  • Looks like RF3s modding is just like RF5
    3 projects | /r/runefactory | 15 Sep 2023
    Asset Studio for browsing and previewing files, Avalonia for replacing/editing bundles. Of course, I've never actually modded RF5; all I've managed to get working so far for RF3s is portrait and model texture editing, and face textures are so tightly cropped that replacing them might be a pain. As for dialogue, the extracted .txt comes out garbled, and I tried it with Grimoire just for fun but that doesn't seem to do anything.
  • Trying to find sprites from the games files, but I cant find them.

    the sprites won't appear as actual images unless you are using something to load the sprites like AssetStudio or a similar program. unfortunately i can't remember the name of the program that allows you to take a screenshot and rip assets from there, or something similar. but AssetStudio will do the trick and you have to load the folder called "hollow_knight_Data" from - C:\(yournamehere)\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data - some of the information here will vary based on what you've named your drives but the main folder is in steamapps\common\HollowKnight\hollow_knight_Data

    I've tried exploring a few things with this but the only sound file I was able to find was the one that plays on the startup screen. I think I might have another lead with the files that steam displays but I'm doing my best and if worse comes to worst I will just try to get recordings of everything :]

  • What’s Left to Preserve for Priconne EN & Github Priconne Image Extractor
    1 project | /r/gachagaming | 1 May 2023
    Hi, I'm the person who made priconne-image-extractor. If you're looking to decrypt .unity3d files from the EN server, you can use that to get all the .unity3d files from EN's CDN, and then use AssetStudio (https://github.com/Perfare/AssetStudio) to load the folder with all the .unity3d files. This won't work anymore for JP's server since they updated Unity a while ago, but in theory this should work for EN still.
  • Does Anyone have the SFX file of Video Game Club Skill?

    You can dig the audio files yourself from the game data with Asset Studio. I can get it for you, but it'll have to wait until I get home. I advice you try to dig yourself. Might find many cool things in there.
