasted over almost the whole thing and it still didn't seem to do anything... its really bizzare.

*edit oh i think its because i'm changing common, i should try changing the patch file.

check it out, wasn't really what i was hoping for, but its a start. At least we can see the game can be modded without crashing:
