Making color / textures variations without unbinarized p3d file

[Drakenof 11]

Everything is in the title.

Let's say i have a mod that adds new weapons, and i want to make color variations of the said weapon for private use, how could i do that ?

I would have to make new entries in the config files, and new .paa files, no issues with that, but then how would i apply the new texture to the said weapon, knowing the fact that the p3d file is binarized ?

I'm new with all this, and i think i'm missing something.

tl;dr : I have a weapon. I want to take the same exact weapon and add new textures on it without replacing the original ones. Adding. Not replacing. So i would obtain " SCAR BLACK " "SCAR WOOD " "SCAR URBAN " when looking for a weapon.

look for this in the config:

hiddenSelections[] = {"Camo"};//

hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\a3\characters_f\blufor\data\clothing1_co.paa"};you can change the path to whatever you like.

If a model does not have hiddentextures the only option is to use a tool called moveobject
