Ninja Gaiden 4

[natsuki]

Hello, guys. Ninja Gaiden 4 has been released. Anyone interested in extracting models for this game? I heard this game used the same engine as Bayonetta 3. The problem is that the format of the compressed file is a new format, not pkz. The file I attached is part of the files in the 'asset' folder. If you're interested, I'd appreciate it if you could analyze the extraction method of this game.

Please carefully review your file—it's extremely small. There isn't even detailed data. Why don't you thoroughly check it once more before uploading?

sorry, There's no way to upload it because the capacity of the fragmented files is really big. This site has a limit on the file capacity that can be uploaded as a sample. This was the only sample I could post. I know there are people other than me who have already purchased this game or got the file. This is just an example to write this topic.

To add more info, the game uses @image.dat files paired with @image.csv files, those .csv reference a ton of asset.bins presumably inside. Maybe the file types inside those are more common Platinum fare for the engine, but for now the top level containers are unique to NG4. The smallest .dat is 300mb hence difficulty with sample.

I have uploaded a sample, hoping it will be helpful

Managed to get MDL, but I haven't found a way to import them

Extracted.rar

Also a mot file

The other MDL is very small, not sure if it's a model. so I found another one with at least 1MB

did you just upload some of the files in the game folder? we need to decompress @image.dat files first. most of the models are in these files. could you tell us how you extracted these files?

python ExtractImage.py  @image0 @image0.txt -o "Export/Location" --subchunks

I converted the CSV into a txt file.

After that I used 

python extract_asset_bin_parts.py --bin asset.bin --parts asset.bin.parts.txt -o out_dir --try-decompress

ExtractImage.py extract_asset_bin_parts.py

ExtractImage.py 3.72 kB · 0 downloads extract_asset_bin_parts.py 5.5 kB · 1 download

I'm not sure, but this doesn't seem to be the solution. As you said, the mdl file is too small. The mdl format used in the sfm is also larger than these.

I keep getting the error 

DAT file not found: @image0

I placed both py  scripts in the assets folder, maybe its the type of txt file it needs to be converted to?

Great! Thank you for sharing! I wonder when the animation file support will be available.

Just learned that the new version has added animation support, thanks again for the guidance.
