Hi again dear friends
.Preface
This program helps you to extract Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City PC version models and export them in both OBJ/MTL and SMD formats.
Before talking more about it, I like to mention something that in my (not necessarily your's ofcourse) opinion is really impoertant and must be discussed once and for all. So, please be patient and listen to a short story about how and mainly WHY I started game file cracking. Yeah as you might already have guessed DEMAND was my main reason.
About three monthes ago, after PC version of Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City was released, I was nothing but an ultra noob in game file cracking and really loved to have all models and textures of this game. so, after dear chrrox did a great favour and released it's bms script, I finally could get my hands on the models BUT unfortunately without any textures and BONES!!!
So, I decided to apply the textures manually by myself in a 3d application and it worked thanks to chrrox. But one thing I certainly was unable to do was to apply the bones to get the rigged models - the main thing I needed to port the models to my other popular games.
Like many of you, I decided to ask the author to honor my request and if it's possible for him, do me another great favour and update his script so that it can rip the bones too. I did and repeated my requests more and more but as you might guess, the result was NULL. He simply told that is no more interested in this game and refused to add only ten lines of code(believe me, only ten lines. I know it now for sure) to his script inorder to answer my and so many others requests!!!!
After this happened I could not stop asking myself WHY?? Why shouldn't I be able to get what I want AND mainly why should I ask it from the others who simply don't (and won't) give a SHIT (to be polite, please read it RESPECT) to the other's requests???
This simple conclusion, FORCED me to move, study hard and start learning this interesting filed. So I recommend you all my dear friends to respect your dreams and FORCE them happen ONLY BY YOUR POWERFUL HANDS NOT THE OTHERS who don't even know you and do NOT care about your important requests.
At the end of this boring story, have a few words with dear game file crackers who might care :
PLEASE before you decide to work on extracting a given game file, first decide to do it to the END and FINISH your project NOT just leave it after extracting vertices and faces. BONES my friends are the main things that give life to the characters and resources you gratefully put your pricious time and extract to make the others happy.
So, please listen to the advice of your little ultra noob friend and extract the models with bones and full textures OR simply LEAVE IT OUT TO THE OTHERS THAT CARE AND CAN FINISH IT, without engaging yourself and wasting your pricious time pointless and useless.
Please forgive me for wasting your time but this was the story behind this tool that MUST be told and heared. Remember that my goal is not to blame, judge or bother the others(specially dear chrrox). Also forgive my awfull spelling. you know, I actually am not a native english speaker.
Let's get back to the tool I'm going to award to you my dear friends.
Program Usage
Open autorun.bet file included with the tool and replace the game installation path on your PC with "C:\Program Files\Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City" string in the file and save it. Your hardest job after doing this is to DOUBLE CLICK ON AUTORUN.BAT FILE.
Instead of using autorun.bat file, you can also create an empty batch(.bat) file yourself and add this script to it :
FOR %%a in (*.edgemodel) DO REORC_Model_Extractor.exe %%a "Game Installation Path"
You also can type the following script in commandline :
REORC_Model_Extractor <infile.edgemodel> <"REORC installation path on your PC">
for example : REORC_Model_Extractor adawong.edgemodel "C:\Program Files\REORC"
Please remember that using double quotations " " is necessary for game installation path Unless the white spaces in the path will be ignored and you'll get a model without bones and textures.
BUT if the game installation path on your PC does not contain any white spaces, this time you can simply add it to the above script without double quotations.
for example : REORC_Model_Extractor adawong.edgemodel C:\REORC
Important Notice
I used visual c++ 2005 on 32-bit win 7 to compile and build this tool. As a result, older OS like win xp and other 64-bit system may not be able to run this tool. So, if that happened please do not blame me. Instead try to run this tool on a 32-bit win 7 PC.
Credits
As I already mentioned, this tool is mainly based on the awsome bms script done by dear chrrox. I just updated his script by adding bones and texture support with some help from dear Codeman.
So, all the credits goes to these two dear guys.
Final Words
As one of my main rules for releasing a tool to public, this tool is throughly tested to work best and as flawlessly as possible. However, like other softwares it also is not guaranteed to work perfectly and may have some bugs I've never encountered before.
I'm asknig you to please do me this great favour and report any bugs you discovered and let me correct them in future updates(rarely possible considering my current timing constraints).

Thank you so much for your attention and I hope you enjoy using my gift.
With best wishes...
