Importing a Mesh

Import > 3DMigoto frame analysis dump (vb.txt + ib.txt) - Locate a valid dump folder
- You can get a valid dump folder from one of the asset repositories: GIMI, SRMI, ZZMI
- Or you can make a dump directly from the game yourself by following the Hunting Guide
- On the right hand side you have several options available. Hover over them for more information on their particular use. Some might prove useful according to the game you are trying to mod or the clean up steps you'd like applied to your mesh at import time.
- Chose the ones that will be useful for your project and click on
Import - DONE!
Modding
The plugin is not designed to directly aid on the process of replacing, modifying or creating a mod. Simply on the import export process. Check the other guides in the site to see examples of how to create and prepare your models for export.
If you are a beginner, I recommend you starting at Mona Hat or Weapon Banana guides.
Exporting a mod
- If it was not detected automatically, select your dump folder on the right hand side menu in your viewport
- Select a destination folder(can be a /Mods subdirectory) for your mod to be exported at
- Click on
Export - DONE!
