There has to be a way to decompress the .upak archives

[aluigi]

Upload the file pc.mnfst

[Sankar]

Here is the the mnfst file.

https://mega.nz/#!wQMlDb7S!t41qNxCd0ZWE ... Ts0sYkeQKo

please extract the models and animations and vfx files from it.

[aluigi]

Why is it called manifest.bin?

[Sankar]

I don't know that.This is the mnfst file i have found in Darksiders 2

[aluigi]

Ok do the following, make a copy of manifest.bin and call it pc.mnfst.
Then use the attached modified version of the tool which is just what is written on viewtopic.php?p=9779#p9779 (if it works I will post the patch for main.cpp).

It "may" work, let us know the result.

*edit* the exe is available in my next post.

[Sankar]

could you please post a video on how to do it because it will be much easier then as i had tried DS2Extract and it was unable to extract the
.upak archives.Please create a tutorial video for DS2Extract.

[Sankar]

Hello aluigi i tried to extract the .upak archive with DS2Extract but it said that VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing.I download the dll file and placed it
but then it said that The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b) click ok to close the application

[aluigi]

Ok try it now.

[Sankar]

Hello aluigi i tried it but it just opened and closed in 1second and didn't extract anything

[aluigi]

It's a command-line tool.
If you don't know how to use the command-line then search on google.

The following is the runtime help, just in case:

Code: Select all

Darksiders 2 extraction tool.
Syntax: DS2Extract.exe <source dir> [/o:outputdir] [/v] [/nz]
/v = Verbose output
/nz = Don't convert .zgfx to .gfx files

I suggest you to create a .bat file like:

Code: Select all

DS2Extract.exe "c:\program files ... GAME_PATH ...\media" /o:c:\output_folder

[Sankar]

Hello aluigi i created the bat file as you said but it is also unable to extract the .upak archives.Please help me

[aluigi]

Doesn't matter because now I'm sure that ds2extract will not work because there are NO references to anim_streams, it contains only references to media.upak and few others.

The solutions is simple: use offzip
offzip.exe -a anim_streams.upak

Sankar: don't ask how to use offzip. This topic will be locked.
