ROM Hack Question How i can open .gfpak files?

[Kirbyyeray]

i want to edit pokémon lets go textures but i cant open gfpak files

Not sure, either. I've been looking for a way to start extracting the models and textures, but no luck yet.

Use this script. Run quickbms with it and select the file. bnt = bntx (textures), bns = bnsh (shader). .dat is unkown format (could be models, config files, etc). Atm model format is new and cannot be ripped atm afaik.

Thanks for the information! I'll take a crack at it and see what I can come up with. I appreciate the information!

i'm going to test it thx!

quickbms script works flawlessly. I've gotten tons of textures from the game and I can't wait until someone (much smarter than me) figures out how to extract models!

@KillzXGaming How do i edit the .bnt texture files? Also is there any way to repack it into a gfpak file? Mods have been made that changes textures, is this the method they used to edit the textures?

 

[Deobulakenyo]

someone already figured it out: https://gamebanana.com/games/6773

i want a light blue pikachu

 

[HelloThere123]

@Deobulakenyo Do you know how they did it?

I'm also interested in how to edit bnt files (do you just rename to bntx and open in bntx editor?) and how to repack everything into gfpak.

 

[HelloThere123]

@h448 Yeah, tell me if you figure it out, because there loads of mods that edit the textures so there must be a way

Did this one day before Official Release o/
Pretty simple format

 

[HelloThere123]

@xXDungeon_CrawlerXx Yeah, its cool and i really wanna try to make my own but how did you edit the textures?

@xXDungeon_CrawlerXx Yeah, its cool and i really wanna try to make my own but how did you edit the textures?

Extract gfpak with quickBMS Script => rename bnt to bntx => extract as DDS with BNTX Editor => find a Tool to edit DX10 (BC7 SRGB) DDS Textures => replace file in bntx with you edited one => Repack with quickbms script

The GFPak-Tool I'm working on isn't finished yet

 

[HelloThere123]

Ah, thx so much! Looking forward to your editor. Cant wait till the model formats are reverse engineered.

@xXDungeon_CrawlerXx Sorry for bugging you, but i cant find a dds editor that works. All of the ones i have tried have crashed. I have tried paint.net, gimp (both with dds plugins), ddsviewer, and a bunch of others, all saying that the file isnt a supported dds format. Also which file should i try to be opening? pm0001_00_BodyA_amb.dds?
