In New in this stuff and I need some advice. - Angelic Gamer Gal - 06-05-2025
Hello everyone, first I want to introduce myself, like my handle says I am a gamer Girl, I been gaming almost all my life, first console gaming, PC both regular titles and MMO and also Mobile Games.
Through out my gaming journey I have experienced great joy and also sadness specially when my favorite characters get taken away because the games shutdown (mobile and MMO's mostly) happened many times already and as crazy as it may sound it has started to take a toll on my mental health so I made up my mind and set a goal of securing all my favorite characters models so I can keep them with me even if the game is gone.
And who knows maybe eventually make my own game in which I can put them all (of course it will be a personal project, not for commercial use) and I decided to start with a game called E.T.E Chronicle.
I used an app called Cx File Explorer and looked at all the folders in there but I just can't seem to identify which files belong to the actual character models data.
Can someone please give me some pointers here ?
Like I said I'm very new in this so I've read very little about this topic, little I know is that in some cases models can be extracted directly from the game files and others need some program specific for the game engine ( Unity or Unreal) and also programs like Ninja Ripper.
In this game's case I decided to start by what seem the easiest way which is going directly to the game files but like I said I don't even know what I am looking for lol.
All help and pointers will be greatly appreciated.
