Special thanks to the following users for contributing to elements that made up this guide.

  • BobDoleOwndU for the original custom path research and concept, in addition to being a wellspring of encyclopedic knowledge on MGSV modding. Also provided the location to the model file of the supply box which was used in this guide.
  • caplag for a variety of tips about FTEX/PFTXS. Was via one of cap's mods that I first encountered the technique and was inspired to automate the hex editing part of the process.
  • tinmantex for creating a custom debug camera menu script that allowed for in-vehicle freecam, a first for Infinite Heaven, used for the SnakeBite section graphic. Just amazing.
  • glecas for providing a blank FMDL, allowing the creation of the necessary model swap in order to complete the Credits graphic above.
  • 50PercentJoe for indirectly giving me the motivation to complete a guide to explain this method.
