roydbt Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I want to update the wiki pages with actual pictures and not some low-resolution screenshots so I was looking for all of the assets and all I could find is 2 files: resources.assets resources.assets.rsS And I couldn't find any useful guides on how to extract file from these. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer ImDaMisterL Posted February 18, 2017 Developer Share Posted February 18, 2017 I don't think Klei officially added a way yet... maybe a modder could help you out? I sure hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider2430 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I would recommending waiting on doing anything with assets, atleast until the full release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that .asset files are Unity asset files, in which there are ways unpack them, results may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember that there are far bigger games out there that uses Unity, and as a result a large collection of tools to deal with Unity, it's files and encryption of said files.

Yeah, but what nut is going to sit there for hours trying to encrypt it when they could be playing the game and shooting out ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You severely underestimates the passion for this kind of stuff. I'll use Don't Starve (SUPER EARLY DAYS) as an anecdote. Back way back when, the lua files used to be compiled, and you had to de-compile each file, and most of the time, if you where lucky it would de-compile somewhat fine, most of the time. Me, and a smaller group spent hours scavenging through the code, assets and whatnot. We would find easter-eggs, improved information on wikis, future content that wasn't yet included in the game and even fix broken parts of the game long before it actually made it into an official patch. It's fun! You get to see people be happy about your work and honestly that's more satisfaction than I ever get from a game. Heck, Klei embraced it and included part of their famous patch-puzzles in the code for data miners to find and theorize about, share with the community. At one point they even stopped pre-compile their lua files so that everyone could dig around and mess about with the scripts, it's pretty much how the modding community was born for that game. I met some of my greatest friends during that period of my life, which I still have extensive contact with. tl;dr It's a hobby, like stamp-collecting or knitting.

If they hadn't made the move to LUA files loaded at run-time, I don't think the modding scene would have ever taken off. As they used to say, those were the days...
