Pilot Model Import Documentation #93
Conversation
|
Almost done with conversion from Google Docs to ModdingDocs.
Then will add more detail/refine. Then ask model makers for review and where to add even more detail. |
|
i'd suggest not making the POV model "optional" as frankly it's not that much more effort, and you see the pov model 90% of the time |
|
I agree. |

Change unrelated to PR so I suggest reverting IMO ^^
| `Text Editors`_ - Just a text editor | ||
|
|
||
| `Titanfall VPK Tools`_ - VPK viewer, extractor, and repacker. | ||

|
|

|
|
||
| `Blender Source Tools`_ - Source Tools plugin for Blender | ||
|

Might look better formatted as bullet point list, i.e.
- Text Editors - Just a text editor
- Titanfall VPK Tools - VPK viewer, extractor, and repacker.
"Titanfall VPK Tool" is the vpk tool used. Made by cra0.- Crowbar - Decompile, recompile, and a ton of other model
and source asset stuff...

Given that we also have EA App now, it might be better to just link to a resource that tells you how to find the game location.
Or otherwise at least describe how to do it for EA App as well now ^^
Also keep in mind that players can install in different locations so it might make more sense to tell them to go via e.g. Steam -> game properties -> local files -> open location instead of giving them a path,
| At the top left press the ``Open`` button. | ||

| Exporting the POV model | ||
| ^^^^^ | ||
|
|
||
| Do the following to view your model from a outside perspective. | ||
|
|
||
| - Expand the models folder, | ||
| - then the weapons folder, | ||
| - then open the arms folder | ||
| - Repeat "Exporting the pilot model from the vpk" but with the POV file instead. |
