Custom textures for AAO2.8.5
« on: Tuesday, May 30, 2017, 09:01:52 AM »
Hey guys,

i rediscovered America's Army 2.8.5 and i'm playing LAN with my buddies. Lots of fun!
I'm also trying to build my own maps using the AAEditor. They are just for private use on LAN sessions.

Since no import function is implemented in AAEditor and the texture package files of AAO2.8.5 are encrypted, it seems to be impossible to use custom textures.

Here is my question:
Does anyone have an encrypt/decrypt program for AAO2.8.5? I know that such kind of tool exists - i think it's called "AACrypt" - but i cant find a working download link. My aim is to make custom UTX files readable for 2.8.5. I know this stuff is pretty old but it would be very helpfull to have this little tool.

Can somebody post me a download link please? That would be just great.
If there is another way to import / use custom textures in AAEditor i would be thankfull for telling me how to do.

Thanks in advance!

Well dudes, good to know that other people are still supporting 2.8.5. I will see you there, Vanoke. But this is not what i was asking for.

Unfortunately the conversation here is not hitting the spot.

So back to topic. I'm pretty sure that there is a way to use my own textures in 2.8.5. Maybe i'ts not that easy but it must be possible. In my humble oppinion the easiest way is to make an UTX file that is readable for the AAEditor. I tried that by creating UTX packages using "UnrealEngine2Runtime" and "UT2004" editors. But they are different versions (as i expected) and are not accepted by the AAEditor. Maybe i'm wrong but i was thinking that an encryption of the UTX file does the trick. There are tools out there to do something like this. I heard about AA2.8.5Converter, AARE and AACrypt. But i can't find any download links.

As far as i know ELiZ was one of the guys who cracked the encryption nut of 2.8.5. Maybe he or somebody from the dev team can help me to find a solution.

I would really appreciate it.
