Im after the flying animations it as for a fun little privet project of mine
When i try to extract any of the animations i get this, so im posting here to see if im just being stupid and i didnt do this correctly or weather umodel isnt working with this particular game

After this i endup with the skeleton exported but nothing else

All im looking to do is get the flying animations into blender to i can re-target them to my character model i have

Any help would be much appreciated

All im trying to achieve is get the animations into blender so i can re-target them to the character model i have

Thanks

edit sorry Gildor Ill edit the first post better

Need uassets of character models also, not psk/gltf.

Animations are working, however the full detail character is all mess up on both file formats, engine is 4.22 also.

I dont need the model working as im not going to use it ill be re targeting another model
So what was i doing wrong to get the animations working?

I can still send the character uasset if you still need it?

Uassets of the character model

They seem to work here, models work better in 3ds max with a few issues here and there, but Blender they get scrambled, however all the animations that you want are working besides the additives ones which uModel doesn't support currently anyways.

Cool are you able to send me the blend with all the anims in, the model as i say im not using so its issues dont matter to me, i just couldnt get the animations into blender

thankyou for your help :)

You better off finding the issue you have, do you have the befzz importer not the standard Blender one for psk files?

My issue is i cant export the animations to psk, when i try to export them i get the error shown in the first post thats why im posting here. Did you export them with no issue?
 im able to get the models to export fine but it errors out and dose not export the animations for me

Yes can export them easily not sure why you have error.

See thats where im stuck, iv looked at 9 tutorials for umodel so i know im doing correctly
but yer i get that error every time so im unable to move past this point. been at for 2 weeks so to hear you can do it with no issue is extremely frustrating. Yes i normally want to learn how to do things my self so i can easily do what i need and not rely on other people but there is a limit to where i just stop caring and iv defiantly reached that limit on this one

If you could send the blend or the extracted psk, i just want to move on at this point
unless someone cant tell me why im erroring out and how to fix it im kind of over it lol
i know everyone reach this point with computer based issue at some point :P

You should be able to load them also already, the files you sent already have the .psa included in the character model folder, which is where animations are stored in once extracted.

-_- so thats where i was going wrong i was expecting the animations to be separate files and there not
for the love of god i bet there's common knowledge as well

Thanks for being patient with me i have the anims in blender now
Thankyou :D

Yes if you load all animations in uModel it will extract them out in one single file, if you want only one animation per .psa you have to manually export each one out.

Not for do necropost, but the game data cannot be view with umodel anymore.
I even extract all the data of the .pak for see if it was protect but still it doesn't load a single model with the latest build of Umodel.

One model example of how it is encrypted now.

This game uses UE5.2 and is not even encrypted with a custom format or AES key, just use the v5 umodel from this topic:

https://www.gildor.org/smf/index.php/topic,7906.0.html

Thanks! that did the trick! I didn't know they had a separate build for U5.

Spiritovod is kind a genius and he has come up with a bunch of different versions of ueviewer for different UEx.x variants per game(s), I only wish someone would put all of them in a single repository to keep better track or all of them  :wink:

@GDL: Sorry for necro-reply, but actually it wouldn't be very convenient, as a lot of custom builds has certain specifics or limitations, which are explained in respective game topics. Which mean even if you have, for example, a shared google drive folder with all builds, it would be better to start with game topic, where a specific build is mentioned and linked, for possible details about build(s) usage. Also, some of them could be already outdated or merged into more general build(s) as separate override - and it's like this now, I still have around 10-15 games, which can be incorporated as overrides, but still shared as separate builds from when I only started doing things back in ~2021 in quick manner (and a few are still shared despite them already being merged as overrides).

I understand that current approach with 100500 various builds is not convenient for some people (and very inconvenient for some others), it's just choose between quick but ugly solutions for many things, or slow but polished solutions for a few things. And I choosed the first one, due to personal reasons among other things.
