Alien Isolation (.PAK .BIN)
Re: Alien Isolation (.PAK .BIN)
Thanks Cra0 for the texture tool. Nice job
Hope to see a model extractor soon to modify maps, weapons, and of course, the Alien.

Re: Alien Isolation (.PAK .BIN)
Hi cra0, thank you very much for your work, I immediately tried it and I've already found some problems, I tried to extract a level and I got this error: Warning this texture is unknown.
This is an example:
book_colouring[d].tga.dds.unk
book_colouring[d].info
TextureInfo
{
TexPath: ayz\books\book_colouring[d].tga
Width: 0
Height: 0
TexHeader
{
magic4:
DXGI_FORMAT:134217728
unk2:29418
texchunkSize:0
varSlotSub:25972
varSlot:13432
varSlot2:13
width:0
unk6:174752
unk7:43680
unk8:8388864
unk9:33554433
unk10:65792
unk11:458758
}
}
Obviously if I try to open the texture photoshop crashes (I use the nvidia plugin for dds), however I have uploaded the file maybe you understand the problem.

I'm also verifying that not all textures are extracted completely, like this:

This is an example:
book_colouring[d].tga.dds.unk
book_colouring[d].info

That file is BC7, which he already said in the first post he can't convert yet. He's working on it.TerryXX wrote:Hi cra0, thank you very much for your work, I immediately tried it and I've already found some problems, I tried to extract a level and I got this error: Warning this texture is unknown.
However, some things to note:
The DDS header is missing the Width, Height, and Pitch values. I entered 256 height and 512 width and got this with a BC7 converter:

So shouldn't be to hard to handle. The tricky part will be guessing the missing header values.
Another Converter to add to the list: http://sourceforge.net/projects/texgenpack/
Seems to have no problem converting BC7. But it does require you get the DLL from a separate project for it to work.

Could you zip me up a folder with that including its dependencies I tried getting libpng/libfgen still can't get it to compilevolfin wrote:That file is BC7, which he already said in the first post he can't convert yet.

If it all works i can just create a wrapper dll for the extractor and use those functions.
What archive is this located in?TerryXX wrote:Hi cra0, thank you very much for your work, I immediately tried it and I've already found some problems, I tried to extract a level and I got this error: Warning this texture is unknown.

Re: Alien Isolation (.PAK .BIN)
I tried and its works, the ones in the format BC7 I think it's the only missing.

Missing? Didn't you read what volfin wrote ...TerryXX wrote:I tried and its works, the ones in the format BC7 I think it's the only missing.
Re: Alien Isolation (.PAK .BIN)
Yes I read it, with "missing" I meant need only the support for the BC7 file, for to have a single extractor, always if you want to do of course.

Ah alright yep I've been meaning to make a c# library for DXT11 stuff going to start wrapping directxtex now.TerryXX wrote:Yes I read it, with "missing" I meant need only the support for the BC7 file, for to have a single extractor, always if you want to do of course.
Code: Select all

Re: Alien Isolation (.PAK .BIN)
Hey cra0,
Thanks so much for your work.
I would still like to try to get to some of the materials but they don't use the header style, they use blah.pak/blah_bin.pak/blah_idx_remap.pak. I have pm'd one of the triplets. If you have any thoughts on how to decode these bits I would be really interested.

They are chunked compiled shader code put together If you want to examine shader stuff I would recommend running the game through Intel's Graphic analysis tools.alterian wrote:Hey cra0,

Re: Alien Isolation (.PAK .BIN)
Hey guys,
If any of you happen to come across the in game posters while you're extracting textures, would you shoot a copy my way? Particularly after the ones with the androids in them. Just want to print full size versions for my room.
Cheers guys,
