UABE - Asset Bundle Extractor

[ErrorNull]

i am also getting the error when attempting to open the alpha 20 bundles. looks like uabe needs to be updated. i'm hoping someone with the brains able to do this as this is a great tool. i used it all the time to open the alpha 19.6 bundles..

i found this tool called AssetStudio which allows you to browse the asset bundles https://github.com/Perfare/AssetStudio/releases

 

but we still could use a tool that allows modders to modify existing bundles and not just view...

UABE is the only asset editing tool...

i see. how about using the full unity software. would that get us anywhere with modify the asset bundles?

This was suggested in Discord: https://github.com/ds5678/AssetRipper

 

You will need to import ripped assets into Unity to edit them.

Probably you are talking about methods, something like repacking assets... No, i think it won't work.

 

If it is necessary to interfere with ready-made cassettes, there is no alternative.

Modding for 7dtd now supports many opportunity, but they may not be enough for some special tasks.

Unfortunately, only the asset editing utility can do this.

(even in order to make a link(shift) from one asset to another, we need an asset editing utility)

 

Perhaps the functionality that UABE has left will help us in something.

But i haven't edited the new version yet, and i can't clarify anything about it.

We need to go up to the roof and turn on the spotlight

[n2n1]

Although..... we used to replace repackaged assets... but it rolled with simple resources that contained simple textures or e.t.c - without metadata.

 

(previously, a bundle with terraintextures was redone this way)

Is there an alternative way to extract the current models from the game? I'd like to create new meshfile models for potions and have no basis for orientation - I was going to use the glass jar as a foundation

Does this work with Alpha 20? I'm having a very hard time getting this to work.

Use AssetRipper.

Apologies if there is a very simple answer to this but I'm trying to get the model of a raised bed farm plot... I've downloaded AssetRipper and when I open it in the native program it opens in Visual Studio 2017, and prompts me to sign in - as it is a commercial program.

Is this right? I can't see a way to extract the unity files

[DerPopo]

I guess it's time for an update, as UABE stands right beneath humanity in terms of "things that still exist". UABE 3.0 is out, see the main post.

 

Note that Texture2DArray is not yet supported for Texture exports / imports, if you want to modify blocktextureatlases.

It's a great day!

Hmm.  This is going to be interesting.  UABE was without updates for so long everyone had given up on it.  Another dev has already taken up the mantle with a "Unity Asset Bundle Avalonia" fork that has some new features like being able to load compressed asset bundles into RAM rather than decompressing to a separate file for editing.  I guess it could be interesting to see where things go from here if UABE is back.  It still lacks some UABE features like some plugins, so perhaps each could end up being better at certain tasks versus the other.

Small bug report:

I tried to change Textures2d in the asset - some replacements were successful, but one gives an error:

Spoiler

 

 

 

I load texture file in format - png.

I restarted everything and tried another file, but the error repeats steadily in this place.

BC6H and BC7 import support was broken. Fixed the code on github. Here's a compiled variant:

Thanks! It worked.

32 and 64 bit downloads both trigger a Trojan warning from Windows Defender. Reports different Trojans each time, Script/Oneeva, Script/Wacatac. I'm guessing these are false positives? Malwarebytes isn't finding anything in them.

[Nazo]

It probably is.  In general I don't like the attitude of "everything is a false positive" that typically goes around, but, that said, I seriously don't think this one is going to have a virus and the fact that the two are reporting something completely different (not variants of the same) is also extremely telling.  (I'm not saying it's impossible to have different viruses for different versions, just if someone was trying to sneak a virus in they probably wouldn't bother.)  That said, you could always try VirusTotal to get a check across a number of different antivirus engines if you want to be extra sure.  A real virus should pop up in at least most of them, whereas a false positive will probably only show up in a handful at the most.

I tried the Asset Ripper and Bundling through Unity method over the weekend and had no luck. I feel like Asset Ripper is pulling something out in the wrong format. I am unable to figure out what to bundle in order to match the same size as the original file without changing any of the files and I tried all methods of compression. I got a good bundle together and the game log won't load the file saying that there is a missing texture array but the only texture array I found I made sure was there so I feel like it's the wrong format possibly?

[n2n1]

Well... try to replace the internal contents of the original bundle with the help of UABE...

(then the bundle will remain with the original format)

UABE wont open the latest bundles. Unless I'm doing something wrong.
