Undercover Geometry Tool
Source and more information on GitHub : https://github.com/NI240SX/UCGT
Install Java JDK : https://jdk.java.net
UCGT Geometry Editor CLI can do the following :
- decompile/compile UC geometries to/from OBJ and Z3D v2 (no FBX support yet as it is quite pointless in the current state)
- convert your CTK configuration files to UCGT readable ones
- optimize and compress the obtained model to achieve a file size 20 to 40% lighter than CTK, or leave it decompressed for faster loading ingame and easier troubleshooting
- correctly decompile and compile all materials, including doorlines, unmapped carskin, tires...
- assign custom textures to anything within the limits of the game engine (normal maps, opacity, selfillumination, swatch and more)
- it does not randomly break UV and normals for no reason whatsoever
- it does not randomly unweld your model for no reason whatsoever
- it does not randomly cause weird rendering in frontend on some parts
- automatically weld similar vertices to optimize the model
- import vertex colors for pre-baked AO or calculate them using a fast method
- change the scale of markers
- link Autosculpt parts to morph together (such as all KITW01 parts for instance)
- compile welded Autosculpt meshes, much lighter and more optimized for the game than what CTK does
- attempt to fix broken normals on certain vanilla Autosculpt zones
- fix rendering priority issues between overlapping transparent textures
- rename and delete specific parts
- make LODs by copying the closest part available
- allows for a lighter configuration file thanks to partial matches for assigning markers and renaming parts
- and more...

ProStreet is actually a bit simpler and in that matter CTK breaks way less things. I looked it up a little, and the main issue with this game (and earlier) is one of the archiving formats it uses for compressing car parts, which I did not find an open-source decompiler for. So my priorities for this tool are rather polishing UC support (there's some minor issues I keep finding), giving it a GUI and support for compiling textures so CTK will be definitely outdated for UC. After that... I'll see

Would be cool to see if ProStreet support comes next just cause it's similar to UC, I think..?

hopefully my porsche won't be broken this time

only undercover (because it's a game i love to mod and because it's got the worse ctk support out of all, it has new generation material settings which are very powerful but unusable until now), though i might look into making it compatible with some previous titles
