Mass Effect 3 Can maps be extracted?

[LordNyron]

So I have two questions.

 

1) Can ME3Explorer be used to extract maps from any of the Mass Effect games?

 

2) If so, would it come in pieces that would have to be reassembled or as a completed map?

 

I know people who have used ninjaripper for that sort of thing and the maps come in thousands of pieces that have to be manually reassembled. Was hoping it might be possible to extract or convert maps files from the game directly using ME3Explorer and hopefully only have what I need rather than a thousand things I don't need because ninjaripper just rips indiscriminately and in order to get full rooms you have to rip from multiple angles meaning you get a lot of the same files that you have to sort through.

This isn't possible unfortunately. We don't fully understand how levels are stored, however I have made great progress on this front with my Pathfinding Editor which also can be used to do basic edits to maps like placements of objects. Obviously this isn't exporting for use in other tools (like a machinma)... I don't think we'll ever actually get there.
