June 27, 20251 yr Hello, Spoiler For a very long time, I’ve been trying to extract the models from an MMORPG that I loved playing during my childhood. I’ve also been developing games as a hobby for many years, and this particular game has always been my main source of inspiration and motivation. I would be truly grateful if you could help me with this. To start, I extracted the objects.dat file using the following QuickBMS script: idstring "SKYF" get VER short set PATH string "" callfunction EXTRACT 1 startfunction EXTRACT getdstring NAME 0x40 get FOLDERS short get FILES short string PATH + NAME string PATH + / for i = 0 < FOLDERS callfunction EXTRACT next i for i = 0 < FILES getdstring NAME 0x80 get OFFSET long get SIZE long string NAME p "%s%s" PATH NAME log NAME OFFSET SIZE next i endfunction After that, I encountered a large number of files with the .ADF extension. These seem to be compressed and possibly encrypted 3D model files. I was able to extract most of them using another QuickBMS script: idstring "root" get chunkCnt long get entrySize long goto 0xC 0 SEEK_CUR savepos Offset set recSize long chunkCnt math recSize * entrySize math recSize + Offset get Name basename string Name + ".dec" log Name 0 recSize log MEMORY_FILE Offset recSize set totalSize long 0 goto 0 MEMORY_FILE for i = 0 < chunkCnt goto 12 MEMORY_FILE SEEK_CUR get Size long MEMORY_FILE goto 16 MEMORY_FILE SEEK_CUR math totalSize + Size next i putvarchr MEMORY_FILE totalSize 0 log MEMORY_FILE 0 0 append for i = 0 < chunkCnt getdstring chunkName 4 get hash long get ZSize long get Size long get isCompressed long get Offset long get UnzippedOffset longlong clog MEMORY_FILE Offset ZSize Size next i log Name 0 totalSize MEMORY_FILE I believe I can now use a program like 3D Model Researcher to convert them into a more common format such as .OBJ, but unfortunately, I don’t have the technical knowledge to do that properly. Despite my efforts, I haven’t been successful. I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide. Spoiler It would mean a lot to me to be able to 3D print these models and keep them as mementos. I’d also love to create scenes using them in modern game engines like Unity, just for fun. This has huge sentimental value for me.

June 27, 20251 yr Can you please update your topic title to include the game name / platform. Thanks.

In fact, the .ADF decompressor script was created directly by Luigi. And for those who decide to deal with this in the future, here is the quickBMS script for exporting the textures_X.DAT files: idstring "SKYF" goto 0x48 get files short for i = 0 < files getdstring NAME 0x80 get offset long get size long log name offset size next i Edited June 28, 20251 yr by Friction Texture script added.
June 28, 20251 yr Hey! I worked with this format I have a blender addon to import models into blender
June 28, 20251 yr Addon curtesy of REDxEYE __init__.py to be used with https://github.com/REDxEYE/UniLoader and with it there is my audio .raw file converter all the extracted resources can be found here ill link my extractor aswell if i can find it https://drive.google.com/file/d/10uo-DmmpNkiYlogR9eWmIyy74_AfaM05/view Program.zip

June 29, 20251 yr Supporter Hi, and thanks! Install from zip: 'No module named UniLoader'. Blender v3.5, btw. Edited June 29, 20251 yr by shak-otay

UniLoader.zip it was just a matter of unzipping the file renaming the folder within to "UniLoader" and zipping it. Now to install the addon you must compress that .py file in order to be installed Edited June 30, 20251 yr by AexaDev mistake

June 30, 20251 yr Author @AexaDev you are a hero. I don't even know how I can thank you. This is one of the best things that's ever happened to me. Thank you so much. Btw, just out of curiosity, are you an IKV player?

Never played the game, there was one guy on a discord server that asked for help for this specific game and i decided to help him out Id like to once again credit REDxEYE for his blender addon Edited June 30, 20251 yr by AexaDev

Thank you so much. I will try to make a version that can also get the UV map. If I succeed, I will definitely share it here.

I think my quickBMS script is not working properly, because when I tried it with the file you uploaded, everything worked fine.

Then you need to install the .py file as UniLoader plugin.

Quote Then you need to install the .py file as UniLoader plugin. How do I install as UniLoader plugin? That's the problem. Install from GitHub? (Best way, probably.) But it should be possible to install the ADF py from disk, shouldn't it? But anyways, dont' bother. I've wasted too much time with this already. I have a working workaround for me.

Hi I need to find my extractor I have written it a while ago, meanwhile you can just use the resources in the google drive link I gave earlier

That is what counts. on this, you cannot use this script with the latest release of uniloader from github, the API has changed since the IKV script has been written, only version works with it is 0.1.0, which is the one i have provided here and the one OP has shown in his screenshot In addition both the loader and the script have been designed for Blender 4.0+ so there might be issues if you use older versions Edited June 30, 20251 yr by AexaDev
