Titanfall Model Ripping - Developers

Hello, I am trying to rip models from the Titanfall beta, I already got a ramdump and a mini ramdump using a program called process explorer, I have read somewhere that I only need a certain section of the ramdump. So can someone just tell me where to go from here and if I am doing something wrong? I'm pretty new to this and I am eager to learn :3 Thanks ~Laith

Anyone? :(

[QUOTE=WizzLaith;43969868]Anyone? :([/QUOTE] You should probably go to a coding forum if you want to learn how to make an extractor program.

[QUOTE=WizzLaith;43971000]Yeah, But I don't know where to start... Any advice?[/QUOTE] try the programming section

I don't see what you are trying to do with a ramdump its useless we have already figured out 90% of the archive content structure there will be a release in the coming week along with crowbar support for decompiling the models. Ill post up a thread once the content has been properly extracted.

Where should one start? :)

[QUOTE=WizzLaith;43971618]Is there a certain coding language I need to know to make the rippers and stuff?[/QUOTE] Nope pick whatever language you like but i'd suggest learning a vast majority of them or at least trying

[QUOTE=cra0kalo;43971644]Nope pick whatever language you like but i'd suggest learning a vast majority of them or at least trying[/QUOTE] Any language you recommend for beginners? And will I be able to rip game models after I've read the whole Xentax article?

[QUOTE=WizzLaith;43971618]Is there a certain coding language I need to know to make the rippers and stuff?[/QUOTE]No offense, but if you have to ask a question like this, you're probably a year or two (at minimum) of learning away from being able to tear apart file formats with your bare hands. Programming is [I]hard.[/I]

python or c++ is what I'd recommend to a beginner. Depends a lot on what you're planning to do in the future.

I'm just asking for help, Cuz people around here seem to know what they are doing when it comes to this.

Since if you know c++ well you will have a good understanding of data structures and how they are represented in memory. I would say c++ is also good to create your exporter tool with, allowing you to easily map reversed structures to data. Knowing assembly is also a plus, and been able to convert hex to dec in your head is good also, plus solid knowledge of the inner workings of many compression and encryption algorithms. But all this can be built up over time. So where to start? A lot of the new games are trying to stop reversing so it's gonna be rather hard for you to start there, you should find older games and reverse the formats they use. Once you get faster and build up your skills you will be in a better position to attempt new games.

And do you have any links I could start reading up on, or is it all pretty much on the one cra0 link?
