Ok, so I've managed to get rid of the error and has successfully extracted an SMD and ASCII fileJavedWilde wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 1:30 pm Im geting this error
im trying to extract files from the pc version
I used DecimaExplorer by Jayveer to extract the core files
but have no clue how to proceed from there
any help
its just for combining i think, how to open one tho (EDIT, Im dumb af, I was just one google search away, imma try to use blender source tools and see how that goes)Merge all ASCII files into one as text file, then copypaste skeleton into it.
Then count submeshes (it will correspond to number of "material" string)
and put a number of submeshes after the skeleton (before all the actual data).
This number will correspond to number of "material" string in all files.
Same for SMD files, just no need to count submeshes.
The file redfox_lx doesn't create anything when dragged onto horizon.exe, same goes for any file which is a meshgokuhs wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 9:10 am After spending many hours trying to extract the models and thanks to the invaluable help of Raban, I leave you a small mini guide for people like me who are starting on this.
My big problem was the copy of the game, I tried with a PKG of the edition European Complete Edition and as a result it generated empty models. I lost a couple of hours on it, because I thought the problem was mine, but no, it must be that the Daemon tool is not compatible with this version of the game. So i reomend use a copy of the European Standard version (Code: CUSA07319), you can get from the original disk with an a hacked PS4 o try to find an a Fake PKG of the Game (41 GB Aprox)
We will need this software:
1- Oviusly the daemon1's tool i use this version
2- The latest version of PKG tool, you can get it here
3- The latest version of noesis for show and export the models
4- A lot of patience, the process is tedious![[roll]](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif "rolleyes")
1- The first thing we you need is extract the PKG, for this we use PS4 PKG Tool, is easy, open the folder were are stored the PKG > Right click on the game > Extract PKG Contents.
2- Now get the daemon1 tool and put it inside "packet_pink" folder.
3- Edit (or create if not exist) the file horizon.ini, and paste inside it the path to the packet_pink folder (including "packet_pink")
4- Open the tool, if we do correctly the tool was generate one big file "res.txt"
5- You can filter the file to be alone with what we want to extract. You can use Excel to filter this.
6- Now i copy paste the PM that Raban sent me, I asked him as an example the model of the red fox.
Now we can get the model with bones, so we can load it in Noesis. So open noesis, and navigate to the packet_pink folder, and open redfox smd file. And that it, if you do correctly you can see the fox.1. create a .txt-file, name it "list" and place it in the folder where Daemon's horizon.exe is
2. paste these lines into that .txt:
models/characters/animals/redfox/animation/parts/redfox_lx
models/characters/animals/redfox/animation/skeletons/skeleton_rootbone
3. run horizon from windows-command-line like this "horizon /x list.txt"
4. you should now have some .core-files
5. drag and drop redfox_lx.core on horizon.exe; you should get
redfox_lx.core.smd
redfox_lx.core.mesh.ascii
a matrices file
and a bunch of txt which contain the ressource paths for the textures (you can paste those in a new list.txt afterwards)
6. now drag and drop skeleton_rootbone.core on horizon.exe; this should yield:
skeleton_rootbone.core.smd
skeleton_rootbone.core.mesh.ascii
7. open "skeleton_rootbone.core.smd" with the notepad and copy everything that's in there
8. open "redfox_lx.core.smd" with the notepad and paste what you've copied - be careful though you probably have to delete some lines from the target or source file (I think the source already had the header in there);
it should look like this:
version 1
nodes
0 ...
1 ...
... (listing all the bones)
end
skeleton
time 0 (meaning the bind pose of the skeleton)
0 ...
1 ...
... (listing of Rot and Loc of each bone for that pose, meaning their default position)
end
triangles (now begins the description of the geometry that stuff is what's already written in)
assets/bla/blabla
0 ...
0 ...
0 ...
...
end
8.5. make sure you don't have any repeating lines; having the lines "end|skeleton" two times in the file is a big no-no
9. you should be good to go now
Now we can export it to use in Blender for example. To do it, in Noesis select File > Export..., and select as Collada. In blender create a new scene, remove de default cube, and import this exported file on it.
PD> If you extract the textures, you can use it directly in the latest version of Blender. This is an example of result (Remember, I'm noob in 3D design)
PD2> Many thanks especially to Raban for the help provided and to Daemon1 for his fantastic tool
Thanks for the quick reply.

Avoid at all costs the GitHub what ever PKG extractor you found they always give errors and users have problems, for old FakePKGs that where available for firmware exploited up to 5.05 use (new FakePKGs built for exploited firmware on 6.72 it wont work, use instead Fake_PKG_Generator v3.38+):
How did you extract the core file? I can get the core file well, but im lost from there lolJavedWilde wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 8:08 amOk, so I've managed to get rid of the error and has successfully extracted an SMD and ASCII fileJavedWilde wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 1:30 pm Im geting this error

no I have no clue wat to do next, how do I open an SMD/ascii fileits just for combining i think, how to open one tho (EDIT, Im dumb af, I was just one google search away, imma try to use blender source tools and see how that goes)Merge all ASCII files into one as text file, then copypaste skeleton into it.

Same for SMD files, just no need to count submeshes.
for people who are trying to extract it from PC,
in the horizon.ini folder, point the locations to <Game Location>\Packed_DX12 and remove everything except initial.bin
Run Horizon and extract the files from there
for some reason, core files extracted from Decima Explorer did not work by dragging and dropping
Also, instead of oo2core_5_win64.dll, use oo2core_6_win64.dll, just change the name, weirdly, 5 didn't work for me, 6 did

Or has anyone managed to extract meshes from the PC version?
Cheers
I've checked some *.core files in the folder sounds. There are subfolders called wav. Core files in these subfolders seems to be MP3 Audio format. (Try open these files your preferred Wave editor)zero wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 7:40 amThanks everyone that has been working on this kind of tools.qs12 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 3:52 amhttps://github.com/Jayveer/Decima-Explorer this is the only thing at the moment there's no telling when daemon will make this and Death Stranding pc supportedMrMendelli wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 2:54 am I don't know if you still watch this thread, but it seems like it was last active recently.

I can confirm that this tool works in the pc version.
Now the daemon horizon tool we can get the animations or the skeleton no problem from the pc version.
However the models we can't it does nothing lol.
I hope daemon adds support to his wonderful tool.
I can help with whatever I can files, the pc full game on steam you name it. Just pm and I will do what I can.
Thanks everyone and keep up that awesome work.
