A8Tool - Asphalt 8 FBX Converter for Android, iOS & Win32

[autobotlongarm]

I ran into a problem, and that's Asphalt Nitro pig file not extracting for some reason. The only model I see worth extracting from it is the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the Ford Shelby GT500 since they look different to their Asphalt 8 counterpart.

The error message has already pointed you the solution:
"Wrong game version! Try PIG2FBX instead!"

Of course you won't see this message if you're not running the tool through command line.

cant import the textures from Aspalt Xtreme. And i unfortunatelly dont understand what the author means in the main post.. "To load ASTC-compressed pvr images in PVRTexTool, you'll need to download astcenc.exe, place the corresponding executables in your preferred location,
then place the location in the environment variable PATH." What are the "corresponding executables"? What is the "environment variable PATH"? Where is this location?

Alright, think I'm gonna explain you "patiently".

What are the "corresponding executables"?

If you'd already downloaded the astc-encoder you should probably notice that there're binary executables for different computer architectures. So, pick the CORRESPONDING one for your system.

What is the "environment variable PATH"?

Refer to the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable). Don't know how to add a new location into the PATH? Google it!

Where is this location?

It reads "your preferred location", so any location where you prefer the astcenc.exe to be. As simple as that.

------------------

I specially downloaded the Android version game again (v1.7.3) and they still work fine:

car_suv_mercedes-benz_g500_livery02_occ_mk.jpg

But in your screenshot it shows your image format is astc 8x8 which doesn't make sense.

no idea... thats how it is. Pvrtextool v4.20, Asphalt Xtreme 1.7.3b build 17325 (OpenGL ES 3.1). I see there is another build Asphalt Xtreme 1.7.3b build 17324 (OpenGL ES 2.0)
here the downloadlink of 17325: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/5Je2/LD9NWzMnc

Just upload your tga file so I can have a check.

only "car_suv_mercedes-benz_g500_rfx.tga" can be imported bug free

My bad. Your image was indeed in astc 8x8 format.

car_suv_mercedes-benz_g500_occ_mk.jpg

only "car_suv_mercedes-benz_g500_rfx.tga" can be imported bug free

They all work fine:

car_suv_mercedes-benz_g500_rfx.tga is also astc 8x8 compressed, no idea why you can open it correctly but failed with the others.

well, pvrtextool is sometimes weird. i had another error by import, it said the texture doesnt exist in the location where it is, or something like this.
Just tried again to import android textures and they are pink. Anyway they work fine with the ios version.

[Bigchillghost]

well, pvrtextool is sometimes weird.

If it works well on everyone else's PC but not yours, then it must be you doing something wrong.
So what did you do exactly to solve the astc-encoding issue?

i had another error by import, it said the texture doesnt exist in the location where it is, or something like this.

If you encounter an error like this:

PathIssue.jpg

then your path must contain illegal characters.

Anyway they work fine with the ios version.

Does it work with the astc-encoded images?

Files from vary platforms have no difference in data. The only difference between Android/iOS and Win32 version is that the files are packed in different ways.

There are difference in texture compression, iOS version have less compession artifacts.
I uploaded my testing samples here, if anyone's curious.

Here's a forked edition specially modified for the game Rival Wheels.

A8ToolRW.zip

Textures from this game are legacy PVR images, so just change the ext form tga to pvr.

Note that the security checks are removed in this ver so it'll definitely crash with files from other games.
