Change the Chunk Sizes

1) You can close the rbarmory file you will not need it any longer

2) In the cbharadchurch file you will see in the string for the "39" piece we pasted a value of
              

Code

F4 1F 00 80

This references the size of the chunk. It backwards so the true value is 80001FF4.

3) You will also see right before the "39" value a size there as well. For the cbharadchurch it is               

Code

64 58 00 80

4) Change the               

Code

F4 1F 00 80

to               

Code

64 58 00 80

5) Next we will change the               

Code

64 58 00 80

value to account for the new information added. Take the true hex number (backwards number) 80005864 and add a 14 hex (20 decimal).

6) The result is 80005878 which is:               

Code

78 58 00 80. 7) Change [code]64 58 00 80

value right before the 39 to               

Code

78 58 00 80

Now for the last size change.
1) We need to find the header for the overall CHUNK_MESH. There are a number of ways, but we'll use this.

2) In wdump look at the W3D_CHUNK_MESH_HEADER3 portion of the 3rd CHUNK_MESH. (The problem one)

3) You will see the mesh name is CVH_CHURCH and the ContainerName is CBHARADCHURCH.

4) In XVI32 do a search on the text side for "CVH_CHURCH"

5) There will be a number of them, but they will be "CVH_CHURCHB" or something like that. Search until you see only "CVH_CHURCH". It will be in the hex address 1221E. You can know you are in the correct one because you'll see a               

Code

74 00 00 00

12 sapces before it.

6) Go back another 4 and you will see a               

Code

1F 00 00 00 74 00 00 00

7) Before the "1F" is the size of the chunk. For he cbharadchurch it is               

Code

22 0B 04 80

8) For this value we are going to add A7. (The amount of data we added.) So take 80040B22+A7.

9) The result is 80040BC9 which is [codeC9 0B 40 80[/code]

10) Change               

Code

22 0B 04 80

to               

Code

C9 0B 40 80

Now the file is done. Click save as and save the file to whatever name you want. rjhbchurch.w3d is what I'll be using. Next we will be correcting the texture from rbarmory to the correct one. In this case "MBGeneric.tga". We could have done this in a hex editory, but that would mean we would have to re-calculate the chunk size each time.....I'd rather not.
