Hello,
For a little while now I have been interested in the possibility of modifying some of the in game vehicle assets to tweak small things on them as part of a client-side personal preference.
From quite a while ago, there are videos explaining that gaijin has tools that can be used by players to both import custom models as well as change up existing ones. I’ve tried using these to try and further my pursuit, but they seem rather antiquated and out of date.
Here is my scenario: I would like to export the model of the JAS39E gripen out of the asset viewer and into blender, remove the IRST pod that is located on the nose of the plane, patch up the mesh and the UV maps, and ship it back into the game using the blender plugin so that I can play the vehicle with its updated mesh in regular battles.
Is this something that is at all possible in the current version of the game? According to online sources, the CDK should be able to do something such as this, but I see no way to export the model out of the asset viewer. There are supposedly asset rippers that exist, but they’re said to be rather crude in their ripping. Additionally, I would not want to remove an asset from this game if it was against the wishes of the developers.
Any responses providing help or clarification would be greatly supported!!
