Archives are similar, if not "same" as those used in Just Cause 4.

These files are incomplete. You will need meshc, modelc, ddsc files. All of these files are inside ee archive. Those archives cannot be extracted (the header is missing) and I don't know where these data are.

EDIT:
So now I know where these data are, it should be relatively easy to make an extractor.

RAGE 2, ee, fl , nl, bl archives now can be extracted with R2SmallArchive.
It's part of Apex Toolset V1.2.

[ventuhr]

Yeah, it doesn't do anything after I dropped .ee files with it.

In the configuration file have you enabled the Generate_Log?

I think I managed to make it work with current settings


Max plugin needs to be updated though, doesn't work (improper file format error) when trying to import mesh,

Also I think .hrmeshc contains real geometry data that .meshc refers to

[PredatorCZ]

Also I think .hrmeshc contains real geometry data that .meshc refers to

modelc contains material data, and refers to meshc.
meshc contains low resolution meshes and refers to hrmeshc
hrmeshc is high resolution mesh, it contains buffers for highest quality meshes.
Multiple modelc files can refer into single meshc file.
hrmeshc files are stored only inside arc files, besause of their size, and because modelc/meshc are duplicated along of many small archives.
Funny thing, is that all collected small archives (~3200) have size ~26GB, after extracting them all, the size of extracted data is ~3GB. This engine seems like a giant bloatware tbh.

With your bms script, theHunter and theHunter Primal works 100%.
I tested with several meshes and got everything to work fine, thank you.

Hey, can you(or anyone here) help me do this? What do I need to extract Primal files, and how do I do it..? Is it possible to get custom content working in the game, as well(re-compressing or something)..?

Thank you!
