Hello! I'm sorry if this has been posted comprehensively somewhere else, but all I'm finding is since then deleted apps and plugins and I'm quite lost.

Ninjaripper does not seem to work with BDO right now (It must have something to do with the anticheat)

Is there another way being used these days? I'd very much appreciate a little help!

Thanks for reading!

(So why open a new thread for BDO? )

Above mentioned post points to another one including a blender 2.49b plugin:

I guess because I'm a little lost and dense!

A lot of the instructions talk about .pac files, but the ones that I need are .pam files. Noesis doesn't seem able to read them, and I can't seem to find a way to convert them either.

I'll give your blender plugin a try.

You can open the .PAC/PAB; .PAM; .PCM files using the following programs:

- 3D Object Converter v9.003 (Windows)
- i3DConverter v4.302 (macOS)
- i3DConverter v2.302 (Linux)

How to get the 3D Object Converter v9.003:
Download the 3D Object Converter from http://3doc.i3dconverter.com and install it or download and use the portable version (if you don’t have it yet).
(Or just use the Help/Check for updates... function to get the v9.003.)

How to get the i3DConverter macOS v4.302:
Download the i3DConverter from http://www.i3dconverter.com and install it (if you don’t have it yet).
(Or just use the Help/Check for updates... function to get the v4.302.)

How to get the i3DConverter Linux v2.302:
Download the i3DConverter from http://www.i3dconverter.com and install it (if you don’t have it yet).
(Or just use the Help/Check for updates... function to get the v2.302.)

Some people don't want to pay a small fee for a GREAT program.
I am a paid owner of your program and I love all your work!

Thank you! Looks like a great program!

I'm sure it's great, but for me it isn't a small fee. I live in a third world country, my money is devalued af, and I also get charged extra for buying digital software internationally.
Believe it or not, what is a fee to you, is worth a month of rent in here. Crazy world, innit?

@Meria: what's your progress with the blender plugin?

(Never used it with .pam files, to be honest, because I don't have any samples of static meshes.)

I downloaded the correct version and tried to install the plugin, and it displays as it has installed properly but it doesn't allow me to activate it afterwards (it's not on the list of installed plugins) and thus I can't import files.

I'm probably doing something wrong, so I'm going to keep trying.

Talking about File\Import list? Well, it's not there and you usually don't "install" Mariusz' scripts. Just load the .blend file and use the script:

Oh, I'm used to newer versions of blender and installable plugins, lmao.

Could you elaborate further on what the process to get it working is? What I've done so far is...

1. Downloaded blender-2.49b-win64-python26.zip from https://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.49b/
2. Downloaded the pam plugin.
3. Extracted the pam plugin.
4. Opened blender 2.49b.
5. Tried to load the save in the pam plugin folder.

And then blender abruptly closes.

UPDATE!

Okay! I got it working... Ish! I've managed to open the save successfuly and get to the Import window. However, when I select the .pam file I want to import, nothing happens. I'll attach a sample in case you want to test it.

hah, in blender's console window:

Compiled with Python version 2.6.2.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
WARNING:unknown version: 1542

What a bummer. (supported versions: 1030 and 1286)

Wait, the static mesh format is not that hard (using hex2obj, view ink in my sig):

This works like a charm! Thank you so much, you're amazing!

Woops! Update on that!

As I continued to extract models I started noticing that more and more were not working properly. I got lucky with the first ones I tried, but most of them give this error:

It does not allow to preview nor to export.
