I modify Watch Dogs.xml:

Code: Select all

<install_location>
	<action type="path">D:\Watch_Dogs</action>
</install_location>

run RebuildFileLists.exe and generated files (28133/310337 (9%))
What next? How I can upgrade this result?

Create file projects\Watch Dogs\files\newfilenames.filelist with new filenames(!) and run RebuildFileLists.exe

Yes? It's not as if I can pull all of the filenames out of my own ass.

Lmfao!

Ok, thank you!
what is new filenames? Names of files found RebuildFileLists.exe at the previous iteration, names of files found in hex-editor, or else?
Is there a manual?

Update filelist from Ekey

names of files found in hex-editor, or a manual, or ... in game-files =)

Yes I agree

Anywho, looks like the meshes are stored in .XBG (Xbox Geometry) format looks fairly straight forward from a quick glance...

edit: nvm should have looked into the source first

after the filelist is built, is it then possible to do straight model replacements?

Where did you see this?
I already have an import script for xbg (Far Cry 3), but in Watch_Dogs I couldn't find any .xbg files, only .geom which are different.

for example - graphics\buildings\_interior\auctionhouse\ah_building_ext.xbg

Thanks, but it's still completely different compared to FC3 xbg.
Rick's tool saves unknown filenames in .geom and known in .xbg, correct? That would explain why I didn't see it before.

Yesterday I started working on a maxscript for the new GEOM format and I'm making good progress.

Yup .geom it's .xbg

Anybody can write a step by step manual to generation newfilenames.filelist?
