Asset Bundle Extractors

Perfare AssetStudio

Perfare AssetStudio is able to extract models and textures of the prefabs stored in Unity AssetBundles. AssetStudio also features other functions such as a file preview and a search bar to easily browse and select specific files. However some other prefab parts, such as particle effects and radar signatures, are beyond it.

Editor Scripts

Octree Viewer

It is very helpful to be able to visualize pathfinding octrees in unity. Shadowloutus whipped up a quick script to do so.

Usage:

• Download the script and place it in your unity project wherever you keep your scripts
• Add an Octree Viewer component to the map object that has the Battlespace component (if you add it to an object without a Battlespace it will automatically create a Battlespace)
• If your Battlespace does not have Octree data you will receive a warning. This visualization is done after all the octree generation steps in the map guide
• Else, you should see a visualization of the Octree whenever you have that object (or one of its parents) selected
• Remember to remove the script and save the prefab changes before exporting your map or your mod will create missing script errors in log files.
• This can also be used on maps extracted with AGM's Toolkit, just place the script on the object with a Battlespace.
• For questions, ping @shadowlotus on the discord

AGM's Toolkit

A useful set of tools for the editor. Mainly used to load prefabs and build asset bundles.

Install Instructions

Simply place somewhere it in your assets/editor folder. You will have an new option in your menu bar called "AGM's Toolkit."

Select the option in that menu called setup. 

This will open a window which should point to your game install directory automatically. Hit the grab asset bundle, and then the grab dll button to automatically grab the correct files from the game. You can now click the button in the menu bare called "Generate Load Assets Menu" This will create a menu bar called "Load Asset" which will contain a menu with every single vanilla asset.

The asset loading is more optimized, so individual assets are loaded and you can use the script in the same project as your mod. Many of the install steps will be consolidated in the future, I have kept them separate for now to ensure the script is easy to debug. If you get any errors please ping @agm114

Usage Instructions

Under the menu bar called "AGM's Toolkit" the first three options are Information: Creates a window with most of the modifiers in game. Quick Build Uncompressed AssetBundles: Quickly builds an asset bundle, great for testing your mod. Build LZ4 Compressed AssetBundles (Recommended) Builds a compressed asset bundle, which takes longer but results in a more compact file which is great for releases. These build options mean you don't need the asset bundle building script The script should also provide an error message when unity first loads if the incorrect render pipeline is selected.

There is also a menu bar called "Load Asset" which allows you to quickly load any vanilla (or modded asset per request)
