[Help] Extracting Cars: Fast As Lighting (Gameloft)?

Post by yohanc »

Hi guys,
I want to extract the lighting mcqueen model and the other, from Cars: Fast As Lighting, a Gameloft game
It's a free game, you can download the file here
http://play.mob.org/game/cars_fast_as_lightning.html
or only the "Cars.bar" and "Costumes.bar" files
http://www.mediafire.com/file/uhm5ffad3crcwjh/CARS.zip

I have searched the game models, and it is located in the Cars.bar and Costumes.bar
I have used the dragon unpacker and 7zip to unpack the .bar files, but there is a problem the extracted image files (tga) cannot be open,
and the model files in .bdae files, I have tried to open it using Chipicao's GT Racing 2 BDAE Importer, but it can't open the bdae files
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11095&hilit=milestone

Any idea guys with the texture (tga) error and the model bdae?
Thank You

Some model samples from the game would help.

Hi Wobble, thanks for your help!
Can you share the pluggin & teach me how to use it?
And what software did you use to extract the "Cars.bar" and "Costumes.bar"?
I especially need the "Lighting McQueen" and "Tow-Mater" model

Yeah, I still have problem with the texture too, I still can't open the extracted tga

Oops wrong person, wrong game. Somebody else sent me a bdae file for a different game at the same time you posted this message. It obviously wasn't you then.

I don't have any bdae files from this Cars game, btw.

Wobble, Here is the "Cars.bar" and "Costumes.bar" files
http://www.mediafire.com/file/uhm5ffad3crcwjh/CARS.zip

You can extract the .bar files using 7zip or dragon unpacker
(But please note that most of the tga file is not working if you extract the .bar files using 7zip or dragon unpacker, probably there are another tools that can extract the .bar files better with the working texture (tga) files)

Extract the Cars.bar using the 7zip or dragon unpacker, inside it there're "MCQUEEN_high.bdae" and "MATER_high.bdae"
Can you help me, and look into those .bdae files plz
Thx

Got it loaded:
mcqueen.JPG
I see 3 variations of data in .TGA filenames:
- Real TGA file
- KTX file
- Pkzipped file of multiple KTX files (rename to .zip to open)

These KTX files have a header id of "KTX 11". Never heard of them before, but you can probably find some converter tools here:

Thanks Wobble, I have tried it and it worked
But I can't export it as .obj file because I only use the demo version
So can you plz help me convert this "MCQUEEN_high.bdae" and "MATER_high.bdae" into .obj file?

Update: Thanks Wobble for sending me the converted obj files
