NDS Model Ripping Tutorial

[DrMcCoy]

Open a command prompt. Drag unherf.exe to it. Then drag the .herf file you want to extract to it. Finally, type 'e' and press enter.

Hmm, "unherf.exe foo.herf e" shouldn't work. It should be "unherf.exe e foo.herf". I.e. the command (e for extract) should come before the file.

Does it indeed work for you the other way round? Looking over my code again, and even checking the sources and binaries I distribute for both 0.0.3 and 0.0.2, I can't imagine how. o_O

Instead of extracting to the local directory of unherf or the .herf file, it extracts to the local directory of the command prompt

Yes, that's quite intentional. It should extract the file into the current directory. That's how pretty much all command line unpackers work.

And yes, like it says in the release notes for xoreos-tools, these are command line tools.

We do have the start of a GUI resource explorer for the BioWare games, Phaethon, but it doesn't do NDS and HERF. There's also no binaries available for it, only the sources. I got frustrated having to fiddle with wxWidgets to get it to not misalign buttons and other widgets all the time, so I stopped working on it for the moment. It's not like I don't have a million of other things on the xoreos TODO list.

I consider it up for grabs right now, so anybody who would want to work on Phaethon, please contact me . Though it would probably be better to rewrite it to use Qt5 instead of wxWidgets.
