Hi! recently ive been trying to rip models from as the title implies, Rogue Squadron 2.
A Gamecube Star Wars title by Factor 5.
I found a quickBMS script to extract the .DAT files from the root of the "Rogue2" folder on the disc.

This worked like a charm and managed to get everything into that "Extract" folder.
Buuuuut there's more DAT files inside that the script won't work with.
Here's just one of said DAT files that won't work with the script.
pilLuke_tpd.dat
You can find the script here.

If anyone can help out that would be greatly appreciated

Interesting. Well, iteachvader might be interested in your extraction work. However, he would redirect this toward a Dolphin forum to decode the files into something more useful. But that’s only looking at it in a positive light.
He might be frustrated that you haven’t been able to actually extract the models themselves. Still, I’ll keep my eyes out for any expert decoders with these strange files because of the custom format Factor 5 encoded them in.

It’s one solution.
And I found this guy too:

I deleted the off-topic posts in this thread to make sure it doesn't get totally derailed. Carry on!

Nothing quite yet.
Haven't posted to the dolphin forums yet and the xentax post is seemingly just getting looked over :p
