Umodel command line to export all icons from Fortnite

[Gildor]

Code:

umodel.exe -path=... -export */UI/Foundation/Textures/Icons/*

Compare with your command to understand the difference. If this won't work - you're using too old umodel (I've changed something for batch processing recently). You're definitely using something old, because "-all" option has been removed.

When using umodel.exe UI the icon portraits background look weird... do you know why? Any setting I must change?

I've changed thread's name - replaced "bash script" to "command line", because there's nothing bash-specific here. Also I've updated command line help a little bit, removed "-all" option reference.

For future people interested in how this works, I'll write how I got it working...

• 1. Download and extract the Umodel into a folder on your desktop
• 2. Create a file called fortnite.bat
• 3. Edit fortnite.bat with a text editor

Code:

umodel.exe -path="C:/Program Files/Epic Games/Fortnite" -out=\ExportOutput -export */UI/Foundation/Textures/Icons/*

• 4. Now open the Command Prompt (CMD on Windows), and navigate to the fortnite.bat (using "cd C:/path/to/fortnite.bat")
• 5. In the Command Prompt, now run "fortnite.bat"

You will be prompted for an AES key:
0x9D8C9A4A4FA082F213EED604B6E756237181685EEDA82216437617D7AA5231AF
This key is changed every new update. How to find the new one? Google

Game Version as of date:
Unreal Engine 4.19


This will save all the Images from the Fortnite game into the ExportOutput folder in the UModel folder on your desktop.

These files are now in a .TGA format, and they include an alpha channel. To convert these TGA files into transparent PNG files I used ImageMagick with PHP.

If you're using a linux DEB server with PHP7, you may install ImageMagick easily by running this command on your server:

Code:

sudo apt-get install php-imagick

Code:

<?php
// create new imagick object from image.jpg
$im = new Imagick( "T-Constructor-HID-Constructor-009-SR-T01-L.tga" );

// change format to png
$im->setImageFormat( "png" );

// output the image to the browser as a png
header( "Content-Type: image/png" );
echo $im;

Voila~ Now you got a transparent background PNG image from the TGA files exported from the Fortnite Game engine!

I'm using FastStone Image Browser for image conversion - when I need to upload tga to web (tga doesn't work in browsers). There's no needs to use any command line, external tools, and php scripting.

Code:

umodel -path=... -game=... -export *.uasset

This will export content from ALL pak files. If you want a particular pak file, you should isolate it in some directory, i.e. copy it somewhere without having other paks in the same directory.

Is there a way to provide a aes key?
