Read this also http://www.gildor.org/smf/index.php/topic,660.0.html

And UE Viewer is a cmd tool, so you need to use it through the Command window (Start->Run->cmd then navigate to your UE Viewer directory) Here's a example

Let's say you have UE Viewer on Desktop, extract the rar and you have a UE Viewer folder, now go to Start -> Run -> cmd, a window should prompt up now and from there you navigate to your UE Viewer folder like this (I'm on Win7 so default directory is C:\Users\sn00p\) now tell the command window to go to Desktop in this way "cd Desktop" (without quotes ofc) and now the directory should be C:\Users\UrUsername\Desktop now do the same thing for UE Viewer tho (cd UE Viewer)

Once your on UE Viewer folder with cmd window, tell the umodel.exe to export/view your .upk/.xxx package, but since you want to extract them this is the main command "C:\Users\UrUserName\Desktop\UE Viewer\umodel -export -all PackageNameHere

You can also write umodel without -export -all etc to see the help, supported games and also some other commands.

Sorry for my english also... Sad

I have had a pop following you and Esr911 tutorial.

I have set up the directory and when i put umodel -extract (file name)

It says this:
'umodel' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Any ideas?

Write here the whole thing from "X:\...." guess your doing something wrong

Edit: Just a full example "C:\users\sn00p\Desktop\uModel\umodel -export -all TehPackage" and should work fine

You should enclose game path into double quotes (because it contains spaces which confusing any command line application - say "hello" to Microsoft with their spaces everywhere).
Code:
umodel -path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\unreal tournament 3\UTGame\CookedPC" CH_TwinSouls_Cine.upk

Cheers, i got a bunch of assests, including static meshes from UT3 guns and a bioshock level.

They are in PSKX file type, how do i change that so it is importable to ukd?

I tried changing it to PSK, and it imports as a skeletel mesh, which i dont really want :L, i would like to import as a static mesh so i tried changing it to fbx and it wont import.

Any help? thanks ali
