This tool can extract and convert game resources from Star Stable Online (SSO) and several other games developed in the Pixeltale Game Studio Engine.

To run it, you first need to install the .NET 6 Desktop Runtime. from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/down ... .0/runtime

You can report bugs in this topic, and we'll see if it's something that can be fixed or not. This tool does not come with any form of guarantee of support!

I recommend that you create copies of the game files, and of any converted models extracted by the tool. There is no guarantee that this tool will work with future updates of the game.

Common Questions

Q: Can I mod games with this tool?
A: No, it only unpacks and converts resources. There are no plans to add any modding functionality.

Change log

1.0 - First version

1.1
+ New option to extract all resources from the CSA-files (without conversion). This is useful if you want to research the formats yourself.
+ Cancel button added.
* Fixed a bug where extraction would fail if the destination folder name contained non-english characters.

1.3
+ Added support for older games: Star Stable 1, Star Stable 2, Star Stable 3, Star Stable 4 and Barbie Horse Adventures - Riding Camp.
+ Added support for all known vertex formats (three were missing in the last version).
+ New option to select different folder layouts during extraction. SSO has over 50K resources so this helps to organize them better.
+ Added a button to open the log file directly after extraction to easier support and debugging.
* Switch the model file format to FBX instead of DAE. There were several bugs that could not be solved in the DAE format.

1.3.1
+ Minor bug fix, some models where not converted successfully.

Is there a chance in the future to fix the extractor against the new image format, if the developers would decide to change formats?

That all depends on how much it requires. The new files are only these small icons now, so not that interesting. If you use v1.0 then they will be unpacked without an extension to the AdditionalTextures folder. Feel free to have a look at them and figure out what they are. Looks like bitmap data without a header to me:

Code: Select all

Icon_HorseHair40
Icon_HorseHair40_Extra_01
Icon_HorseHair40_Extra_02
Icon_HorseHair40_Extra_03

They are named GHnn_Keypose. The next version will try to rename them into something more natural.

There are several thousands of textures. I suggest that you browse through the texture folders to find what you are looking for.

There should be a file named "ssoextract_log.txt" in the destination folder. I should be able to see what is wrong if you send that to me in a DM.

Hi ! Have you worked on other features? I would be interested in the rigs of the 3D models but I don't know how to get them

Posted: **Sun Sep 04, 2022 9:09 am**

Hey! When I wanted to use the software it says that "you must install missing frameworks for .NET" . I installed the program called .NET how could I solve this problem?

You have not installed .NET if you get that message. You need to install the ".NET Desktop Runtime", the download link is in the first post of the thread.

I love your program thank you so much for making it!! Is there any way you could make it also have a repackage option so we can edit the extracted files and then actually put them in the game?

Posted: **Fri Oct 14, 2022 9:56 pm**

Is this still active? I would like to report a bug... No matter what I do, it always says "3 textures failed"... And I think one is the texture I need, the Zony...
