Dune: Awakening

[Serin-019]

Gday fellas. Feel free to ignore this. Worked it out. Duh.

Chances are I'm doing something terribly wrong, but having searched around the various links etc, I'm not seeing a direct solution to my probably dumb issue.

Attempting to get into Dune Awakenings files with the linked specific version and all that - dumped the download into my umodel folder, set to ue5.2 override and am currently getting the following error:

Serialized FString is not null-terminated
FString<< <- FPakVFS::LoadPakIndex <- FPakVFS::ReadDirectory: PakVer=11.0 <- RegisterGameFile: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DuneAwakening/DuneSandbox/Content/Paks/Abilities.pak <- ScanGameDirectory <- ReadDir <- ScanGameDirectory <- ReadDir <- ScanGameDirectory <- ReadDir <- ScanGameDirectory <- appSetRootDirectory: dir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DuneAwakening <- Main: umodel_build=1579 based fix155

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Addendum: I did get 2 instances of the game to load up, but it was showing 0 files of 500something scanned. Weirdly can't reproduce said opening with any level of regularity.

Addendum 2: Ok, got the sucker to open consistently. But yeah the list remains blank.
Is this where the AES key comes into play? Or am I still missing something obvious and important?

Disregard all this mess. Finally got it working. Jesus christ... sorry fellas.

No problems getting it running, however when attempting to export a myriad of uasset's I get errors such as the following

Code:

******** /DuneSandbox/Content/Dune/Environment/SetDressing_Vehicles/Meshes/GroundVehicles/1mesh/SM_Env_Prop_Smugglers_Buggy.uasset:  StaticMesh4'SM_Env_Prop_Smugglers_Buggy' ********

ERROR: Access violation (C0000005) at umodel_materials_ue5.exe+0x1EEEE

Some exports work fine, such as skybox models, but many vehicle models throw that error. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello guys, just a question regarding the game
at the moment, is possible to extract models with their textures, or the use of custom matarials will get us just with the 3d mesh?

@Serpicos: You can extract textures for this game (maybe not all of them, but most ones), though how they should be applied is a real question. Umodel doesn't handle properly even modern PBR materials, while many people understand how MRAO, ramp, texture arrays and other similar things should be used after they're exported. In comparison here things are a way more complex, with almost no hardcoded diffuse and normal maps, and almost everything stored in arrays, where a texture can be not just a texture array, but reference to texture objects array, or reference to a default placeholder, which is replaced at runtime with actual custom texture based on some blueprints and stuff.

All those things are out of scope of umodel, but I think people at respective communities (maybe the game one) already managed to replicate game materials to some extent.

yes you got the point, now days with moder games, often the biggest concern is if we can get a proper diffuse texture
with this game if i'm understanding well, ot's not so common sadly
