Can edit textures now
How would you go about doing that?
Well, converting and editing them is not a problem... mostly. Most of the textures can be converted to .dds by using
JayK FTexUnpacker.
It's
re-packing them back into .ftex format that's been... problematic thus far. But apparently that problem's been solved. I guess we can wait a little for tutorial or something.
These are interesting times, wouldn't you agree? Every day brings new development, a new mod, tool or tutorial
if every engine/game had a seageanur or jayk, and/or had an engine like fox, modding would be coming back like a storm. unfortunately most companies are like ubisoft or dice/ea, and content lockdown is the norm to sell their shitty dlcs and micro transactions.

To be honest, when it comes to ease of modding, compared with engines like Creation Engine (used in Skyrim), Fox Engine isn't that good. In Skyrim, all textures are already in .dds format, and main executable is programmed to look for extra files when loading game, outside of main files.
Personally, I don't think that Phantom Pain is gonna be any better. MGS2 wasn't easily modable either, right?

Are you complaining that you have to waste 2 secs of your life to convert ftex into dds and vice versa? Compared to previous Metal Gears, modding of MGS GZ is just a piece of cake. They used to have their own script engine, own streaming audio format and own texture format optimised in the best way for a console's VRAM. It was truly amazing what they have achieved back then. Now they just use LUA, Wwise and other stuff that every second company is using.
And yeah, I'm pretty sure there is a way to make a game work with unpacked g0s files.

No sir, I'm merely pointing out that Creation Engine is easier to mod than Fox Engine. That's all.
You and JayK and others are certainly doing great work with developing proper tools and while I personally actually haven't been able to convert any of my modified .dds back into .ftex, I trust that with time even I will be able to achieve that.
Thank you.

Found a bunch of lua function names and such for each object.
Here are a bunch for the "GrTools" lua object found in data_02\Fox\Scripts\Gr

Yep with a lot of help from Cra0 i think we figured out the multi-model format portion (which was giving me nightmares).
Each color is a separate model. they were stored together and are used when the barriers get damaged. Now we can step up to multi-mesh rigged models.

This is an awesome development.
Does it import the textures automatically though, or will we manually assign them?
Additionally, if it does import textures automatically will it just import the .ftex or only the converted .DDS files?
Really looking forward to playing about with this tool.

right, and it'll look like complete shit since it's a old model in a next gen game
