I'm trying to create a simple mesh replacement of Quentin's torso with the jacket. I followed the guide and imported my FBX to MyProject3\Content\Characters\Campers\Quentin\Models\Torsos as QS_Torso01_REF with the correct settings.

I have set the chunk IDs to something random like 45, then I build the project and I get my pakchunk from the specified folder and change the 45 to 600. I dropped that into the same folder as the console mod and all the other paks, but Quentin's model seems to be unaffected after loading the game. Am I skipping a step here? I know you have to edit some tables in order to add new cosmetics, but I figured since this pak came later with identical naming for the mesh it'd just replace his torso as-is. Is that not the case?

Thanks in advance

Double check the folder names and model name.

#

Actually mind posting a Screenshot of your folder structure in UE?

#

oh sure

#

#

suspicious

#

wait a minute

#

it's the content folder isn't it

#

No, the content folder is the base folder in UE4

#

your folders and such all seem named right

hmm

#

its likely just not reading your Pak then.

#

definitely says it's in use when I try to delete it with the game running

#

I'll mess around with it some more

#

Could also be worth loading your Pak in Umodel and see if it maintained the folder structure.

#

Yeah, good idea. I'll try that right now

sinful summit it's the content folder isn't it

did you create the content folder yourself?

#

Nah, it was default

#

Using flat view + filter in Umodel I don't see any duplicates that are mine, just the originals

#

I opened the pak individually in Fmodel and it looks right there too unless the project name is a problem

#

It might be, i have my project named DeadbyDaylightMemes, but i also use UnrealPak to pakage my stuff instead of having UE generate a Pak file.

#

Oh I see

#

I might try UnrealPak next in that case

#

I'll try naming it DeadByDaylight real fast before that though

#

Ah sick, that worked

#

Perfect, thanks a lot!
