BF2 Unit Skirts

Post by giftheck »

I noticed in UltimateUnwrap3D that there is a mesh for the skirt on a BF2 model. Is there a way to hex-edit that back into the model so it is visible?

They are visible. Those meshes are the cloth; Unwrap shows you them along with the "normal" mesh.

Yes the cloth is there. There is also a shadowvolume that looks exactly like the regular cloth.

If you want/need to do any cloth hexediting, see my tutorial in the everything you need thread.

What I meant is, the skirt is visible in Unwrap3D, but it doesn't appear in-game in BF1. I want the mesh to appear in Battlefront I

Right, we understand that. But you had already known that there was a cloth mesh there, and I'm not sure what you were trying to say with your first post, because you already knew that cloth meshes didn't work in SWBF1?

You'd need to re-export the skirt as a static mesh, at the very least, before you could get it to show up.

I might ask Napseeker actually, his Jedi vs Clones mod has BF2 Clones with the skirts intact.

EDIT: I'm wondering if I could hex edit the BF1 Arc Trooper's cape into these files instead.

i thought you could, but i cant find the cape modl chink of the bf1 arc trooper

edit: i found it in the snowtrooper, i think you will need to reference the texture and maybe fix up some other parts but here it is i extracted it from the beginning of its modl chunk to the other modl chunk http://files.filefront.com/IMP+Snowtroo ... einfo.html

if you can make it work please upload the improved modl cunk because i also have a use for it

Actually for the ARC, the skirt and pauldron is one mesh, in the "OverrideTexture2" object section, I believe. So you could in theory copy that from the ARC to the Episode III trooper.
