Modding possible?

[Jordnski]

So i made a curious discovery just a few minutes ago, i was able to unpack Farcry 5's .dat files with the Dunia tools found on Farcry primal nexus and use the primal unpack option since none of the others worked, so im assuming it was built apon the same variant of the dunia engine that farcry primal was built with. IF anyone has modding ability please add me i'd like to ask you some questions regarding possibly modding farcry 5.

You need to be able to unpack .fat files. Those are the ones containing the important files.

Denuvo will prolly prevent mods.

Yah i was able to unpack the .fat/dat files but i have no experience modding at all, im hoping some who does will see this and maybe we'll see some mods

How exactly did you unpack it? Modding is fairly easy to do

I used this tool found here - https://www.nexusmods.com/farcryprimal/mods/5

I used the primal unpacker to unpack the fat/dat files for farcry 5.

Did you repack it?

and test?

[Sgerbwd Gwyn]

Unpacking it won't work when it's a different version. The output is not interpreted correctly at all, we'll probably need to wait for someone to crack the game before we have the correct tools

I tried using the primal tools and the binary to XML converters, but none of them seem to function with the newer Far Cry 5 data

Very interesting.
If someone who is mod savvy or has the patience to show me how to, i would love to be able to reskin the player character with tatto's on the forearm. Several npc's have them such as Dutch and Eli.

FAT files contain almost none of the data you'll be extracting, they're simply an index table that is required for extraction. You can use patchenglish.dat (overwrites files) to add mods. Join the modding Discord here: https://discord.gg/PkQUfvS

Yes, it's possible. There's lots of screenshots on the Discord server, and people to ask for help.
