[Guide] Getting mounts/aerogear from PWI I made this guide because I see a lot of people asking about it and I thought I might be able to help out with it.
Ok so here's the situation, PWI have some really cool mounts or aerogear that your server doesn't have but you want them on your server. Is there a way to get them from PWI to your server? Yes!
Step 1) Download sPCK from pwTools
Step 2) Using sPCK, unpack four things
- PWI models.pck
- PWI gfx.pck
- Your server's models.pck
- Your server's gfx.pck
Step 3) You need to work out where the model .ecm file for the mount/aero you want is located. To do this you need to download sELedit and open the PWI elements.data. To be honest I'm not entirely sure how to open 1.4.4 elements.data, I just use 1.4.2. Anyways, open it with sELedit and find the mount/aero you want. Then look at I think row 2 and it will have something along the lines of this; Models\Players\通用装备\翅膀\鹰翼\鹰翼.ecm
Step 4) Open the PWI models.pck.files and go to the location of the .ecm you found in step 3.
Step 5) Copy the whole folder containing the .ecm to Your servers models.pck.files.
Step 6) Open the .ecm with a text editor that can read Chinese I recommend Notepad++ (download, open .ecm and click encoding and pick chinese)
Step 7) In the .ecm, find the paths to the .gfx it uses.
Step 8) Copy the PWI gfx.pck.files the .ecm uses to your server's gfx.pck.files
Step 9) With sELedit open your clients elements.data and either clone an existing mount/aero or modify an existing one so that it points to the .ecm of the mount/aero that you want
Step 10) Save the elements.data and export it to server or make the same changes in the server elements.data
Step 11) Also from pwtools, download ronny's sMODfix to fix the files to make them work
Step 12) Open sMODfix and in the top box load the directory containing only your servers models.pck.files and gfx.pck.files (with the new mounts and aero).
Step 13) In the bottom box select an empty folder, this is where the fixed files will go
Step 14) Fix ecm >1.3.6
gfx >1.3.6
sgc >1.3.6
Step 15) Merge the output (all in the folder you selected in the bottom sMODfix box) with the models.pck.files and gfx.pck.files from your server (including mounts/aero) overwriting when prompted.
Step 16) Repack the modified models.pck.files and gfx.pck.files
Step 17) Put the modified gfx.pck and models.pck in your client.
Step 18) Put the elements.data in your client and upload the server elements.data to your server
Step 19) Have fun!
