[erickkingofarmy14]

love it or hate it Metal Slug 3D PS2 (2006). I just need to extract pak file so I knew there are 3d models of enemies and vehicles in the 2006 game but I couldn't extract it
I used BMS quickbms https://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/metal_slug_3d.bms it only works only DATA file and the folder in the iso metal slug 3d ps2 doesn't have it! help please !

Model files are inside "all.afs" so open that with AFS Explorer or a similar tool. You will see a lot of .pak files, playable characters are pl01.pak, pl02.pak, pl03.pak etc. so export some of those and then use that quickbms script to extract the content of each .pak, extracted files don't have names. You need to rename them to .dff, .TXD and .anm so open each file on Hex editor to check the format. This game was made with Renderware

Am I confused? Are you talking about another script or even one that I will use?

Use the script that you posted:  https://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/metal_slug_3d.bms on .pak files

which files are mesh?

[roocker666]

Sort files by size, usually files with bigger size are meshes or textures. Open those on Hex editor, meshes start with bytes 10 00 00 00 and textures with bytes 16 00 00 00 00, then edit the name of the file: if it is mesh rename to xxxx.dff, if it is texture file rename to xxxx.TXD

I don't know man, I guess you need to examine all files one by one..
