So... on the RSS image front

The issue I am having may have more to do with the Beta version of the game than I first thought. Some images work fine:
Image
Click for larger image

Others have issues:
Image
Click for larger image

In the image with issues, everything in the file is telling me the image should be 1024x1024. Well after hunting down all the referenced files (which is the first problem I mentioned in an earlier post, I forgot to give it the ability to search for all those required files), piecing them together to build the DDS file, something just isn't right. For one, file size didn't seem large enough for a 1024x1024 image. If I edit the DDS file with a hex editor and change the height and width to 512x512...

Click for larger image

Looks good. Yeah, but everything tells me it should be 1024x1024. Back to the drawing board. In order to create an image file for RSS, there are four files required (maybe more, that could be one of the drawbacks of the Beta version). The header file, which references the other required files and provides some other information (height, width, and a few others). The referenced files are in reverse order (smallest mipmaps to largest). Each of the referenced files contain image data, height and width again, the size of the image data of the previous file(s). Well, that was the key. Looking at that bit of information for the image that works that size is zero, meaning, there have been no image data files prior to this one. Looking at that information for the image that doesn't work, that size is 524,288. There is quite a large chunk of the image file that is missing!!!

So all I can do right now is fix the issue that shouldn't have been an issue in the last release and see if that works for anyone with the full version of the game.

Thanks a lot for the update, but sadly i still get the same errors. I disabled any sorts of UAC, am logged in as admin and have full acess to any folders archive next uses, also turned off anti virus but the errors are still there.

It's not a big issue for me personally as i don't mind exporting and looking through things, though.

Hey guys!

Thanks a lot for this amazing tool!

I'm actually ripping some models from assassin's creed 1 on PC.

I would like to know if is it possible to rip model with their location on the scene?

For example, i would like to rip the solomon temple, but all the assets are in the same location when i import them into blender(and it's really hard to find their real locations).

I tried with 3d ripper dx but i have no 3d capture ( the game launch but when i press the button, nothing happens...).

Thanks a lot! :)

If the latest update did not fix the model viewer issue, texconv is not your only problem, and you are suffering from a problem that has plagued ARchive_neXt for a long time.

that will be really helpfull and replace the preview option !

Search is in the works, but most likely not until I'm further along with the new games.

Sounds like they did in fact change something in the full version of the game. I may have to buy the game this weekend in order to fix this issue.

I have the same issues with the full version.
Comparing the beta, Steam and UPlay files shows different file sizes for the same files. So they probably changed the
partition of the images. Additionally they changed some of the forge files with each update, including the largest difference
for the Ultra HD update.

Would it be of any help if you have a forge file together with some of the DDS-textures obtained from NinjaRipper ?

Each piece of the image is in a different forge file. So, with the beta version, that makes 4 forge files. Being that a piece is missing, it's possibly in another forge file. I'll have the game tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

In the meantime, I'm working on the search function and adding the index system to the older games.
