MichaelBFS Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I found the files from the new simulator. It's Le Mans Ultimate. The structure is very similar to rFactor2. But they are slightly different. All the cars and tracks in the container are in .MAS format. I could not open them. Most likely they are also encrypted like the new add-on files for rFactor2. I unloaded all the cars and a couple of tracks. Probably the most valuable thing here is the detailed tracks. If someone can extract and convert to 3dsmax that would be great. https://modsfire.com/zw63HxVSBl30h3H https://modsfire.com/F9aU44I46FJ6lwG https://modsfire.com/HM8EN9UKa8GEfyX https://modsfire.com/741sV4i5IJGK6y8 https://modsfire.com/Hah0WWwnkS88Te7 https://modsfire.com/AhrtlefFBdA2e8u https://modsfire.com/E9hb1VH0C4N0NS9 https://modsfire.com/Joo1ZK9GCldH49M https://modsfire.com/oo52r7fBhNEHCBI https://modsfire.com/j06b43N0qr6AU3j https://modsfire.com/4FHnL5Grt9QK3RG https://modsfire.com/LGx39Kmr2q49Qri https://modsfire.com/49PKQKsC2i697Ba https://modsfire.com/5M57Dcz4g78XBMT https://modsfire.com/74222wvKVubnJoE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelBFS Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 have you tried this method? did you manage to unpack these files? maybe there is a ready exe file for unpacking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engineer h3x3r Posted March 1 Engineer Share Posted March 1 (edited) I did on "Monza_2023\0.906\assetsMAPs.mas" but it doesn't unpack. It says: Failed to open MAS archive. Is it a rFactor 2 archive? Release.7z Edited March 1 by h3x3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelBFS Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 (edited) I got the same error. This method does not unpack the files .MAS. I was only able to unpack a few textures from the cars folder - the "upgrade" folder. The main car and track files this unpacker cannot unpack... they are encrypted by another method....

MichaelBFS Posted June 8 Author Share Posted June 8 Yes, it seems there were liveries for the cars. I think they used the same encryption method as rfactor2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm new to modding stuff from RF2. I'd like to get my hands on the LMU liveries but I don't know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engineer Durik256 Posted June 10 Engineer Share Posted June 10 (edited) I didn’t delve into the topic, but if you just need to replace the magic check in the code, then I made the replacement in line 73 in the MAS2Reader.cs file: if (fileTypeString == "GMOTOR_MAS_2.90") to if (fileTypeString.EndsWith("_MAS_2.90")) so it will be universal. I also build this in VS: MAS2Extract.7z Edited June 10 by Durik256 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whateverfloatsyourgoat Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 (edited) The MAS2Extract exe doesn't work at all, the command prompt does nothing - I put everything in documents/MAS2Extract, also tried to put all that stuff directly in one car directory (Caddy VSeries), nothing. I know how to use QuickBMS though, but no script for LMU so yeah, I'm lost. Edited June 10 by whateverfloatsyourgoat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engineer shak-otay Posted June 10 Engineer Share Posted June 10 While the extractor works for Aston_Martin_vantage_amr car-upgrade.mas car.mas seems to have another encoding: changed MAS encoding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAS2Extract opens then quits immediately; even when opened as admin. When I do try to open the upgrade mas file with open -> select a program -> MAS2E I get this result : I don't know what to do anymore lol So maybe if someone managed to do the impossible on my end, could you please upload and share all the LMH / LMDh skins ?

The problem still remains that car.mas files have car-upgrade.mas different formatting, so MAS2Extract with the LMU100_MAS_2.90 tweak is not compatible with them. For those, you would need too recompile MAS2Extract with a different encoding as change pointed out by shak-otay.
