Zhoken Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Heya all, I'm trying to figure out how to extract .daimod files and can't for the life of me. I've got DAI TOOLS but I'm at a loss as to how to extract an already created daimod. I'd appreciate if someone could enlighten me. I'd like to have a look at how some of the mods I use were made. Thanks a bunch! Edit: Just to clarify, I'd like to mess around with some of the mods I use for my own personal game. I have no intention of plagiarizing any modder's works. I know just how much time and effort goes into creating mods ;) -Z. Edited August 26, 2015 by Zhoken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSie Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'm also trying to do this in order to look at complexions and such. Did you have any luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john2nd Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm trying to find this out as well. I just started to look into it. I'll let you know if I find anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscrawl Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I've learned a lot this way, myself. You don't extract the daimod itself, but you can look at the changes and extract those changed components the same as you would any other of the game assets with the tools. Open up the tools and import the daimod of your choice. File > Import.To look at the changed files, go to Tools > Bundle Preview. In the dropdown list, select 'Show only Modified.' Also tick the box on the right for 'Show only Modified.' On the left, select the bundle you want to look at, and then you can see which files are changed by that particular mod on the right, such as textures etc. You can then compare with the default version of the files. Also, don't forget to look at the DAITools forum for tutorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john2nd Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yeah, that's the technique I discovered as well. I contacted Daimodder or the "Word of Mod" and they said, "It is possible. You can ‘Open’ any daimod file, and then you just need to go to the file that was changed and export the texture/EBX/whatever. It’s quite simple, actually." Unfortunately, either I'm incompetent or it doesn't seem to be working right now. I get a crash and error message... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscrawl Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 If you are looking for images, use Mod Maker 16 or 17. Images are borked with 18 and 19. For ebx, use 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john2nd Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Version 16 did the trick. Thanks Nightscrawl, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nianiouchka Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hey, how do you get previous versions of the Mod Maker now, please ? I can't find any links, only the DAI Tools Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscrawl Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 They are available here. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcrstfallenstrx Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I know this is a really old topic, but can someone point me towards a tutorial for this because everything just says 'well go ahead and export' except no matter what version of mod maker I'm using I can only export ebx and .bin, and nothing I've seen says anything about bin files. I just want to update some some abandoned mods (for personal use) to frosty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
