I managed to access the contents of pkg files
core file can be uncompressed using quickbms
http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm
Now we need to convert the models and textures.
Some models have already been extracted, so the tool can already exist, but I did not find it

Killzone Shadow fall tool

Usage:
- unpack .core files with BMS script
- drop .UNP file onto the tool
- to convert textures, put UNP files in some folder, create "streams" subfolder there, and put .corestreams into that "streams" subfolder.

Important note: packages sometimes have LINKS to some assets used from common packages
i extracted a few most used of them, just put this stuff next to the tool
notify me if something else is missing, tool will give messages

There are some unsupported texture types (RGBA, 1-channel grey etc...)



Tool will also extract static meshes and level geometry:

Yes, we talked about it on xentax.
I just did not know about it at that time. Therefore, he created topics in both forums - was looking for information.
Thank you.

id-daemon thank you!
python script for batch process converting packed core files.
You need edit next strings for your paths:

Code:

path_Directory = 'L:\\ps4\\au\\' #raw_input("Path to the directory? (finish on the \"\\\") ")
quick_bms_str = '\"E:\\quickbms\\quickbms_4gb_files.exe\" -o '   #-K -d  '
bms_script = '\"L:\\ps4\\killzone_83c110cb.bms\"  '
tool_str = '\"L:\\ps4\\Killzone_core.exe"   '
corestreams_folder = "L:\\killzone\\Image0\\localcachepink\\streams"

The problem with finding the external skeleton

Code:

L:\ps4\kzc\isa_echo_isa_echo_character>L:\ps4\kzc\isa_echo_isa_echo_character\Killzone_core.exe L:\ps4\kzc\isa_echo_isa_echo_character\echo_character_unpack.core

I tried to put this file next to the tool and in the lumps directory, but it did not help.

Sometimes with UAC on windows somehow substitutes current folder to user folder. Try changing system settings or put skeleton in your user folder

Thank you, but it's doesn't work for me.
I force the current directory to be installed as a working directory (os.chdir (root) in my script.). In addition, I tried to put these files in the user directory (just and in the folder "lumps")

One more thing - if you have time, you could not have looked at this archive (Fatal error: unknown serialized resource.).

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0dm1p1emqz208 ... .core?dl=0

Not critical, but something interesting, judging by the internal names, there may be.

Everybody else reported that tool works fine. It must be some windows problem.
