How to add your weapon to the steam workshop

Henry08 · Apr 20, 2017

If you made your weapon using SDK A tutorial you will probably find that it does not work after packing to workshop vpp_pc archive. So I'll try to teach you how to do it manualy and I belive that some guys from the forum will correct me.

Note: Tutorial was made when Flow754's Weapon Clone Tool did't exist. Use it for copy weapon's settings

Weapon system is not very flexible so you need to choose weapon that most closely resembles yours and copy its settings. For my GBE that is tini loctus, secret weapon with high damage

All you need to pack your weapon are:

SDK B
Notepad++
Minimaul's Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV and Gat Out Of Hell tools and patience, lot of patience

1) First of all you need to convert your prepared weapon file with SDK but do not pack it. SDK convertor will create "output" folder where your weapon's fbx located so go there

2) Then you need to pack your weapon files to the archives so in the "output" create two new folder your_weapon's_name and your_weapon's_name_high.

In my case that is

Copy files with _high in name to the your_weapon's_name_high folder and others to the your_weapon's_name also you can put there your weapon icon files.

On this step you can add icon for your weapon. There is any dds image file packed to cpeg-gpeg game format placed to the your_weapon's_name folder .IDK which size of icon is right, I choose 128x64, and please naming your icon like ui_inv_ your_weapon's_name
More simple and hacky way is rename your cpeg-gpeg files to always_loaded and put to your mod folder. Flow754 doing this

Run ThomasJepp.SaintsRow.BuildPackfileGUI.exe and pack each folder to your mod folder. That can be any empty folder

3) After there you need to unpack misc_tables.vpp_pc file from Saints Row IV\packfiles\pc\cache directory and find there 6 files:
- items_3d.xtbl
- items_inventory.xtbl
- store_weapons.xtbl
- weapon_costumes.xtbl
- weapon_upgrades.xtbl
- weapons.xtbl
4) Create empty text files with same names in your mod folder and write this to each file

Code:

<root>
    <Table>
    </Table>
</root>

Your weapon setting need to be placed between <Table></Table> tags for correct adding to the game
5) Open extracted items_3d.xtbl and find <Item> tag with needed weapon setting and copy to your file. There is basic

6) Open extracted items_inventory.xtbl again find <Inventory_Item> tag with needed weapon settings and copy to your file

7) Open extracted store_weapons.xtbl again find <Store_Weapons> tag with needed weapon settings and copy to your file don't forget copy <_Editor> section

8) Open extracted weapons.xtbl that importan file where lies main weapon settings, find <Weapon> tag with needed weapon settings and copy to your file. There are too many settings the meaning of which I do not know so main there

9) Open extracted weapon_upgrades.xtbl same strategy here. Weapon can have few upgrades and some Ultimate Upgrade

11) Open extracted weapon_costumes.xtbl There is main files where all values getting together copy needed <Costume> section

12) Almost all we also need to create some asm files for loading our files to the game. Dont afraind you need only to prescribe what's inside your archives in the <Container> section

your_weapon's_name_high in the items_containers.xml and mods_costumes.xml,
your_weapon's_name in the items_preload_containers.xml
Few rules:
rigged mesh Type="Character mesh"
rig mesh Type="Rig"
static mes Type="Static Mesh"
cpeg Type="Peg"
matlib Type="Material"

items_preload_containers.xml

items_containers.xml - mods_costumes.xml

Convert xml files to asm_pc by ThomasJepp.SaintsRow.Stream2.exe and place to your mod folder. As you know that is console program for converting I'm using simple bat file

Of course you need to use your paths

If you dont want to create localization you can use existing "translation value"otherwise you must change it for your own(as I did) and create localization file

That all folks! Almost... There is tricky part, you need to pack your weapon by SDK convertor. Yeah select you mod folder and press Package. If you did everything right(very doubtful) you'll can pack your weapon by Saints Row IV - Workshop upload tool
In my case something wrong happened

Few fixes - just right

About mesh skins
When adding a skin, the scheme is slightly different. You don't need weapons.xtbl, weapon_upgrades.xtbl and store_weapons.xtbl.
In the weapon_costumes.xtbl сhange weapon entry to existed weapon

In the items_inventory.xtbl сhange the index slot to the next. The original weapon has slot 0, the next skin 1 and so on. IDK I do not know whether it is necessary but in my case third skin does not working with same ID

Please show your xml. If you adding two str2 archives you must to separate them like

Code:

<Containers>
    <Container Name="first_archive">
    </Container>
    <Container Name="second_archive">
    </Container>
<Containers>

Everything is ok with the xml. I renamed my weapon to STAG_Rifle convert it and packed to str2

Then your xml was converted to asm_pc and game did not crush. The game can crash if there are no files in the archives that are prescribed in the asm_pc. Did you repack SR3 archive and add ui_hud_STAG_Rifle.cpeg_pc file? Did you pack all your files to vpp_pc?

the issue isnt with the stag files themselves
but rather minimauls stream tool thingy not opening
just a black box that opens and closes. i showed my settings to mini, and hes gonna take a look.
