[tagliagole]

as in the topic title..
some mod here are 10000 way best of some vanilla costume...
i simply triyng to put the classic mk2 scorpion costume at the place of the infrared costume(useless for me)
in this method i can keep the mk4 classic costume and the mk2 costume at the same time...

another thing... is possible change the variation of the costumes? like keep the mask for oll reptile variation?

Thanks !

[tagliagole]

is not possible to do?

It is possible but you need to edit the file using a hex editor.

[Bluraysymas]

Yeah is possible and easy

[tagliagole]

I ALREADY USED THE HEX EDITOR WITH METAL GEAR RISING ... CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME.. OR EVEN ALSO GIVE ME A LINK ON SOME TUTORIAL?

[Bluraysymas]

To change the varations you can use the color picker

[thethiny]

Klassic Scorpion is CHAR_Scorpion_N
Tournament Scorpion is CHAR_Scorpion_C
Let's say you downloaded MK4 Scorpion that replaces CHAR_Scorpion_N but you don't want to remove Klassic Scorpion, so this is what you do:
-Open the MK4 Scorpion Skin in HEX Editor (The name should be CHAR_Scorpion_N).
-If you use HxD, Press Control+R, else search for "Replace".
-Search for Scorpion_N and Replace it with Scorpion_C.
-Save and exit.
-Rename the file from CHAR_Scorpion_N to CHAR_Scorpion_C and out it inside the Assets folder (make sure to backup.

Now you have MK4 as Tournament Scorpion and you still have Klassic Scorpion.

I'm wondering if this can be used to add costumes to dlc characters and add more costumes to regular characters? I believe all dlc characters (and regular characters' default costume) are A, so in theory changing the letter to B in hex editor would make it a new costume. I'm assuming you then can add the new costume to the coalesced ini file (or wherever dlc costume packs are added into the coding of the game). I'm not very tech savvy, so I have no idea if this would actually work, but in theory it should work. Maybe someone with better computer skills then me could try this and let me know if it works? Then we could add costumes to all characters!

UPDATE: Does anyone know how to decrypt the X64TOC.txt file? I think that's necessary to add the new costumes. I tried just adding them to the coalesced ini and eng files (using the extract/repack tool), but they don't show up in-game, so I'm assuming they somehow need to be added to the txt file. Hopefully someone can figure out a way to decrypt it soon.

Adding new files and adding lines of code to the ini file WON'T add new costumes because they are not read from there, I think it is in the exe, but again I don't think so at the same time. It's definitely not in the ini, so it MAY be in the X64TOC, I don't know. I think the first update of the game didn't have it encrypted so I'll take a look into that.

Ok, thanks. Please let me know what you find.

X64TOC is just a Table Of Contents text file.
1.) Yes every package that is in the game is listed there.
2.) No Just having a costume listed there will not allow the game to load that Costume/File
3.) It might be required, in the games current state, to have any new costume to be listed there, but that alone will NOT enable them.
