Yes. But it will be suitable ONLY if it will crash umodel, when started with correct settings.

Yes, sure. This is exactly the same problem with animation data.

unpacking the pak files will give you uassets and umaps, which would be useless, uModel extracts meshes into PSK (Statics) and PSKX (Skeletons), PSA (Animations) and TGA for textures etc, then you need to convert them to FBX inside Blender of other 3d modeling packages to put into a game engine like UE4.

and yeah Gildor me tried to help much has I can (having some personal stuff to needing to get through atm), not sure why uModel works fine for you with the project package I provided, but crashes for me when I try to load a pacific animation etc Sad

, think it's user error on my side lol....

Thanks for the information, I really appriciate it! When I try to export some assets, some of them don't even appear in the folder. What is that supposed to mean? Are there some files, that can't be exported? Is there any way I can look at the code of some files?

Fortnite has 112k uasset files. Do you really think they are all meshes, animations and textures?

No problem. May be you've uploaded wrong files, I don't know. Yesterday I've got a sample pack from another guy, and it seems that it has exactly what's needed for research. (However I don't have enough free time - I've fixed a few UE4.19 bugs today, which aren't related to animation).

hello!

I have a question ( a stupid one maybe), but is it possible to export files from Uasset files which arent just Materials, meshes or textures? Is it possible to get any code/blueprints for use in the Unreal Engine?

I read up a few places where it said you could place Uassets directly into the Content folder of your current UE4 project, and although I tried that, nothing showed up. Im using UE version 4.19, and im not too sure what version the engine needs to be in order to detect the Uasset files from the current version of fortnite. I dont know how to check the compatible version of Uasset files.

could anyone offer any suggestions on how to get these uasset files into my Unreal Engine project, or export the files(excluding Mats, textures and meshes) , for use in the engine?

thanks in advance Grin

Unreal editor can't open cooked uasset files, it ignores them. There's some code in UE4 which allows to load some cooked assets (I've got textures working) - this code has been made for UT4 modding possibilities, and it is disabled in C++ by default.

oh okay,

i did some reading ( coz i didnt know what cooking was)

so its essentially changing the file formats used in the engine to file formats used by the platform that the project will be distributed on??

and reversing the process of cooking is a difficult task in itself I presume?

also, I tried viewing a Uasset file in a program called Noesis, which claims to support Uasset files, although on viewing any Uasset file, the program becomes unresponsive and starts eating RAM like no other. Is this because the file is cooked?

Cooking, in addition to conversion to platform format, strips out editor-only parts of assets to make data smaller. And yes, it is very hard thing to recover stipped data.
Regarding Noesis, this is a mesh viewer too, so don't expect viewing anything else there.

Does this same problem apply to .UMAP files as well?

I wouldn't consider this as a problem, because .umap file is a map file, not a mesh itself so umodel wont open them
