This has been a headache.. updates should speed up again from hereon out...

MGS4 Dirty Tools V0.5a !!

The 'a' stands for "I'm probably going to have to fix a lot of things in some sub releases!"

3D Model Export / Import:

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL SO BUGS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR - THIS IS AN ONGOING DEVELOPMENT.

  • Export / Import in .glb format
  • Direct Blender Support: Quickly open up models in Blender: Make edits, and bring it back in-game in one go! (Note: you will need to add/change your textures in MGS4DT - Will see if I can make make it so that textures from blender get imported at a later date)
  • Yes. It also lets you play around with rigged meshes. Have fun.
  • (EXPERIMENTAL) Scan the game and find out which models are loaded in memory and in view
    (Note: This is a new feature so bugs are likely present. Feedback is appreciated)
    _ A plethora of easy search tags - search by size, amount of bones and more.
    _ (EXPERIMENTAL) Shader Swapper - Accidently applied the texture to the wrong material? Use this and switch it out.

I will upload a dedicated video on how to use this tool, but for now go and experiment! Break stuff!

Current Limitation: Imported meshes can throw up an error.
A safety rail has been added to prevent game crashes, but you will still see your mesh in MGS4DT and you may find that it has not been added to the game.
If this happens, try optimising the mesh via manual poly removal or decimation and import again.
Ensure your meshes are weighted to bones, and that meshes are named mesh_[x], rather than something like MyMesh, ikjhds;fkjahds, etc.

TEXTURES:

You can also see how textures affect certain models
(experimental/non-comprehensive - Can also be achieved using the model viewer)

CAMO

  • As requested (and much needed.. Why didn't I add this earlier), Camo effect explainers have been added.
image - The automatic Swatch generator should work now... Sorry about that!

EZ Updater

Polished up the 'Check for Updates' button - should now be able to update directly from the application!

Also a bunch of other little QoL stuff that you'll probably stumble upon.

I was hoping to get around to some more requested bug fixes and features, but these features have been my primary focus.
Expect bug fixes and further developments to roll out over the coming days as I find out more!

Can't wait to see what you do with this - if you release anything (or catastrophically break stuff), tag me in!

Cheers :)
