I'm trying to get the animations and models for Lego LoTR for the Wii, but they all are stuck behind a .DAT file.  Any ideas on how to break this?  I think they're in MOBJ format, but that's only through a hex editor, so I could be wrong

Hi - I should note that most of the time the folks who develop a game (in this case, Traveller's Tales) are different to the ones who publish it. As for how to decompress it, you can use this QuickBMS script to do so.

Places to get help:
DYKG/VG Resource Discord - This is where most of the ripping experts on the VG Resource hang out these days, so you should probably start here. Any requests to rip stuff (i.e. "Please rip sounds/models/sprites from game X!") are only allowed here as per the rules.

ResHax forum - Another forum that is home to most of the reverse engineers who were on the old ZenHax and XenTax forums. A great place to get help for any mysterious files. I'm also there under the same username.

And remember, always upload example files. That way, people don't have to dig in and fetch them for you.
