Cryengine-Converter VS NewWorldUnpacker

Here's a tool for extracting assets from Star Citizen. https://github.com/Markemp/Cryengine-Converter

Eventually I found unp4k (Github). This allows you to extract the big 'data.p4k' file. Then you have access to all the model files, though they're in .cgf and .cga formats (cryengine). Just opening these in cryengine wouldn't work. After some research I stumbled upon Cry Engine Converter (Github). This allows you to convert those files into usable files. This was huge for me.

Use unp4k Tools and than Cryengine-Converter.

Cryengine Converter: https://github.com/Markemp/Cryengine-Converter/releases/latest

Models are Cryengine .cgf and .skin files. You can use Markemp/Cryengine-Converter to convert them to Collada (.dae) files, and potentially KhronosGroup/COLLADA2GLTF to convert the Collada files to glTF files afterwards.

A quick Google search turns up this project: https://github.com/Markemp/Cryengine-Converter

Hi everyone. Just want to put out some observations of some work I've done recently getting CIG's new #ivo file format able to be processed with my Cryengine Converter program, and how that should help with load times and performance.

To convert the object 3d assets from .cgf to something like .dae or .obj, you can use CryEngine Converter. For textures, I use the Star Citizen texture converter to convert the split .dds textures to .tif.

There are unpackers available like https://github.com/new-world-tools/new-world-tools or https://github.com/MontagueM/NewWorldUnpacker) that are able to extract the datasheets containing the loot tables.

First of all, you need to unpack game I would recommend you to start research from there https://github.com/MontagueM/NewWorldUnpacker

They're not encrypted, just zipped. You can unzip them with this.

The PAK files are huge zip files using Oodle compression Here are two extractors that can handle that: (ts) NSBL/pak-extract and (py) MontagueM/NewWorldUnpacker
