Thank you uncreativeperson7, it was the first mod I made as a test, and then I tried other more complex ones like the outfit mod that I published months later.
It's definitely impressive work! Now that Part II is out on PC, how feasible do you think it might be to add glasses to the models there too? There isn't a "headwear" section of the skins anymore; but maybe they could be added to the face model(s) directly? Even if that means we'd have to enable/disable it manually at the file level, rather than in-game.
Hi sychomaniac189, Maybe I will make a mod for Joel in the future, not necessarily glasses, it could be other types of accessories or outfits, but it will depend on how much support the mods that I have published have with the number of Endorsements.
The steps for unpacking the "sp-common.psarc" file were a bit confusing so I thought I'd share the steps that worked for me: *make sure to backup your files just in case
1) Download the zip file: https://github.com/Ekey/U4.PSARC.Tool/releases/tag/0.1 2) Extract the two (.bat) & (.exe) files from the .zip into your "TLOU-MainFolder\build\pc\main" folder 2.1) Copy the oo2core_9_win64.dll from your game folder & paste inside the \main folder 2.2) Copy the directory of where your main folder is installed in your PC, for example, mine was C:\Games\The Last of Us - Part I\build\pc\main 2.3) Open cmd prompt (no need to open as admin) type cd space then paste (ctrl + v) the directory you copied earlier press enter. It should point to the correct directory of where the main> folder is installed in your PC 2.4) Copy & paste: U4.Unpacker.exe "sp-common.psarc" "./" press enter. It should unpack the files now, let it run until completion, mine took around 1-2 minutes, when it's done unpacking type exit
'actor97' folder should now be visible in the main folder so make sure to follow the rest of the steps of OP from 3) onwards
Great mod btw, I feel even more protective of Ellie now
That u4 psarch tool is complete trash and most cases doesn't even recognize the dll caller script. Use this one instead much better strict and fluent to use. https://github.com/amrshaheen61/TLOU_PSARC_Tool
Sorry Nimaptime7, I'm just posting appearance mods for now. Maybe in some discord of that game where you have developer users you can find a similar tool.
When you're running the command from the Command Prompt, make sure that you're currently in the directory that contains the .exe. So in this case, you have to navigate to the \build\pc\main folder in Command Prompt. The easiest way to do that is probably to open the folder normally and copy the address. Then, in cmd, type cd ", then paste the folder address, and then close the quotation marks. It'll look something like this (depending on where you've installed the game): cd "D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Last of Us Part I\build\pc\main" Hit enter, and cmd should now show a line like: D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Last of Us Part I\build\pc\main>_
Once you've navigated cmd to build\pc\main, double check that you've copied 'U4.Unpacker.exe', 'U4.Unpacker.bat', and 'oo2core_9_win64.dll' to that same folder. So those three files, as well as 'sp-common.psarc' should all be in the same folder.
After that, Command Prompt should be able to find and run the Unpacker.
Did you remove or rename 'sp-common.psarc' from \build\pc\main ? If the game detects that file there, it will prioritize that over the extracted (modified) files.
Try renaming it to something like 'sp-common_orig.psarc'.

2.1) Copy the oo2core_9_win64.dll from your game folder & paste inside the \main folder

'U4.Unpacker.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
How to fix it?
cd "D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Last of Us Part I\build\pc\main"
Hit enter, and cmd should now show a line like:D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Last of Us Part I\build\pc\main>_
Once you've navigated cmd to build\pc\main, double check that you've copied 'U4.Unpacker.exe', 'U4.Unpacker.bat', and 'oo2core_9_win64.dll' to that same folder. So those three files, as well as 'sp-common.psarc' should all be in the same folder.
