REQUIRED - You absolutely /need/ the following for any of this to work:
- Tactical Intervention installed
- XVI32 (donwload at <can't post links>)
- VPKPatcher.exe (included)
- Hacked_Mats.7z (included)
- rename_first.bat and rename_second.bat (included)
Prep:
- Install XVI32
- Create a folder somewhere (I personnally used Desktop/TacInt) (I'll be calling this the "Root Folder")
- Create a folder within the Root Folder called "materials" (without the quotes)
- Extract Hacked_Mats.7z into "materials" (without the quotes)
-- you should end up with something along the lines of Desktop/TacInt/materials/cable
- Copy VPKPatcher.exe to the Root Folder
Converting from .fpx to .vpk:
2. Find the folder with Tactical Intervention's .fpx files (usually located in C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\TacticalIntervention\ tacint)
3. Copy all the .fpx files from here to the Root Folder
3. Copy rename_first.bat into the Root Folder and run it (double-click)
4. Once data_001_dir.vpk exists in the Root Folder, right click it and select "open with"
4a. Click "browse" and browse to where XVI32 is installed
4b. Select XVI32.exe and click "Open" followed by "OK"
4c. When XVI32 opens, you should see a window like this: <can't post links>
5. Change the first 5 bytes (currently 32 41 FF 33 0A) to "34 12 AA 55 01" (without the quotes) (just click the byte and type to edit it)
5a. Press Ctrl+S to save, and close the window.
6. Drag pak_001_dir.vpk onto VPKPatcher.exe (your mouse should say "open with")
6a. A window should open, wait until it closes.
7. Copy rename_second.bat into the Root Folder and run it
8. Once data_001_fdr.fpx exists, right click it and select "Open With"
8. Select XVI32.exe again, and open the file.
9. Change the first five bytes (currently 34 12 AA 55 01) to 32 41 FF 33 0A
9a. Press Ctrl+S to save, and close the window.
10. Copy all the .fpx files in the Root Folder back into C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\TacticalIntervention\ tacint
10a. If you are asked, select "Copy and Replace"
11. Copy the materials folder from the Root Folder into C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\TacticalIntervention\ tacint
11a. If you are asked, select "Copy and Replace"
12. Done! You can now launch Tactical Intervention and play with your shiny new (and undetectable!) mathacks
