Hey everyone, sorry for being gone for so long... college really weighs you down.
Anyways, I've been messing around with Street Fighter V files again, and noticed something cool.
When you change the header of a .uasset file extracted from a pakchunk file, something like RYU_01.uasset (Ryu's Default Costume Mesh) with the header of a .uasset imported from an FBX in Unreal Engine 4, Umodel will instantly read the file as if it was already assigned a version number. This means you don't have to override Unreal Engine detection to UE 4.7 every time you load the file.
My theory is this: Suppose you can get the original .uasset from Capcom inside your Unreal Engine project, and all you had to do is tinker the hex data a bit, by changing the header. After that, one would just place the modified Capcom .uasset inside the Content folder from their Unreal Project, all from the Windows Explorer.
This is just a working hypothesis though, and I haven't been able to get anything working yet. I'll update this post more as time goes on, depending if there is a breakthrough or not.
