1. Programs Needed:
   
   • All programs listed are used in this tutorial[minus RezExtract]
     
     • Drigien's ltb to lta
       
       • Don't have it? To bad
       • Need a converter that supports animations
     • Litchtech Model edit
       
       • Attachment at bottom
     • RezInject
       
       • Read other tutorials
     • WinRezLT
       
       • RezExtract works as well
       • WinRezLT - I have a "virus-filled" version. So no attachment
2. Tutorial:
   
   1. Extracting -
      
      1. Open GUNS_M_PV_MELEE.rez with WinRezLT
      2. Click on "GUNS_M_PV_MELEE.rez" to the left side of the WinRezLT
      3. Got to Object>>Extract and click yes to subtracting all sub-folders
      4. Browse to a location to extract at and click "ok"
   2. Converting
      
      1. Find the ani/anibase that you wish to create a Ghost knife with
         
         • I will use Pedro Sword - [ANI_G_DOMPEDRO_CH.L.T.B]
      2. Copy the file to the C Drive[C:\] where your "ltb_to_lta" should be.
         
         • My Computer>>Local Disk (C:\)
      3. Right click "to_lta_CA.bat" and click edit
         
         • If you don't see ".bat" its fine, right click anyways
      4. Where it says 1% replace that with "ANI_G_DOMPEDRO_CH****B"
         
         • Code:

           C:\1Projects\Files\ltb_to_lta.exe ANI_G_DOMPEDRO_CH****B -carms

      5. Save the file [to_lta_CA.bat]
      6. Run to_lta_CA.bat with ANI_G_DOMPEDRO_CH****B in the same directory[folder]
      7. A new file should be made called "ANI_G_DOMPEDRO_CH****a"
   3. Opening ANI_G_DOMPEDRO_CH****a
      
      1. Open "ModelEdit.exe"
         
         • Again - not seeing the ".exe" is fine
      2. Once "ModelEdit.exe" is open - File>>Open[or ctrl+o]
      3. Browse to your C:\ Drive in the window that popped up
         
         • My Computer>>Local Disk (C:\)
      4. Select "ANI_G_DOMPEDRO_CH****a" and click "open"
      5. Click on "OK" when the window pops saying a bunch of stuff has loaded
   4. Making the Ghost Knife
      
      • With the file open.
      • Select "fire_0" under animations
      • Go to Animation>>Set Animation Length
      • Type in "5" in the box that pops up
      • Select "fire_1" under animations
      • Go to Animation>>Set Animation Length
      • Type in "6" in the box that pops up
   5. Finishing up
      
      • Lithtech ModelEdit
        
        • File>>Save and Compile
          
          • Third from last option
      • Close ModelEdit
   6. Injecting
      
      • If you can't do this then you fail as a modder

Have fun with this guys. Always dink around with it. I'm sure there are other ways, maybe better, but this is how I figured it out. + I doubt anyone was going to post this to begin with. -.-


ModelEdit VS

this wont work everytime, this will DC dozens of people and only work for a few minutes for others (trust me this is how i did it for my 2nd version of ghost mode knife)

this isn't how you wanna do it, there is a way to do it with never getting DC'ed...but its not easy and it has nothin to do with animation time length

you wanna add more fire_keys and find away around the detection of how fast the knife is

i cracked attributes 3 or 4 weeks ago, i'm working on a bypass hack right now so that CA server doesn't check the attribute rez file for changes


but that's beside the point

there is a way to spread out the number of fire_key's and keep you from DC-ing

i'll give you a hint: When my character is sprinting, i can also shoot a gun and keep sprinting simultaneously

saying its crypted is just the easier way to say it...its really not, its just ... idk what to call it.... lol

and i haven't played with the ST_M_Body files much yet but have a few mods done with em
