How to select and / or edit the camos?
Each camo has a corresponding .fv2 file which the mod overwrites. This .fv2 file is responsible for providing the path from which the textures are loaded. All of these .fv2 files were hex-edited so they point to a custom directory where the custom files are stored. The textures can be found in "\Assets\daften\camorecolors".
"sna0_main1_def_cXX_bsm" files are used by DEFAULT and SCARF camos.
"sna8_main0_def_cXX_bsm" files are used by NAKED camos.
IMPORTANT: To replace a camo you must replace the texture files with your own edited textures. You must use the same name and same path otherwise the .fv2 files will not be able to load the files.
To edit a texture convert it to .dds with FtexTool and use GIMP or Photoshop with the nVidia plug-in to open. Alternatively you can download the templates which were used to make the CamoRecolors mod. Once you made your edit save the file as .dds then run FtexTool on them once again to convert it back to .ftex and .ftexs files. After that you can safely delete the .dds file.
To goal of this mod is to change the different fatigues' gear to better fit the environment. For example the default Olive Drab fatigues have black straps, shoulder pads and boots which in real life lowers the effectiveness of a camouflage. This mod changes the colors around the patterns and colors the fatigues has.
I failed to do the retexturing by using the .fmdl editing method so this mod replaces .ptfxs files in chunk_0
I want to thank the MGSV Modding Discord and the modding community for helping me with my questions and providing examples and tutorials on how to make mods.
I used dustinpeek's camo templates to do the edits. I further modified it and will upload the template
Sharing and editing this mod is completely free so do as you wish.
I don't promise to support or update the mod regularly or at all because of my real life obligations.
Have a good day and happy modding!

All of the base game, preorder and the FOB camos that have patterns are now supported with all variants! NAKED, NORMAL, SCARF
