Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

[xaliqen]

They've already told me in PM that there will not be an SDK. They said they "might" help with helping with unpacking files or whatever else might help in people working it all out themselves, but that's unlikely. But definitely no tools.

 

That's really too bad, because the post on their forums did get my hopes up a bit.

 

Ah well, thanks for the updated info! I hope the devs have a chance to change their minds, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. :unsure:

Name: Opening and Extracting the .big Files

Author: Nick

Download: No Download

Tutorial:

So you want to open the .big files do you? Well only proceed with doing so if you either know what you are doing, or are willing to reinstall the game if you screw up.

 

Step 1:

You need to download the following utility:

FinalBig

 

Step 2:

Unzip the FinalBig zip

 

Step 3:

Open the FinalBIG.exe program from the unzipped folder

 

Step 4:

Go File Open. Select the .big file you wish to open.

 

You've now opened your .big file. Continue on if you wish to know how to extract.

 

Step 5:

Go Edit, Extract All.

 

Step 6:

Select a folder you wish the files to go into and hit OK.

 

The files are now extracted and ready for you to modify.

 

 

if you can open it mostly like you can mod it as well you can make skin mods

hehe. FinalBIG won't work. Grab quickbms and the required script.

 

http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm <Program

http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?p=65576#p65576 < script, just create a text file and paste the code in

 

With this script you won't be able to extract BigFile_0000.big's but the others you can. The texture files are in /bigs/001/BigFile_0004.big and BigFile_0005.big.

 

I'm having trouble opening the resulting dds files though, none of the programs i'm using will open them correctly :sad:

that one big step modding the game. now just need to find program and programmer that know how to open the DDS files. what about the 3d model files

 

my dream is get Final Fantasy 7 weapon and some kingdom heart weapon in this game XD

copied this post i used somewhere else. but added since i had more time with the game.

 

i dont know why everyone says this game has awesome combat maybe i hate action games but pressing X,X,X,X,X,X,X,X,X,X,block,X,X, quicktime event which you have to press X 30 more times(not joking) isnt awesome combat. its also borrows awful cameras action games are known for, blind spots everywhere. but combat has grown on me, that and i got to higher levels it becomes more enjoyable. now im pressing Y sometimes!!!!

 

strangely merchants are finite. they will NOT restock items what so ever. all lockpicks, all potions, all item from merchants are finite. its annoying as hell to me. after i buy everything in a town, it becomes useless for the rest of the game. still annoys the hell out of me

 

i dont like the art style of the game, it was ripped off from world of warcraft. the dungeons are dull and reused a lot. worst when you kill the thing at the end of the dungeon you have walk all the way back. there is no quick way at the end of most dungeons. im been to im guessing 45% of the world map and it feel like ive been here before as i played WoW for 3 years. so im still not a fan of the world.

 

i do like the crafting and the leveling. spending points on abilities, talent trees and destines. building your character is prply the best part about this game.

 

i do like the game, i dont think ill replay it with another character as you can switch builds anytime you want.

 

edit:played on PC with a 360 controller, also the camera is bad in this game like most action games.

if you use motionjoy on ps3 controller change the layout the camera work find

 

just put the weapon attack button on the right trigger, left trigger put the dodge and block

 

 

then replace L3 button for 4 skill slot

then replace R3 with sprint

 

then you have full controller of the camera because your figure not on the button pad no more
