I'm sorry for resurrecting this old thread.

I was able to extract the geometry and import it into Blender thanks to @volfin's script. I also converted a lot of xbt files into dds but I can't figure how to see the textured file in Blender.. I mean, how can I check which textures is connected to e.g. "barn_floor_01"?

Edit: maybe I'm missing something because 90% of textures are just 128 or 64..

I unpacked the resources, but some of the textures are broken. For example, the texture veh_gen_car_light_d from graphics\vehicles\land\heavy\veh_semi_classic in XnView:

And in photoshop:

How to fix it?

You should use another converter.
or Can you share raw texture file?

But there are many converters.
But the problem may be in Raw textures or converter.

To better understand, you should share sample textures.

There are two files in the archive - original xbt and converted dds.

Dude, your example is fine. There's no problem with the texture map.
What program do you open dds files? I am using "IntelTextureWorks_1.0.4" for photoshop.

if you are still having problems you can send me other examples.

Nvidia plugin is not very good

Use "Intel® Texture Works Plugin for Photoshop"
Or you can try use Noesis

I generally use noesis to convert FC5 textures as well, so I definitely suggest that if you don't want to use the other suggested software

Alright so I just started to learn how to mod and managed to extract fat and dat files with the extractor. I particulary aim to change the soundtracks in the car with the radio to add custom songs. I searched for hours but I wasn't able to find them ( I took a look in patch / common / farcry5 dat files in the folder soundbinary ). They are probably in a wem format and I listened almost all the tracks ( turned them into ogg files ) but I never found the songs. However, I found the sounds that start when you open the map menu and I might be able to modify them and repack them to use it with the Resistance mod from nexusmod. If someone knows where those radio songs are located let me know, thx :keke:

so i extracted all the files, i think*. is unpacking FC5 stuck at the point where we don't get the material files named correctly when extracting them, and we need to manually look for the material files/textures used by the model, by scanning the bin material files, after opening the model in blender or smthg, and seeing what materials the model uses? oh boy..

*another question, what .fat files do we need to export in order to get all the models and textures extracted?
i followed the instructions to import it into blender, they said to unpack:

common.fat
worlds/installpkg.fat
worlds/farcry5.fat
patch.fat

are there more to get all models, and textures?
