A simple Texture viewer :P . Will update when we'll be able to repack the files (and make an integrated dds viewer maybe).

First of all, kudos to Ekey, as the unpacker works like a charm. However, since the game is now a full release and the newest FileNames.list is outdated now, I have a question:
where do the filenames come from and is there a possibility to update them by yourself easily? The file itself is plain text, but I honestly have no idea where the file names come from.
Also, one thing got me curious - since the FileNames.list file contains simply a full path but no CRC, offset or whatsoever, yet the program correctly named some of the files after extraction, how does it know which file is what o.o? That really puzzles me up.

If not, I guess I'll need to settle with most of the files having no names (I mostly need the UI textures from gui.dat) or wait for an official update :)

EDIT: Oh, and since I'm messing with textures, one more thing to notice:

I'm not sure which extractor is it, but for referecne: Gibbed Dunia 2 Tools (with GUI) works just fine with the game's XBT textires as a DDS converter :)

I've released the script I was working on for importing meshes: viewtopic.php?p=91256#p91256

It's still incomplete as it doesn't import materials or textures, but everything else works fine, including LODs, submeshes, normals, mesh and UV scaling, hierarchy.
Please post any requests or issues with my tools in the appropriate topics.
I'm sorry if I don't reply or if I ignore PMs. My time is very limited.

You can get new names from game memory and add in FileNames.list

I've added 2580 files by parsing all model files and listing materials, and by "brute forcing" material files in search for textures.
I cant's say if they're all good, but at least some of them are working because I see new files renamed.
