Summary: Apply camouflages and skins to your H3VR guns or items. Download camo packs separately! Some camos need to be unlocked using a pick-your-own system which gives Quests in TnH. There is a cheat-code menu behind the help-button to bypass quests.

Challenges!

DISCLAIMER: You need to be holding or QuickBelt the gun you bound your challenge to while the TnH scoring event happens in order to get challenge progress.

Tutorial:

How to unlock a camo

1. Select locked camo
2. Pick any challenge from Select Camo's Unlock Challenge section
3. Place a weapon on the quickbelt slot above the panel (non-firearm items already have all camos unlocked)
4. Click Accept camo Challenge on this Gun
5. This challenge is now bound to that firearm, once the challenge is completed the camo will be unlocked for ALL firearms

How to unlock a Mastery camo

1. Place a weapon on the quickbelt slot above the panel (non-firearm items already have all camos unlocked)
2. All mastery challenges will automatically show up in the View Gun's Active Challenges section; no need to bind them. They can be identified by the xx_mastery prefix in their camo name.
3. Challenge progress will automatically track
4. For most mastery camos, once the challenge is completed the camo will be unlocked ONLY for this firearm

How to complete the Camo Challenge

1. Read the description of your selected challenge for the Unlocks Camo in the View Gun's Active Challenges section
2. Enter a game of TnH and spawn the weapon you applied the challenge to
3. Perform the activity in the description of the challenge ensuring that you're at holding the weapon or have it in your quickbelt while the scoring event happens
   i. Example 1: You have a challenge to complete a TnH Hold. If you drop the weapon on the floor as the hold ends, you will not get your point.
   ii. Example 2: You have a challenge to kill Sosigs in a TnH Hold. If you kill a sosig at a supply point, that will not count for progress.

Rules

• A challenge's progress tracks only stuff done while holding the challenge's bound gun in your hand or quickbelt
• Each gun can unlock a max of 5 camos
• 'Unbind Challenge' from a gun to replace it with another. Challenge must not already be completed. Mastery camos do not count towards this limit.
• The save file for quests is kept as a JSON file independently per profile in folder \AppData\Roaming\r2modmanPlus-local\H3VR\profiles\<YOUR_PROFILE_NAME>\BepInEx\plugins\NGA-ProfileSaveFolder

Add Your Own Camo Packs

You can add your own camo packs by creating an empty mod and simply adding PNG files (textures) following this naming pattern
xx_CamoPackName_CamoType_CamoName.png

• CamoPackName: This could be the name of the game the camos were inspired from; example "MW19". Contains at least one "CamoType".
• CamoType: A subtype of camouflage, for now only 12 can be displayed. Examples: "Spray", "Reptile"
• CamoName: The actual name of the camouflage, what will be displayed to user
  BEWARE: Textures can BALLOON up in size, a good healthy number to shoot for is an average of 500KB per PNG to maintain quality and save space.

ADVANCED Camos (NEW!)

You can generate much more detailed camos using our new Shader JSON, examples of which are included in the NGA-MasteryCamos folder inside your R2MM plugins directory.

1. Copy-paste the example from NGA-MasteryCamos
2. Change the file title to xx_CamoPackName_CamoType_CamoName.json.
   a. IMPORTANT: There must exist a PNG file with the same name xx_CamoPackName_CamoType_CamoName.png
3. Set the ColorTexture field to the name of your PNG xx_CamoPackName_CamoType_CamoName, this will be the base camo.
4. Fill out all other fields accordingly.
   TIP: You can edit this file Live while the game is running, just click Apply Camo in-game after making your changes.

Bugs

• Feedback form: https://forms.gle/g4bbi8PZTU2rNXN99
