Video and Wiki Interlaced Guide.

This is a experimental Documentation/Video Mix concept. This is designed to provide the follow along/depth that a video can provide and the detail/explain-ability that a wiki/document can provide.
Yes this is like Khan Academy. Give me feedback on this idea. I wish this would become a sort of video hoster concept. Maybe, if this is a success.
Anyways. Here is the follow along video:
On a separate tab head to:

Titanfall VPK Tool
Legion
Legion+
Blender
Blender Source Tool
S/G Shader
blender_source_tools_3.2.2.zip
blender-x.x.x-windows-x64.msi
Legion+x.x.x.zip
LegionReleasev2.43.zip
SG_Shader.blend
Titanfall_VPKTool3.4_Portable.zip
Don't unpack blender_source_tools_3.2.2.zip You don't need to. If you do. Don't worry, Just delete the unpacked folder.
Downloading all required tools and files (the prerequisites listed above).
Expecting you to unpack the file yourself lol.
On the top left of the VPKTool. Press the first icon to 'Open' and choose a VPK. You are looking for englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk .
Click the second to last icon from left to right on the top left of the VPKTool. This is the 'Extract All' button if you just hover over it. Extract everything into a seperate folder (like i did).
Don't forget to close out of your open VPK when exiting VPKTool.
Organizing tools because i'm better than you.
Bottom right on Legion press the red outlined 'Settings' button to Change the 'Export Format' to 'Valve SMD'.
Find your desired model and drag & drop onto Legion (after pressing and opening the 'Titanfall 2' button.
A LOT of texture assets are in "common.rpak". This is the one i need for the mgl though. If you cannot find your textures using the search functions, try opening rpaks and starpaks camo_skin00_col.rpak through common_sp(11).rpak . You can open multiple at a time; I found myself only to open 50~60 at a time with Legion+ though.
Using the search function on the top left. Search your weapons names, script names, beta name, or something like that. What to download? The skin31 textures are the 'same' as the regular textures as far as i can tell. So just download everything that has a standard name alongside a texture map extension. Much like
mgl_at
mgl_at_ao
mgl_at_cav
mgl_at_col
mgl_at_gls
mgl_at_nml
See how they sort of have a pattern? These are enough to fully texture the gun in Blender.
