HITMAN 3 - Modding Thread

@Ham_Train

VSCode is much better. I don’t think Notepad++ can prettify JSON, so it will be one massive near-unreadable line of text. VSCode will also automatically highlight bits of code to make it more readable (which was incredibly useful when I was first learning JSON, which is what the REPO file will be in) and it’s what’s used in QNE (I think) so it would be good to get familiar with it if you’re getting into modding.

@Urben

There are JSON plugins for Notepad++ that prettify or compress them.

Me whenever I enter the Modding thread and see people talking about the internal file types that I have no understanding of whatsoever:

Calling for JASON in 4K (Heavy Rain PC)

[BarnOwlLover]

But is there a place to save them and apply them to the game from there? I can load them but I can’t save them or apply them to the game from there (or anywhere I’ve seen).

You can save this in repository.json format for smf

[BarnOwlLover]

If I knew that the RPKG editor/viewer can be used to modify (which I know it can) and save adjusted repo files, I can actually do this. For me, the issue is how to save and apply from there.

I’ve finally gotten a more modern PC and double dipped on WoA during the holiday Steam sales.

Being able to finally experience the modding of this game has been quite enjoyable. So thank you to all the modders out there, especially with how easy doing so is.

[Dribbleondo]

We appreciate the love <3

These guys make good lists

Calibrating mods is definitely my least favourite part of modding, so glad SMF makes it a breeze

Xbox user here, so I don’t think I have access to the amazing Nexus mods. Wanted to know if Dubai at night is a thing? Would anybody mind sharing photos? Thanks!

[Kevin_Rudd]

It’s been difficult because of reflections that are built in to all the glass I think, they can be manually removed but then it looks ugly, and you’re left with the skybox being unique to Dubai because it includes a ground and clouds, so you can’t just swap it like we usually do for ToD changes. Just lots of things make it difficult (But I’m sure not impossible)

Here’s a WIP @Kercyx did a long time ago

@musicalmushr00m had tried working on it once, they probably made better progress but dunno if they want to share their shots here

Look intresting but dark too much😅

[Covenant]

Thanks, Kevin! I see what you’re saying here. Still cool though.

Accent Overhaul 1.6 - Re-write + American Variety

The bullies in the modding Discord have worn me down; I’ve re-structured the mod how they want so it now takes up to two minutes longer to deploy, but hey at least it isn’t an 800mb download any more. I’ve also added more voice variety to the USA and train maps.

Changelog

• Replaces RPKG copy script (take seconds to deploy) with dependencies (takes minutes to deploy)
• Replaces some raw files with QN patches to reduce ‘warnings’
• Adds voice variety (Mainly US, some UK, some other) to USA maps and the Providence train. Maps now include ALL voices across S1 and S2+, instead of them being separate (Welcome to Seasons 2 and 3, Kurt and Yuri Lowenthal!). Some maps IO has chosen to manually specify the voices of 90% of NPCs (Colorado and New York) and I have decided not to overwrite that at this stage as it would require me checking hundreds of NPCs to see if they have dialogue or not.
• Enables AutoUpdates (You still need to grab this version from Nexus)

Anybody know why Yuki Yamazaki’s textures are missing her tattoo sleeve upon export? Anyone know where to find them?

[amirmetti]

Have never had the opportunity to use any of them…

WIP of a suit I’m making, based on the “A New Deal” cinematic.

Kitbashing is my new favourite thing to do; it’s simultaneously really fun (and somewhat easy-ish) to do, but also really frustrating in other ways. Namely; clipping.

Blinding Lights Suit V2

I made this while doing a Trinity pack recolouring mod, and this was the mod I learned how to do kitbashing on. Safe to say, i’m pretty proud of how well it’s turned out. The only loss compared to The Weeknd’s suit is a pocket square, as I haven’t worked out how to move non-TEMP’d PRIMS’s to move reliably.

Replaces the Crimson Suit for now; will make a non-DLC suit replacement for it soon:tm:

Coming soon…The Killer comes to Hitman.

…wait, 47 killed him and took his clothes! Oh well.

Spent a solid three days on this side-project. Not going to be released until I can A: get better hands and B: do more outfits.

I am also aware that there’s a more film-accurate bucket hat, but this one looks so much funnier on 47.
