Tools to work with archetype files to get cars/characters combined.
First, get archetype files:
entity\generated\archetypes.entities.bin - main big archetype
entity\generated\server_archetypes.entities.bin - server archetype
Then we need to make a "cache" for archetypes:
crewact_cache.exe - Drop archetypes on it, and it will create 2 cache files: a list of all branches, and all entities in the tree, so it can be loaded and used fast from now on.
. If cache files already created, it will exit.
. list.txt is required to work (for this tool and all others below)
------- cars ------
crewact_cartables.exe - create a list of all car tables (from main archetype)
. this will also take 30 seconds, because it will have to parse whole tree
. you can hex-edit this list to work with only 1 car or selected cars
crewact_carmodels.exe - output a list of car models (from server archetype)
. list will be output to console, save it as models.txt
example: crewact_carmodels.exe server_archetypes.entities.bin > models.txt
important note: remove incorrect entries in the end, if there will be any
crewact_cars.exe - create .BAT files for all cars based on the tables (from main archetype)
. these files will have part lists for all cars based on the tables
. also outputs all tree entities related to those car parts to console
. models.txt is required in the same folder to work
crewact_cars_noout.exe - same tool, just no output to console
important note2: models.txt will only work for The Crew 2, so for The Crew 1 if you leave it empty, you can get BAT files, but no car names
------- avatars ------
crewact_avatartables.exe - create a list of all avatar tables (from main archetype)
. this will also take 30 seconds, because it will have to parse whole tree
. you can hex-edit this list too
crewact_avatars.exe - create .BAT files for all avatars based on the tables (from main archetype)
. these files will have part lists for all characters based on the tables
. also outputs all tree entities related to console
crewact_avatars_noout.exe - same tool, just no output to console
------- convertion ---------
After that, you can put these BAT files in a folder where you have XBG files, and run them there, it will copy parts for specific cars to their folders. Then you can convert them with model tool.
