@GeckoEidechse if you have the time. Can you re-review this? If you remember any of the issues/problems you had with it. I remember

Just so I don't forget, the main guide was made by Harb. |

Seems to be a duplicated (mostly) file here, or I'm missing something.
Also, this has very little to do with RPaks, I'd prefer if they were left out of the title. (Titanfall 2 doesn't use RPaks for models but Apex does, I'd prefer to avoid any potential confusion)
I think "Model Modding" would suffice, as the tutorial would work for pretty much any model, just using a pilot model as an example. (similarly to how "RPak Modding" uses a camo RPak as an example in it's tutorial) It would also fit better alongside the other tutorial names.

Is this the same as rpakpilotmodding.rst

An order version, yes.
I didn't know this file existed. I'll clear it up, thanks for pointing it out.

I would prefer if a different vpk tool was recommended here, as they are generally considered better these days (Crowbar can do vpk extraction for titanfall 2 properly, so you could just recommend Crowbar for it to avoid having too many required tools)
This change would however require a rewriting/rewording of the section dedicated to extracting the model from the vpk

I never recommended a specific vpk tool.
I will take another look in VPK tools to see what is the overall best, but I just continued with cra0's VPKTool because it's popular use in tutorials, it's ability to unpack AND repack.
If I choose Crowbar, I'll rewrite the necessary content.

This should advise to turn on "Show full asset paths" in Legion+ settings, which I believe is off by default

I noticed that but this was just an .rst translation so I kept it "as is". Considering the amount of adjustments and rewriting, I will now add your suggestion.

Any chance the base guide could be linked here?

Sure.
I'll add the original google link, and experiment with the file sharing on the docs.

This should probably also specify that _f models are the female ones and _m models are the male ones, for completeness and to avoid any potential confusion
