Xml files is no need to be cooked

 

1. Unbundle the bundle with required XML:

%MOD_KIT%\bin\x64\wcc_lite.exe uncook -indir=%WITCH_INST%\content\patch0\bundles -outdir=%UNBUNDLED% -skiperrors -imgfmt=tga -unbundleonly

 

2. Modify xml files

 

3. Pack (bundle) files in mod file

 

%MOD_KIT%\bin\x64\wcc_lite.exe pack -dir=%UNBUNDLED% -outdir=%MOD%\content\

 

4. Generate meta file for your mod

 

%MOD_KIT%\bin\x64\wcc_lite.exe metadatastore -path=%MOD%\content\

 

5. After that you should have mod dir with required files. Mod folder should have the name starting with "mod<ModName>" and have content folder in it.

Modified models do not seem to be importable at the moment. They keep getting rejected by the tools for me.

 

I made a GUI for the Witcher 3 Mod Kit. Check it out.

Is it also possible to unpack mods that only have blob0.bundle and metadata.store files? I've tried regular uncook as we would for the entire game directory (I just pointed it to the mod dir instead), but it keeps failing.

Just tried with mod I've packed, unbundled successfully

May I ask what was the command you used? :D I don't get any errors, but the output folder is empty.

Check that output folder exist. My script:

 

set MOD_KIT="D:\Witcher3ModTools"

 

D:

cd %MOD_KIT%\bin\x64\

%MOD_KIT%\bin\x64\wcc_lite.exe uncook -indir=<path_to_bundle> -outdir=G:\Witcher3MyMod\Unpacked\ -skiperrors -imgfmt=tga -unbundleonly
