Here is how to change the body of the character:
Open the file for Marcus in graphickit_models.lib (something with avatar). The D935FAD9 field is the file ID of the graphickit_parts.lib files. Copy the value and search for that in the graphickit_parts XMLs. The result's file name shows what part it is (head, arms, torso, ...). Now open the coop character file in graphickit_models.lib with which you want to replace Marcus' body with, search the values again and copy the head and body and replace the original ones with them.
Et voila, now you only have to repack it and have some fun.

Btw you can also delete the entries of the earbuds, glasses and backpack in the models files if you want to.

Convert XBT to DDS (and vice versa)

Post by Paul44 »

Attached 2 little batchfiles to do the job (using SFK ~ Swiss File Knife).
p

ps: while SFK has a very small footprint, could not add it to rar. So google and download SFK from their site. I was using sfk181 (latest 183), so you'll need to edit batchfiles accordingly...
ps2: batchfiles are "quick & dirty": feel free to change/adapt; and even take ownership if you like. if you need help, just pm
ps3: can easily be adapted to work for other extensions.

I released an importer for WD2 for blender here: viewtopic.php?p=126171#p126171

It's first draft, so if you find any issues let me know, i'll try to resolve them.

Finally some fresh wind here :)
Does someone know how to change the camera of specific vehicles? Where are the files that manage this? And where is the link to the vehicle files?

I had troubles with Paul44's batchfiles (resolved already :D ). So there is his quote
- extract the complete rar in a 'working' folder
- create an [XBT] subfolder, and dump the files you'd like to edit/convert in here
- run [WD2_1_XBT_Convert.bat]: which looks in said subfolder, and processes them
a) creates a T_Header subfolder and places 'header' files in there
b) creates a T_DDS subfolder and places 'DDS' files in there

- once you've edited the DDS files (keep their original filenames !), run [WD2_2_DDS_Convert.bat]
- which processes all files in T_DDS subfolder: adds the corresponding header to each DDS file
- and dumps the resulting file in XBT_UPD subfolder
Good luck :)

BTW about Paint jobs for "Car on Demand".
I found all the textures :D and something interesting :keke:

Among the usual paintjobs I found one belonging to the development team :scaredy:

Take a look at this:
