Tool for Jurassic World Evolution.

Since there's not much demand for this obscure engine, first version only supports dinosaurs. But technically it must be possible to get anything from any game on this engine, because i already reversed the base of its data formats. I think even this tool MAY work with other games.

Tool usage:

drop .OVL file onto the tool.
ovs.textures_... files must be in the same dir if you want textures exported too.
Exported files will be in new ASCII format that supports bone rotations (as you may know).
Also OBJ file and SMD skeleton will be created.

JurassicWE.rar

I'm sorry I missed this.

Is there any chance you'd resume your work on both OVL and AUX files? I tried to run your utility on the 1kb ovl files but it returns empty.

unfortunately no, chances are very low

Please? Or at least share what you know about the formats?

Do I extract the file and use the item called "JurassicWE"? or do I drop the OVL file onto the .rar? I've tried dragging the OVL file onto the item named JurassicWE, and it creates a file named the same as the OVL file, but nothing is in this newly created folder.

What do you mean? New tools for .OVL or the DLC? If so where can they be found ?

Thanks but I already seen this spend over an hour trying to figure it out. No luck. Me along with many others dont know how to use this. I installed everything still cant get it to launch.


Could you maybe explain the steps in getting the GUI screen to launch so I can see this.

I'm not familiar with that window, are you sure you're using the right programme?

Yeah I used both VS Code and Visual Studio 2018 both show same error. Can you just open the file for me ?

I don't have them installed on THIS pc, you fricking idiot. They are on the main one.

Well now I have them installed all right. Ask me nicely to open those files and perhaps I'll entertain you.

Can you please open this file. And I really do appreciate it. I'm just frustrated because I wasted hours for nothing today.
