just in case, to inform you that I have no crystal ball to guess the desire and the contents of incorrect files.

I think that the files are very simple, but the contents is just xor-ed. look at any br.w3strings, inside there is almost clean text (UTF16 with some html tags).

full command line?

Not a simple XOR. They are probably using a hash/key. Anyone around that is able to make an unpacker/repacker for this?

"unpacker" is quite simple, but the decoder - not yet. and yes, strings are not just xored.

Anyone figured out how to open .buffer files

witcher3.map for 1.0.2
Maybe helps =)

Haoose Just wanted to ask that how to use witcher.map file...

Anyone checked the models from game? Similar format with W2 ones?

Mod mod mod, all works about with this files. This is boring and some people dislikes from mods. anybody coder not dealing with Localization files, .w3strings files.

someone try extract 3d models/textures?

Captured some textures and found that plant life textures look very interesting. I wonder what purpose all that smudging around the texture serves. Any idea?

Nothing particular. Just how many artists do textures for small, detailed meshes like hair or, in this case, foliage. An alpha channel will hide the excess (the "smudges").

No, this doesn't look accidental and it's obvious to me that the process serves some purpose. So my question still stands why textures for small detailed meshes with transparency are done this way.

Most of the time we make a selection of the alpha channel (transparency) and then blur the edges in a second layer. This methods prevents from small artifacts on the edges.
My question is : which kind of image do you get ? (.dds/.tif/.tga/...) and can you repack them in the archive ?

Thanks for explanation. That makes sense. Unfortunately, I don't know how to unpack/repack. It's possible to get any texture/object/shader with this handy tool: http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks ... erfstudio/
