I haven't worked on many AAA engine animations, so most stuff was new to me in terms of compression Especially variable bit length streams, but I know it is used by some other games too.

i was talking about different thing

old or broken QuickBMS version

They are using many different techniques depending on the situation.

I'm not talking about techniques here. This is common, and not much different from others.
The way they encode the very basic thing: data tracks. And also quaternion compression.

The tool should be able to handle the animations For their animations, Naughty dogs did things i've never seen before in any other engine. Real crazy things. I couldn't solve it whatever i tried. The only way was to reverse and debug the original SPU code. But now, after i did that, i think it was ...

Looking for help with UVs When I extract the pak file I get ASCIIs and SMDs. Blender gives me an error when I try and open the ASCIIs but will open the SMDs with 1 UV map, there are supposed to be 3. I've tried opening in NOESIS and exporting the ASCIIs as FBX. Doing that I get 2 UVs but I'm still ...

For anyone having the same issue. I realized I needed to use the cmd prompt instead of dragging and dropping on the .exe

No, you can still drop files on the .exe
Just in this case its important that you select them in right order before you drop them

Maybe not all pak can fully extract for example world-watchtower-dict.pak. msg say "Texture pah+name too long. Truncated", so this broke up.

this is not the problem of a tool. There's a limit for path length in windows. Use shorter paths.
but All files will be extracted in any case.

even the Detroit tool has the same problem with the texture as your tool

what is that "Detroit tool" you are talking about? isnt it just using my tools inside?

if you think something is wrong, what is exact model number, and texture number?

I would have liked not to retouch them I even tested the Detroit tool, it's the same as your tools
it has problem on the texture even the color

"if you could just fix the texture problem and update it from your tool that would be super nice"

there is NO texture problem
there is nothing to fix

tool can't just stop
must be an error message
