Is it possible for mainfes to be encrypted? Because I downloaded all the files when the game was loaded, but except for some obviously not, they are all unreadable code

I understand but at least I wants to keep card art and maybe 3d assets if possible.
I saw someone who seems to have extracted the models.
I really love the game a lot it might be impossible but.

So I uninstalled Nox because I didn't think I would be extracting anymore Game Assets from Mobile Games, but turns out there are other games I'd like to extract assets from.

I re-downloaded the latest version of Nox (7.0.1.6) and followed chroxx's tutorial again to set up the Fiddler-Nox Communication thing, but this time, every time I try to connect to the internet in Nox (by browser), it just keeps displaying the message "There are problems with the security certificate for this site.", followed by "This certificate [the DO_NOT_TRUST Fiddler Cert] isn't from a trusted authority" when clicking the option "View Certificate". When I launch an online game, it's just stuck in the initial loading screen.

Any help about this?

I just tried the LoS Manifest Links I have, and it still downloads the assets. The URLs I saved are from August 2020.

Assets other than the model can also be downloaded from the old manifest URL, but it seems that only the model can always be retrieved from the latest manifest URL. A manifest for 2020-December is required.

I have acquired many assets and manifests, but recently, many games have detected communication errors when using a network monitoring proxy.
Fiddler is almost useless these days. It's best to do a string search with process hacker.
With experience, can usually find the URL of a list file. Of course, some games don't even have a list.

Also, this is a technique taught by chrrox, but sometimes the list file is expanded only in memory.
In particular, json type lists are usually encrypted, so you'll get them from memory.

This game came out recently, all the assets are initially contained inside standard CPK files which can be extracted easily but the resulting files seem to be encrypted (maybe), a few sample models here in case someone wants to take a look:

Is it just me or does this not work reliably anymore?

I used this solution around 2 years ago for retrieving idolmaster models and it worked fine.

But most games these days seem to detect whether you're using a proxy and refuses the connection, displaying a connection timeout error.

I just tried Blue Archive, it does some initial tunnelling to the api for version info & to send some properties about device you're using and connection information, and then it throws a timeout.

I suppose checking strings in memory is the only viable way to do it now unless the game is packaged with all assets in an xapk/obb file. Just a bother because searching through strings can take a while unless you specifically know what to filter for, and even then some games use hashes to forbid you from directly accessing resource url's.

The IM@S thread is pretty much dead at this point, and if anyone that was a regular there is still reading this, maybe go back there and talk about the 2 new games, Starlit Season & SideM GROWING STARS.

Will it works with DC Comics legends (this is a mobile game on Unity engine)? Because there are so many anime fans on this thread and i can't be sure if this method will be work with this game.
I tried this method with other game, can't remember which (around 4 years ago) but it's was too hard for my brain...

Hi, I'm trying to get the assets from the game alternative girls 2 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... .alternajp Or https://apkpure.com/%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AB% ... .alternajp),

This game will be shutdown soon, while there will be an offline version of the game available, quite a few of the function will be removed.
If possible, I would like to have a backup of the entire game.

I tried to follow the tutorial, but some of the steps cannot be use for this game.

Firstly the with https inspection on, the game wont go past the main screen.

With it off, the Fiddler only shows that the game URL is tunneled.

Using Process hacker as the tutorial, and using the url that was listed in the Fiddler as the filter (amebagames.com and ameba.jp), I'm unable to find links that might contain the csv file.

However when I use the keyword cloudfront as the filter it does provide me with some link, example (https://d27zeb5uofrx7i.cloudfront.net/m ... dle/bnJx32). Those link are able to download some files, but they doesn't seems to be in CSV format.

If I open those file in notepad, they all started with the words UnityFS and is follow by a series of symbol, I can't find a way to convert these file into an CSV.

Can anyone give me some advice on how should I proceed with this? At the moment, I'm not even sure that the link I got from Process hacker is correct.

Those are unity3d files and they contain assets. Check this article http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/Unity_Unity3d_UnityFS
You can use AssetStudio for extraction.
