Picture Guide made by Asterisk (old/outdated)
Picture Guide:
Q: Can other people see the changes online?
A:
No.
OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WILL SEE NORMAL, UNCHANGED WEAPONS.Q: Where do I find wp_dat and wp_dat_g files?
A: In chunk3. Updates might make it chunk5 or something. Chunk 7 for lance, dual blades, and hammer, chunk 5 for the other weapons. Chunk 10 for SnS, LS, and DB, Chunk 9 for the rest. ALWAYS USE WP_DAT AND WP_DAT_G FROM THE NEWEST POSSIBLE CHUNK TO AVOID CRASHES. THE TOOL SHOULD BE FUTURE-PROOF UNLESS CAPCOM CHANGES SOMETHING BIG IN THE WP_DAT FILES. This should no longer be necessary, the tool should be able to update your wp_dat on its own. Iceborne means that you HAVE to use the newest chunk files.
Q: Why does the tool crash when I try to change the fourth KT weapons?
A:
Because you used a chunk0 wp_dat or wp_dat_g.
Q: How can I get more custom models?
A:
Make them, or download Asterisk or Ezekial's packs.
Q: How do I make more custom models?
A: I don't know. You're on your own.
Q: Can you make Armor and/or ammo tools?/Can I get one of the tools you've made hidden?
A: No.
