Extract Code Files of Models

[CPT Hounddog 7]

Hey All - another question.

 

How do you get to the actual code files of an existing Arma 3 model, for its properties and functions?

 

Thanks!

Do you mean, for instance, look at the Model.CFG etc of a P3D? if so, Mikero's Eliteness is a good tool to use, however I think it'd be best to buy his $30 a year subscription to show him some love and get the 10/10 would bang again tools.

 

If you mean see the scripts from, say, an encrypted/obfuscated PBO file, there's plenty of methods (some of which aren't exactly 'moral')  - But you can load the file from in game using the scripts :)

OK I will try Eliteness, and will definitely make a contribution next month, when I get paid. Thanks for the input. As side note, I recall being able to extract the code for the models in OFP, and modding them directly, and then test the results. The cool thing is, is that I was able to mod and see my results and it worked.
