Just type the Cell# blocks as instructed in the search bar, and it will find them for you, then export both blocks making sure to rename them after so they do not get overwritten, and then after your done, import each and one of them in your desired software, but be prepared for large files, and also, they will be incomplete, as the tool is not finished an doesn't support all types, unfortunately.

Unfortunately this tool like many others about this engine, is unfinished, so what ever you extract, it will be incomplete, broken, missing parts etc etc etc etc etc, you will waste your time, so before continue, stop, cause I tried and wasted a looooooooot of time on it, its sad, because these maps are great.

I know this extractor is old but I was wondering if this ACexplorer can get scene from Assassins Creed Syndicate? My goal is to get Westminster palace and Westminster Bridge.

[*]Export the assembled meshes as they appear in the world (see the Notre Dame example below)
I know this project is discontinued a long time ago, but for god sake, SHOW US how to assmebled the meshes! Like... YOu just told us about the plugin system and that's it!

Do I like, Select multiple DataBlocks by selecting them and then right click, and right click again, and select export?

I... I freaking don't freaking get it. There's no multiple select, there's no check boxes, there's no FUCKING nothing, to tell you how to export assembled mesh.

I can relate to your raging frustration more than I could explain here, but, there’s no need for foul language to get proper help/answers, what I recommend is this, even if it’s outdated here in the forum, join its discord to get it's more newer version.

thank you,but I have some suggestion.
It will be more convenient if we can choose more data to export, because it is cumbersome to choose one by one.

All the normal maps we exported seem to be damaged, showing the appearance of mosaic. I hope they can be repaired.

I try to use the old version ACExplorer V1.0.1,it better than ACExplorer V1.0.2.
Its normal map is quite normal, but it is a little translucent due to the addition of an alpha channel. You have to use the XnView tool to convert it to BPM format, and then turn the B channel into white in PS, and then delete the alpha channel to return to normal. I hope to update the tool to fix these problems later. Although the steps are a little troublesome, it is indeed possible to successfully export the models and maps in the game and restore them in other 3D software. Finally, thank you for your efforts.

So I have been trying to extract models from AC games for a long time and I found this amazing tool, however, I have a few questions, firstly, does this work for any AC game or only AC Unity, and secondly, after trying to export a model my antivirus (norton) would shut down AC explorer, any idea on how to avoid this.

Hey, I have two problems, firstly, I was trying to export meshes from ac syndicate and when I tried that my anti-virus (norton) shut down the program, any way to solve this, and my other problem is that when I try to export files from other games, the script reads "exception: unsupported forge file format : "25""
Is there a way to solve this.
