Utility to generate png files from Borderlands 2 in-game skin files.
This project is available on PyPi, however pre-compiled binaries only come for Python 3.8 64bit on Windows.
If this meets your requirements, you can install it using pip install BL2_skingen, which will create the entry script bl2-skingen.
Should be handled by pip as long as you have a compiler and Cython set up, otherwise:
- Download and extract the repo somewhere.
- Make sure you have the following python packages installed: Cython, Pillow and numpy.
- You can do so with:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- You can do so with:
- Navigate a terminal to the project's root folder.
- Compile the .pyx files to binaries by running
py setup.py build_ext --inplace.
- To extract the packets from Borderlands 2 use UE Viewer/umodel. The filepaths are hardcoded to locate the files the way UE Viewer extracts them.
- If you installed the PyPi package, the entry script will be placed in
%PYTHONPATH%/Scriptsand should be accessible withbl2-skingenanywhere if the location is in your system's path. - If you installed the script manually, navigate a terminal to the directory, the script can be run there with
py <Installationdir>/skingen.py - For help on options, run the script without any arguments.
Example :
bl2-skingen C:\Skinfiles\CD_Assasin_OrangeD_SF -out C:\Skinfiles\GEN -exc-head
