Hey guys,
I wanted to ask if there's any way to get access to the game textures to make skin modifications and stuff.
I know where they're located in the steam dir. however I've yet to find a way to open and modify the .upk files.
Also, will it be possible to publish skin mods without actually repacking those back into the .upk files so that you don't have to re-download half of the games data since most of them are located within the same .upk file.
The source engine for example tries to read texture files first from the texture folder itself...if no texture was found it takes the standard one located in the .vpk files.
This way it's easy to make such modifications considering you don't have to repack the .vpk files and stuff...
I think you get what I mean.
