Duke Nukem Forever DLC ".dat"

Post by Doctor Loboto »

So Noesis can extract the normal files from Duke Nukem Forever. It however cannot extract anything from the DLC's...

However...people have been somehow managing to extract models from the DLC, as evidenced by various XNALara, Garry's Mod, and SFM releases of things exclusive to DLC.

This is driving me nuts, how is this possible and why can't I find any information on how to do it?

Can anyone help me do this? Here are the DLC files I'm most interested in.

I guess the format of these DAT files is very simple, but no idea about the content of the files:

Code: Select all

get FILES byte
for i = 0 < FILES
    getdstring NAME 0x80
    get OFFSET long
    get SIZE long
    log NAME OFFSET SIZE
next i
