(you can now delete all the weapons.xml's, and all the weapons.bin's except for the main one without a number after it (the weapons.bin)
Now run the resulting weapons.xml (make sure to save) through gibbed xml2bin and place it into the dropzone. (Don't worry if this seems confusing, just use common sense and logic and you will be fine) Now remember these/mark them down in the weapons.xml.Īfter that, find the differences between all the other weapons.xml's (1,2,3 ect) with the Weapons.xml, and place all of these differences (apart from the ones from the weapons (original).xml) into the weapons.xml. Now run all these through the gibbed BinConvert (drag them onto it) then open all the resulting xml files in notepad++, and use the compare add-on to first show you the differences between the weapons.xml (with no numbers) and the weapons (original).xml. (name them weapons.bin, weapons1.bin, weapons2.bin and so on)
Now rename this weapons (original) and place it into your dropzone, along with all the other weapons.bin's you wish to merge. Then run Gibbed archive viewer and open pc0 and extract weapons.bin (or whatever file you are trying to merge) from the settings section. Now you can enjoy the entire game from the point of view of Rico, experiencing the intense. Move all the gibbed programs to your dropzone folder. This is the first ever Just Cause 2 Complete-First-Person mod. Then look through the menu you are shown until you find a plugin called Compare (it should be near the top) tick the box next to it and press install.
Install notepad++ and then run it, choose "plugins" > "plugin manager" > "show plugin manager" on the menu bar the the top. One example of an automated file merging tool can be downloaded here (external link).įirst download gibbed's modding tools from this link and Notepad++ from this place. This makes the task a lot faster and easier and eliminates minor errors that people occasionally make.
Many mods require the changing of the same files, forcing one to choose between them.Īs of the summer of 2014, there's a new mod that automates the bin file merging.
