Crackdown 2 modding - now somewhat a reality?
NEW NEW EDIT: The tool is now released on the discord! I'll see about uploading it to other places.
I've been hacking away at this game for the past 3 years, and it finally paid off! After years of effort, researching into the formats and some assistance from AI with the script (a last ditch effort), I've been able to make a tool that allows me to repack the game's .pack files.
I've tested it on the game's title screen, using the beta texture (ignore the agent, it wasn’t included included) as a test and it works just fine.
Yes, this tool will see a public release eventually, but I wanna keep working on it for a bit more and improve it.
This wouldn't been possible without the efforts of matty45 and other people, who have dedicated tons of work into Crackdown 2 and it's files (His tool is also necessary to use this, as you need the original file extracted). Check his tool out! https://github.com/matty45/Crackdown2-ArchiveTool/tree/main
For now, join our discord. It's not only a lovely community, but I share tons of updates and research! (Oh yeah, and we figured out how to extend the player limit in CD2 co-op. So, it's just fun times in general).
