awesome work so far!
I'm mainly interested in the 3d models, so in the xbg conversion tool, if I correctly understood the only big problem left to fix is the uv scaling, right?

Not really, cra0 and I have determined that most models use a scale of 2 or 3. We'll have to do more tests when the tool is ready, but worst case scenario you'll have to input a scaling factor manually.
Please post any requests or issues with my tools in the appropriate topics.
I'm sorry if I don't reply or if I ignore PMs. My time is very limited.

Thx for answer
This is also something I was looking for but came short of finding.
I mean, I think the radio stations/music tracks are packed inside sound.dat like most/all of the generic sounds used by the game. But probably the problem is the conversion process from SBAO to OGG, which fails for a lot of those files. For example, 00114db4.sbao file is (Chicago - Wake Up Sunshine) one of the musics that are played in vehicles, but I came short of getting others.
Can anyone else chime in on this?

Anyway, great work everyone! 8D

P.S: As far as the missions soundtrack goes: http://bit.ly/1pYbws6

I've changed few bytes in unpacked graphics/vehicles_nexus/land/muscle/muscle_03/ files and packed them back into patch.fat and patch.dat. Put them both into data_win64 folder and run the game. but I see no changes on respective models. Looks like modified file is ignored.

May be I've missed some point? I've packed with Gibbed.Disrupt.Pack.exe with no extra options, just as:

Pack patch.fat graphics

You need to pack the containing directory. The root directory given to Pack is not included as part of the data path used in the archives.

Don't ask me about localization tools; if you don't have the resources to develop them yourself you don't need them.

I reckon Bottle Caps are way more comfortable to trade and suffer less fluctuation overall.

Yeah, i've got unpacked that archive an same problems with converting the sbao's. The soundtrack OST is the original Soundtrack CD, but there isn't that backgroundmusic of the bunker mission. Hope they can fix the sbao converter or something. In my oppinion, I think there some sbao files missing in that archive.
