I understand. Impossible to do such complicated things and not make mistakes. Errare humanum est.

I mean what platform is the game from? I've got it on PC and will implement that soon:tm:
DW7/8 I don't own so I'll implement that when I get the games.

Depends on if and when I can buy it. I don't have the means to buy every single Koei game.

Nioh support added.
Models are double wrapped in MDLPACK and G1MPACK files, animations are in G2APACK files, textures are just straight G1Ts

The textures for the models is the model ID plus 1 (so model 929 has texture 930)

The Noesis plugin will struggle with some of the G1M files, because there's some unoptimized code in the script (which will be fixed soon,) and Team Ninja models tend to be high detail. So if Noesis freezes while loading a model, give it a few minutes. This will be fixed soon (some models will always lag a bit though, Nioh has a 70 MB model somewhere)

Use the quickbms script, I don't own Fatal Frame so I can't explore the files.

My apologies for the delay, I was away, and all mentioned games are PC versions, I thought it was already known due to archive format, sorry.
And now that I see Nioh is supported, will give it a try and test things out.

Regarding Nioh, it seems that Archive 10 has models which i think are from cutscene and such, Archive 11 has more models + some scenery one.
Archive 17 seems to contain only Scenery meshes, same for Archive 18.
I couldn't find any models regarding enemies/player items, Wild guess: they're in Archive_01 which, atm, has a whooping 16.6 gb unknown file, having only G2A packs extracted. Would it be possible to refine the extraction? :o

Models are double wrapped in MDLPACK and G1MPACK files, animations are in G2APACK files, textures are just straight G1Ts
Regarding Nioh, it seems that Archive 10 has models which i think are from cutscene and such, Archive 11 has more models + some scenery one.
Archive 17 seems to contain only Scenery meshes, same for Archive 18.
I couldn't find any models regarding enemies/player items, Wild guess: they're in Archive_01 which, atm, has a whooping 16.6 gb unknown file, having only G2A packs extracted. Would it be possible to refine the extraction? :o
yeah, I think so too. The G2A files in Archive 1 are character animations, the bin files seem to be XOR rotated with a 32-bit constant(?)

The BIN files clearly start with a G1T header, but instead of GT1G it's 0x345C6632

Ugh. I'm at an impasse. I'm sick atm so I can't just spend a day disassembling and debugging the game to find where it does this dumbass XOR operation, and if it's KTGL it's gonna be extremely dumb.

For now Nioh support will be limited to this.

It's fine, we can wait for as long as you need, the game won't go anywhere :D
Thanks for your help, get well!
