And another small update , this time I added the KMY model preview - both wireframe and flatshaded mode. They look kinda shitty due to the degenerate triangles etc, but hey, it's just a preview, right? Also did some more code cleanups/optimizations. Tell me if I broke something ;) 3D preview window...

The file data itself might be (ZLib-?) compressed, since it usually starts with an "x". So ... whoever has a working infrastructure to test this, please volunteer. I won't have enough time over the course of the next week. ;-) Ahhh, so we HAVE extracted the files at the EXACT correct size...

Yeah i think that it MIGHT work, because seing as the AUDIO files didnt have a file extension it MAY mean that the MODEL and TEXTURE files within the DAT might not have extensions either. All i know other then THIS is that the models were made in 3D Studio MAX, yes i read it on the site somewhere, i...

I personally dont think il find MUCH use for this part of the tool BUT the Dying Informant should be over the moon. After looking at the UVAG extractions I have noticed that MGS3 ...

Now I have a RipperCore (90% strobes work) i can add formats to Rip MUCH MUCH easier. Now i am able ot rip a collection of formats, MOST being Images, but there ...
