Hey ^_^

got Dishonored (US version) today and tested the files in umodel through the GUI.
It loads textures perfectly fine but that's it =/ Meshes don't load and nothing exports.

Here are a few files from the game (some upks, and the cracked .exe file)
http://sdrv.ms/QbluVq (http://sdrv.ms/QbluVq)

Would be nice if you could take a look into it =)
The game seems to be epic from what i saw till now.

I downloaded the US version and decided to test it through the command line instead of the GUI. I found that listing files in the upk packages works properly. As for extracting: extracting textures works without errors. Exporting static and skeletal meshes results in an error. Animation sets export despite warnings when unpacking, can't verify if they're working without the skelmeshes. Flash files seem to export as well.

Pkgtool report:

Could somebody post core.u and engine.u files?

Okay, I've added Dishonored support.
Animation is not working.

OMG yes! :D
Thanks so much! :-*

It looks like Dishonored's deelopers were used Sony's PS3 edgeanim library to compress animations in this game.

Update:
Just thought ... If that's really ps3 library then there's a big probability that animations from Xbox360 version of this game would work.

After some research I can confirm: Dishonored uses "edgeanim" library developed by Sony for their PS3 console. This library is used on all platforms - PS3, PC and even XBox360. That sounds a bit crazy (Sony's library on XBox360) but that's fact. So, animations are not supported for this game, and looks like never will be supported.

The majority of the game's files seem to be .pck, are these meshes or the animations you're talking about? I'm rather unfamiliar with the way umodel and the Unreal Engine does things so some enlightenment would be nice. I'd really love to grab some of the models from this game but frankly I have no idea where to look.

.pck file which I have contains sounds. That's not Unrealy engine feature, it was developed specially for this game.

Well, it's wwise audio, like arkham city and mass effect 2/3 use.

But yeah, it's not standard unreal audio engine.

most of the models i saw for gameplay were in startup.upk or something.

I can't seem to be able to make it work. I'm trying to find the mask the protagonist (Corvo) weares.

Yet I did find some .pck files wich seems like the right files.

Bank_Weapon.pck or Bank_Weapon_Sword_Corvo.pck??


I have no idea. Could anyone of you help me out?

The pck files are for sounds, the mask i believe is in startup.upk unless you're looking for mask sounds?
Yeah, those are both soundbanks. the mask is probably somewhere in the L (level) upk ones for the times where you take it off/put it on.

Here's one location: L_Pub_FromBridge_Script.upk named corvomask_world, it crashes on part of it if you dont disable anims and textures though. there's also textures for the high poly lens view when it's being adjusted somewhere, but the whole high poly mask is never used in game as far as i can see, it's not included either. when you take it off/put it on, it's the world view.

Have problem with loading .psk file into 3ds Max. Models appear to be very low-poly (but in umodel viewer it's like in game)
(about mask :)

the mask is decently low-ish poly, try setting up the normal map maybe? a surefire way to tell is to see if the poly count is the same. again, the mask used in game is like 4k tris, but looks low poly without normal map.

Could you upload it possibly with textures? Still don't seem to find it.
And if you would have the gun mesh with textures could you possibly send it with it?

I can't do that, I've gotten in trouble for similar things at xentax, try this: open cmd.exe, drag in umodel (or type it's path) then hit spacebar, type -export, hit spacebar type -obj=CorvoMask_world (exactly like that) hit spacebar, then type -all, spacebar, finally drag in L_Pub_FromBridge_Script.upk or L_Pub_FromPrison_Script.upk and hit enter. the direct path (aka the part before the > in cmd.exe dialog) will now hold psk's and tga's in a folder named after the upk. I definately saw the pistol (among other things) in startup.upk though some L_something level upk's have more meshes and upgrades for it.

I've separated discussion of Dishonored's .pck files (audio) to this thread:

Hallo.
I'm trying to export the animations for the main character but i have no idea where they are located.
There's just one animset but it contains just one animation.
I'm using actor x import

While messing around with exporting animations (before having seen Gildor's post about them not being supported) I noticed that one animation did export, Npc_TallBoy_Empty_as/Empty_CarryCorpse_Idle_Slave. Does that mean there's hope for animation support after all? If this one animation works surely the other ones must somehow work as well! I've attached the exported animation for reference.

Sorry for the doublepost, it wouldn't let me attach both files to one post. Here is what I think should be the original compressed file of the exported animation, ripped with UE Viewer.

@crow: It's probably an unused asset in native UE format, accidentally included in the package, which happens in many games. The problem is that the game is using native UE skeleton, but edge animations, otherwise some third-party tools could potentially work with raw data - but, for example, native edgeanim decompiler from ps vita sdk requires both edgeanim and edgeskel in native edge binary formats, that's why tool for Horizon is tied to those formats. Though I guess theoretically it's possible to implement decoding edgeanim data in context of UE, since decompiler from sdk has sources with fully explained structure of that format (aside from implementation).
