@Askal: I'm not sure the game is using native sound format, while third-party audio like wwise or criware formats are not supported by umodel. As for using particular UE version in command line, you can use "-game=tag", where tag can be generic version (like "-game=ue4.17") or specific override (like "-game=kh3"). All available tags can be viewed with "-taglist" argument.

@Askal: If you mean extracting assets as-is, without converting them, you can use "-save" option. But it would be better to use quickbms script or other tools for extraction, as umodel can only recognize native assets within packages and third-party formats are excluded from its scope. You can also run umodel with "-help" to see all available options and see examples of command line usage at the bottom of main page.

Alright thanks, i was asking since, I was curious if there was a way to do it natively on linux without the use of WINE (A linux program that can run windows apps like quickbms).
