Nobody seems to know what exactly this ZOLA format is, might be some kind of proprietary format. One thing is for sure though, we don't have tools to convert those yet.

@atomicool: That's the trick with the method I described. By removing those references, you can force the game to read just that one texture.

@maryangel: You can indeed force the game to load only one specific texture without its medium, high or ultra versions. You simply have to remove the affix from the file name (and keep the XBT header of the original higher quality texture), so your modified "body_white00_f_c_ultra.xbt" (or medium/hi...

Thank you, I really appreciate your work!

Sample archive files: https://im-a-dolphin.de/wd/wdl_common.zip

The archives are still in roughly the same format that WD2 had, but the compression method has changed. Is anyone willing to look into it, so that we're able to unpack / repack the archives?

Any idea what to do with *.bin files, like global/dp_global.bin? Format looks to be unknown, but the files seemingly contain some interesting data.
Also, I'm having trouble finding the actual file paths of some files inside *.packmeta files.

The XBT you've found is the one you're looking for.

You can add any filenames you found to Projects/FileNames.list. In most cases though, the game only references texture files (and other resources) by hash, meaning it's practically impossible for us to get the original filenames for them.

I can't be the only one who wants to start actually modding the game, and not just extract resources from it.
Surely there must be somebody around who is capable of making a unpacking/repacking tool?

What are our chances of getting a repack tool to play the game with mods?
What does the file system look like?

So the terrain is generated based on those "maps" when starting up the game, or how can I understand that?

So how can the *.obj and *.ascii files be merged together? There's probably a really obvious way, but I still fail to see it.

@mono24: Does the post contain anything about the map geometry format? No, only that the tool extracts the necessary data directly from the *.dat archives.
