Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows .pcpack files

[giftheck]

A long time ago on XenTax, people asked about Web of Shadows .pcpack files, but the methods that worked previously on Spider-Man 3's .pcpack files don't quite work here - the results were, IIRC, that models came out completely squashed.

I made plugins for this, write me a PM if you are interested

Anybody has a unpack script for this game?

How to extract game files please like you did?

[Lokester]

Says he has plugins, doesnt explain xD

For ACT1_VENOM_FIGHT.PCPACK the script gives this:

Quote

- signature of 4 bytes at offset 0x00000000 doesn't match the one
  expected by the script:

  this one: "NCH"
  4e 43 48 00                                       NCH.

  expected: "res
"
  72 65 73 0a                                       res.

- 0 files found in 0 seconds

I found someone that helped me unpack the PCPACK file archive format, also we managed to unpack another file container called PCAPK inside PCPACK archive.

There's a lot of files inside like TEX, MESH, SKEL, ANIM

Hopefully anybody can help with reversing the 3D Model Format in this container (MESH)

I suppose you're an expert on 3D Model Reversing. Hopefully you can help me with any piece of info you're willing to give.

 

I downloaded Hex2Obj and read the tutorial but still didn't manage to do much...

I wish I were. As you can see from my previous post I'm not.

Can I send you some sample MESH files here 

[shak-otay]

The current sample has to be solved first.

What do you mean exactly ? Which sample are you dealing with currently?

Anyways, Here's some more sample files (MESH) contained in PCAPK

Sample MESH files.zip

They are originally extracted separated into two components (Component 0 and Component 1) from the PCAPK container

Okay, but why deal with the whole big container of files while there's simple specific MESH files that contains the models

MESH files have the models

I used the unpacker which swiftlie uploaded. I usually need to understand what I'm doing.

With your decision to keep unpackers secret I've lost interest, sorry.

Didn't know you wanted them... I don't mind sharing them with you

IDK why I've never been notified of replies to my own thread, else I would have tried to contribute a bit more, but I see there's been some other developments. As I did get the Noesis script Durik posted about above, I'm able to extract just fine now. NGL, I've moved beyond that for my own purposes - I'm at the stage where I'm looking at figuring out how to go in reverse - IE importing into the game. This is a game I've long since wanted to try and mod through means other than the texmod method.

Durik's Noesis script method is slightly different to what's been described above - his script decompiles the PCPACK files into several .36 files, which are then decompiled into the individually-named MESH, SKEL and DDS files (no ANIM files extracted even though the plugin appears to pick them up). IDK if these .36 files are ACTUALLY the PCAPK files mentioned above with a different name.

I'm assuming that the loss of interest above has persisted, however.

Join <removed by moderator>. I'm there and a lot of other people working on the game still and trying to figure things out.

Hello. I’ve been looking at this thread for sometime. I would really be interested in the tools for this game. Whether that be for modding, or potentially trying to remaster the game (for fun). If anyone has anymore information please lmk (been keeping up with this for like a year 😂). I have a WOS modding discord. I’m not sure if this site allows links. WOS Modding discord: https://discord.gg/xv56XBQQh

My discord: lokester06 or Loke
 

i appreciate y’all’s work. 

Mostly want models to mod other games (rivals), but this games art direction is one of my favorite versions of spiderman.
