I uh, messed up the first one. Here is a new pr. Still needs much cleaning up.

Fixed my mess.

@GeckoEidechse if you have the time. Can you re-review this? If you remember any of the issues/problems you had with it.

Just so I don't forget, the main guide was made by Harb.

Seems to be a duplicated (mostly) file here, or I'm missing something.

Also, this has very little to do with RPaks, I'd prefer if they were left out of the title. (Titanfall 2 doesn't use RPaks for models but Apex does, I'd prefer to avoid any potential confusion)

I think "Model Modding" would suffice, as the tutorial would work for pretty much any model, just using a pilot model as an example. (similarly to how "RPak Modding" uses a camo RPak as an example in it's tutorial) It would also fit better alongside the other tutorial names.

Is this the same as rpakpilotmodding.rst

An order version, yes.

I didn't know this file existed. I'll clear it up, thanks for pointing it out.

+- `Titanfall VPK Tools`_ - VPK viewer, extractor, and repacker.
+            "Titanfall VPK Tool" is the vpk tool used. Made by cra0.
+
+- `Crowbar`_ - Decompile, recompile, and a ton of other model and source asset stuff


I would prefer if a different vpk tool was recommended here, as they are generally considered better these days (Crowbar can do vpk extraction for titanfall 2 properly, so you could just recommend Crowbar for it to avoid having too many required tools)

This change would however require a rewriting/rewording of the section dedicated to extracting the model from the vpk

I never recommended a specific vpk tool.

I will take another look in VPK tools to see what is the overall best, but I just continued with cra0's VPKTool because it's popular use in tutorials, it's ability to unpack AND repack.

If I choose Crowbar, I'll rewrite the necessary content.

+Type the file name of the pilot into the search bar to view **texture and material paths**.
+View file paths to create paths in RePak


This should advise to turn on "Show full asset paths" in Legion+ settings, which I believe is off by default

I noticed that but this was just an .rst translation so I kept it "as is". Considering the amount of adjustments and rewriting, I will now add your suggestion.

Any chance the base guide could be linked here?

Sure.

I'll add the original google link, and experiment with the file sharing on the docs.

+The files have different names that correspond to their pilot classes. Below is a clarifying table to help.
+
+====================    ===== 
+VPK .mdl name           Name
+====================    =====
+pilot_light_jester      Stim
+pilot_light_ged         Phase Shift
+pilot_medium_stalker    Holo Pilot
+pilot_medium_reaper     Pulse Blade
+pilot_medium_geist      Grapple
+pilot_heavy_roog        A-Wall
+pilot_heavy_drex        Cloak
+====================    =====


This should probably also specify that _f models are the female ones and _m models are the male ones, for completeness and to avoid any potential confusion

Will add this!
