Extracting Unreal Engine 4 Game Maps

[udkultimate]

Hello guys!!!

I am porting Fortnite to PS3 and Xbox360, I am using my modified version of UDK Engine (viewtopic.php?f=33&t=21071) for this project.

I know UE Viewer (https://www.gildor.org/projects/umodel/compat) can extract models and animations from Fortnite game, as I already extracted man of them.

However I would like to know if there is a tool, or some method to extract the entire map (level) from the game fortnite to a readable 3d format like OBJ, or import direct into 3dsmax.

I know I could use NinjaRipper to rip the map, however whenever there is a specific tool, is better.

For example, for Source Engine games (Half Life 2, Counter Strike Source, Let for Dead, Team Fortress), there is a tool called Crafty Object Viewer (http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=45) which exports the maps entirely as an OBJ file with textures and UVW coordinates, which I can import flawlessly into 3dsmax.

Is there a way to do this for Unreal Engine 4 games?

Thanks!!!

I just found this tool for kingdom hearts 3: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21066&start=45

Will this extract the map for any Unreal Engine 4 Game? Does the map meshes come textured and UVW mapped?

Thanks!

No, its a tool for KHIII, it will only work on KHIII. Each unreal game has slightly different data, and each unreal version has very different data, a tool for one will almost never work on another, unless both are using default UE4 vanilla files and formats with no customization.

Also even for KH, it doesn't come with textures, but things do come UVmapped, you'll have to extract textures and apply them seperatly.

Thanks for the answer my friend!!!

So Ninja Ripper is still the best option for this, right?

Ninja Ripper might be abe to dump the game yes, I haven't tried sorry.
But Ninja Ripper won't rip everything in its position, it will move all objects to the 0,0,0 axis.

I know I could use NinjaRipper to rip the map

you really think so?
i'd be very surprised if its even remotely possible

Hello friends. Thanks for the answers. In resume, there is no way to get an Unreal Engine 4 Game Map flawlessly like for Source Engine Maps? Anyone can recommend another method?

And the old 3D Ripper DX from Deep Shadows, would work?

Thanks.

i can only mention that comparing engines made in 2005 with modern age is not good idea
i may be wrong, but in my opinion, words "flawlessly get" and "UE4 Game Map" are from different galaxies

Ok my friends, thanks for the replies. I will try to see what I can do with ninja ripper, and if I found something interesting, I will for sure share with people here.

Were you able to rip the landscape? I can use Umodel for the characters, but it always crashes with any static meshes. I don't know if it is cause the latest updates or not? Does Ninjaripper work? Whenever I used it in the past the game crashes to desktop (tried it on Sunset Overdrive, Anthem and Mirror's Edge)

Wanted to do some renders with authentic sceneries like the load screens but alas, I cant seem to get it to work
