Information about REMOVING meshs from the Game. [Thowin chats]


[...]

Here is an exemple using the file Naked_Bra_LOD0 (id:1991056204506) Found in "DataPC_SharedGroup_00_patch_01.forge".

Save the mesh as "Wavefront OBJ|*.obj".
Open it in a text editor.

All the Faces are listed, prefixed by "f" :
f 683/683/683 693/693/693 720/720/720
f 720/720/720 715/715/715 683/683/683
f 722/722/722 715/715/715 720/720/720
(...)

If we take the first Face (f 683/683/683 693/693/693 720/720/720), it is a triangle formed by the 683th, 693th and 720th Vertices.
But in computer science, we often start counting from 0 instead of 1. So we have to substract 1 from the Vertices numbers :
683 - 1 = 682
693 - 1 = 692
720 - 1 = 719

To convert them in hexadicimal data (16 bits, little endian), the easiest way is to do a search with HxD using "Integer number", inside the mesh file extracted with Blacksmith as .ACV.
You obtain this :
682 -> AA 02
692 -> B4 02
719 -> CF 02

Concatenate those 3 hexadicimal values and you obtain the 6 bytes for the data of the Face :
AA 02 B4 02 CF 02

Then search it in the ACV file (Hex-values search mode), and you find it at Offset : 1278D
Because it is where we found the first Face :
"OffsetHex": "1278D"

Each Face is stored on 6 bytes :
"RunSize": [6]

There is 1580 Faces (you can either count them in the .OBJ file, or look in Blacksmith) :
"RunCount": 1580

And we will overwrite the bytes with 00 :
"Data": "00"

(This will overwrite the 9480 bytes (15806) defining the Faces of the mesh, with 00.)
