How to Mod Back 4 Blood - Part 6: Static Mesh Model Swaps (Now much easier!)
27Part 6 of the modding tutorial has taken some work, but I've finally been able to decipher a .uexp file in a meaningful way to bring you full model swaps!
Another important note that I didn't mention in the video: make sure that the model you're swapping in only has a single material / texture / UV set. That way, you can ensure that the model you're inserting will both (a) not have too many UV sets, and (b) have its texture coords within the first material to allow for a texture swap.
