.cat files in Act.img
« on: January 04, 2013, 03:39:33 PM »
I am curious to whether it's possible to extract the contents of a .Cat file or something. I noticed the player's strafe on Bully (if you have an AI's fighting style) looks like the player is cheering, much like the "strafe" when other characters are watching a fight. I want to try and open Block.cat so I can modify it + see if I can get the normal Preppie strafe. Does anyone know if it's possible? (Yet)

Well, through the catalog file method, you'd work on locomotion.cat.

But there is a lua method.

I'm probably going to be making a tutorial later on this once I get more of a grip on it.

I've been needing help withthis.

The anims are .cat, right?

Windows 7 automatically sees every .cat file as a security catalog.
Anyway to bypass this?
Or any software?

I've tried opening the .cat file with
Autodesk 3DS Max 2009
NifSkope


None was sucessful.

That's what I want to know... There must be some way to open the .cat files, then maybe we would have a chance to change the stupid strafe. XD

SWEGTA is working on a tutorial.

Derby with his boss fighting style and AI as a bodyguard has the "cheering" strafe.

Greenomnitrix got the P_Striker_A strafe Swapping Block.cat with Strafe_Preppie.cat.
The only problem was that everyone started strafing like that and Jimmy was uncontrolable.

I know, I've seen. MinimoBarba (MilkerBarba on YouTube) made a video on the fixed strafe, but it hasn't been released yet because of bugs.

Trust me, nobody has fixed the strafe.

Right now, we can't work with the catalog files since they're compiled.

But as for the lua scripting method, I know what controls the strafe, but I haven't fully pinpointed how to enable it.

Mikerbarba never said it was fixed Jordan
It was half done but still buggy.
And for the .cat file its isn't easy to work on manually.
Messing with a single code in .cat for amateurs = massive horror

Many people misuse the words "amateur" and "professional". Being a professional doesn't make you good, it just means you are paid for what you do. As for amateurs, you can be good OR bad, but it means you aren't paid. ;) Oops, going a little off topic. xD Sorry.
