Is there any way to extract .daimod files? DAI Mod Maker is crashing :/

[FinnenH4wke]

EDIT: Oh well, I fixed the below problem (damn, I usually do it after posting a question on forums >.<). The fix was to download an older version of DAI Mod Maker (0.16 instead of 0.19).

I want to convert some of the mods (for my own private usage) from DAI Mod Manager to Frosty. I thought I would be able to extract the contents of .daimod file and then import the extracted files (textures in this case) using Frosty Editor and making a new, Frosty-compatible mod out of it. I have some small experience with Frosty because I was replacing some textures for Andromeda before. However, I have a problem with extracting files from .daimod packages.

 

I downloaded DAI Mod Maker, ran it and imported .daimod with Cassandra textures. I found which files are modified with Bundle Preview option, and then I found these files in main DAI Mod Maker window. I opened the entries responsible for the textures and used "Import/Export > Export" but then DAI Mod Maker crashes. Preview of the modified files also doesn't work (preview option for original assets works fine, I have SlimDX installed on my PC).

 

This is the error I'm getting when I try to export files. The exception message says "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

Am I doing something wrong? Is there even a way to convert the mods from DAI Mod Manager to Frosty by myself? I am not afraid of spending some time on it :wink:
