alleycat 28 Posted August 6, 2014 Is there a guide on how to create RVMAT so one can slap normal maps on an object? And by guide, an actual guide with a simple workable example and not that esoteric shit on the wikiwhere all the options are explained but they leave out a basic example. And why are there no samples one can look at? Why are arma files encrypted even? WHY IS EVERYTHING IN THIS GAME's PIPELINE MADE TO MAXIMIZE ANGER AND RAGE IN PEOPLE. And the best part most files are encrpyted because someone might rip a piece of shit text file that explains how to put a normal map on something I have seen crap modding tools for other games but this game adds new layer of crap and failure at every stage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can open binarized .RVMAT files with mikiero's tools or UnRAP. After messing around with a few dozen different RVMAT files you will be able to make your own from scratch Also it should be noted that the files are not enctryped to prevent people from stealing content (for the most part, that is some of the reason i guess), the binarization process is used to convert the files into an optimized binary format that helps speed up the loading of content into the game engine.
