v0.1.2 Exposed materials in inspector. Material constants are editable. For context, "material constants" are float values passed to the shader. They can be colors (remember this from chunks), UV scale, etc. They are always grouped in 4, but probably not everything uses all 4 components...

Click File -> Save or just Ctrl+S. It'll prompt you to save into .smesh or .cmesh and the accompanying .g_ file. Then put those into your patch.vpp_pc or among loose files like any other mod.

v0.1.1 Smol update that maybe makes this more useful: I replaced the texture label with an editable text field. This means you can now swap model textures. Texture names are also accompanied by a number that could be a memory offset or something so no idea if this will cause weird things to...

Source geometry for reference. I made the mod with one-off scripts, but it can now be recreated with the model viewer.

I spent some time looking at other formats than chunks. Turns out packfiles are pretty well figured out and smesh/cmesh consist of the same pieces I had already found in chunks. Tools: Packer A cli packfile tool that's probably worse than minimaul's in every way. Model viewer It can be used to...

This replaces nightstick model with the stun baton from Half-Life 2. Shadows are a little broken, not sure why. Installation: put the files in your patch.

There's a lot of unlabeled data, but I expect lighting to be in a later section that I haven't reached, and that can't reach until a breakthrough happens elsewhere (or if someone just wants to find and document their locations manually per file). Since I last worked on this I'm pretty sure that...

I knew of that McDonald's incident, but not the Saints Row one. Fandom is awful, thanks for doing the work.

Update: By audience's request, I did a bit more work on this. Restart? https://github.com/sevonj/sr2_chonker Restarted the chunk editor from scratch. No promises of it getting anywhere. The chunk editor under the hood is a pile of garbage held together with rubber bands and bubblegum. The...

Isn't it just an evolution of the old one? Well the leap was pretty big though, and the entire chunk format was blown up. I would have done exactly that already if I could. If you can reverse engineer and document file formats from sr2 and srtt, I welcome your effort.

H1 for an entire post? My eyes! But great to see this is finally through. Thank you for keeping this place online. And thank you Freeman.

You know, this thought has bothered me for so long.

MegaFreeman and mrsaintsgodzilla Minimaul also pm'd me, but that part didn't materialize since flippy's second video sped up his exit quite a lot. Not sure if the site itself has been transferred, I assume we'll hear an announcement then.

Hi, you chose a nice time to show up :D You can pick up about any of the main games. Continue to SRIV for an even more over-the-top experience, or go for SR1 or SR2 to find what the old ones were about. None of the games are bad, but they are all quite different.

I agree, this is such a high quality post. Love it.

Yeah. Everything's been fucking awful with the community for a while now, with the patch, fighting over the reboot, and this. Once the site's been transferred, I hope this discussion is done.

@theg721 I added you to the org. You should be able to approve your own PR's and edit the board.

https://saintsrowmods2.github.io/volition-docs/ Let's create a dedicated thread for this instead posting off-topic elsewhere. Contains documentation of Volition games. I posted this under SR2 since that's where most interest lies currently, but it's meant for all games.
