Sonic Shuffle stuff.

Well, if anyone ever looked inside of Sonic Shuffle, for textures, or models, you know that there are no character textures there. Well I found that the textures are standard .PVM and models are standard .NJ files. Everything is just put inside of the .MDL files.


All you need to do if you want to rip anything from them, is open them in a hexeditor, find a pvm header(PVMH) copy from there, until right before the header of the next .PVM, copypasta it into a blank file save, and you can decompress the file with any normal .PVM decompressor.

For models you do the same thing, you just find their header, and copypasta the model into a blank file, and you can make an .obj file with Kryslin's converter, found on X-CulT.



The end result is perfectly ripped models and textures.

That's what's there. No notable header to me.


Nothing there corresponds to the amount of files in there or anything.

There's a few 0A which is how many models are in there, but nothing for the textures that I can find. It's also not constant between files. It ranges anywere from 1 byte to like 80 bytes of crap like that, even when files are near the same size.

Ah ok.

In before Shadow hack.

Also, nice work. Now if only that art of him (Super Sonic) from the game was stored in there.

Do you mean the unlockable art? Because it is in here, I just didn't rip it.

There's quite a few MDL files with no models in them, only textures.

 

Well, it would be nice to know.

But what do you mean faster? I can get all the textures and models out within 30 seconds ussually.
