📋 About This Mod

Allows the use of the prologue hip sheath in Raiden's main campaign, including all extant hip sheathing animations and several custom animations. Also allows customization of all body parts per costume as a modding resource.

I had to make a loop to modify code in 23 different places in exactly the same way for this.

Behold, hip sheath: with code! I'm really happy with the sheer number of things that ought to have been impossible that I did here: activating hip animations without deactivating blade mode, adding a custom model on an unused ID, adding animations to three separate interactables without removing or replacing the existing ones, fixing quick draw on the hip sheath at all, and making all of that fully configurable as a modding resource for people making custom sheaths on arbitrary costumes, or anything else!

The features should be about summed up by the screenshots.

File breakdown for partial install:

- pl10a0: MGS4 body with the hip bone added (you can do the same to other bodies with bonemerge.py or MGR2Blender)

- pl10a3: custom sheath extended to better fit other swords

- pl0103: standard hip sheath, textures unlinked from prologue body and quick draw animation added

- ba0c00, ba0c04, ba0c05, ba0c06, ba0c07, ba0c08, ba0c11: door interactables through Raiden's campaign, animations added

- bm0700: that laptop you download VR missions from, animations added

- CustomBodyParts.asi: critical code mod

- CustomBodyparts.ini: plaintext configuration for which sheath to use with which body

Install by merging with your METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE folder, uninstall by deleting all included files. You can use this as a base for other mods, hip-sheath related or just increasing model variety, with credit.

To-do list:

- custom sheathing for rarer occasions: the Hammerhead QTE and boss finishers come to mind, preferably without actually editing the bosses (the mod currently doesn't affect pl0010, so it should be compatible with pretty much every moveset mod).

- be reeeeaally sure nothing breaks or clips, ever

- consider enlarged but not curved prologue sheath

- consider upside-down version of Sam's sheath (actually that would look silly (or would it))

- hip sheath version of Raiden's normal sheath... eh, someone else can do that

- mod loader, idk, just tell me if you have suggestions

Oh, and check out the Modding Gear Rising Discord for faster help and generally hanging out.
