  • Pathologic 2 modding?
    3 projects | /r/pathologic | 10 Apr 2022
    Sooo, P2 modding is not very well documented so far - what I know is that it's easy to replace things like textures and sounds using AssetStudio and UABE together. The dialogue and many of the gameplay files are in plaintext or XML, and can be edited freely (once you know what they do). Furthermore, you can use DNSpy to edit the .net files included with the game (this is how the published mod Bound Again added effects to items, IIRC).
  • Does anyone know where the files for all of the models are for Pathologic 2?
    1 project | /r/pathologic | 27 Jan 2022
    AssetStudio has a fairly simple interface and will export models as .obj - you can choose single models to export via searching, or do all of them (which will fill about 619 MB of space). If you don't intend to mod the game, it's probably the easiest solution. As DJ said, you'd hit "Load folder" on Pathologic\Pathologic_Data.
  • Can't export to FBX?
    1 project | /r/unity | 3 Sep 2021
  • Extracted sound files?
    2 projects | /r/mytimeatportia | 26 Apr 2021
    So, first you'll need something like AssetStudioGUI (recommended, since it's being regularly updated) or UnityStudio.
