How to Unpack .archive Files in Cyberpunk 2077 (Extract Videos, Audio, Textures, Models)

extracting media from cyberpunk [Music] if you looked around with cyberpunk files in archive PC content you saw that everything is in dot archive files and you want to know how to unpack them to for example see videos as videos now the tool you want to use for that is evolvent kit link is in the description of course just download it here get it from the releases page on GitHub that should be the easiest scroll down to assets and here you probably are on Windows right so get that and then just download it and then in here just extract it some cyberpunk okay so in here we have a lot of dll files but we have to we'll just click here and type w and you will be teleported to the W files woven kit you know what I'm going to right click drag this to the parent folder and just make a shortcut there all right so now I can start it from here and yeah run it anyway [Music] okay a bunch of things might pop up first of all it will ask to install a helper tool for checking for updates sure I'm just going to accept that and that was it might take a little longer if you haven't done it yet and then it asks for the game directory now this is how you locate cyberpunk for it to know where the files are and you just have to find the cyberpunk folder and press OK open oh it wants the XZ my bad all right let's go to bin x64 cyberpunk 2077 and then this is basically the export folder but I prefer to use a shorter path for example I created a woven project folder just in D and then let's make another folder called Fallen kit folder for something double click that and select folder okay Finish now I understand you want to extract stuff and not create a project but you need to create a project anyway for some basic functionality apparently so create a new project I know it's not fun but whatever just call the project extract toe and let's pick new folder extracto crudge it'll click that and select the folder and just create it all right it's going to run a little bit until the asset browser is initialized okay it's done oh and the thing is the asset browser the most important thing for extracting stuff is at the bottom and a bit hidden so you have to hover over it or click it no clicking yeah here and then you can pin it a bit bit much so the important things are asset browser down here project browser over here and very important to import export tool open this up it's right here and it's going to go away we're going to get to that later and now hopefully you know what you're looking for with video files we begin well we can go to base and let's see for example video files are in movies and then they are separated into oh fluff sounds good there's ads tutorials and we can just right click and video and preview them for example uh well that was weird okay that was a dummy whoops I opened the dummy video file my bad all right this is an actual video hacking tutorial all right cool that can go away and if we wanted to extract this video or maybe something more fun like uh let's go for burrito X XL well that's not exciting is it whatever let's get this video file let's go to the import export tool Pin It Down so it stays there and I didn't mean to do that let me just hook this up back here okay here we are all right let's drag this in there doesn't work let's add selected items to project now this is where this becomes important because without adding it it doesn't really work so let's add it all right it's over here now okay I guess we don't drag it over here instead we just right click it here and Export bk2 to Avi Let's Go full frames if you want Max quality but probably you want x with mpeg-4 for compression are you done okay let's go oh yeah it's here okay let's go to this folder pressing this yellow icon and here's the avi file now it is possible that this didn't work for you in that case you would have to get to the video the rad video tools which is free and relatively small you'd have to download this user password red weirdly and then install it okay now let's look for some audio files uh for example localization that's where all the dialog is all right let's pick some English us voice over uh thing as a folder is so big it takes a while to load there we are okay let's just right click this it's not a video so we cannot really preview it doesn't even say anything but if we just add it to the project then it appears here on the right so now we can convert these in the import export tool so let's process all and now here in the uh project Explorer there at the bottom In The Raw folder and if we press the yellow folder icon here we can teleport to their location let's listen in celebrate well don't just stand there get a drink with me I think I remember this character and how I killed him audio but when it belongs to a video this was called burrito let's see if we can find Rito audio now we can filter by kind or sort by kind and the thing is there is no wem that's the audio file format used here okay so we're gonna go with the uh add burrito XXL file let's right click that and find files using this and this requires woven kit resources plugin which we need to install uh guess this then continue to editor back here we are let's find files using this Quest phase that's a bit suspicious but okay okay let's try this let's add this to the project try to find it wherever it landed here and let's convert to Json and then yeah open the folder and open the file let's try to search for audio looking for the burrito so here we are burrito XXL and we keep searching that's all there is to it okay good this is this is good now what I don't like is vocene equals default but I think this might mean that the burrito ad does not have audio that would make sense but okay let's focus on something that actually has audio I believe slaughterhouse let's see uh video preview yes I remember that one that one has audio annoying audio but fun audio so let's search for files that use this anyways let's just go over the just adds Quest phase back here all right so slow house okay it's all condensed to this location uh 28 58 28 62. all right so vocene I think would be uh what we're looking for and app add to slaughterhouse let's search for that again let's try to actually get the scene I mean one of them is in base media animated Billboards scenes this one's in base media animate billboard scenes versions gold and actually we can find audio files here using the file name so maybe that's just enough but let's just check the scene edit and see if we can find it so ah here it is and just convert it to Json try to find it at the bottom here somewhere in raw base media gold all right this one is it no WM no audio but we do have these IDs uh one b a a b for example indeed so we can look for lip sync animation name I suppose Maybe I'm finding four yeah and Visa lead us to I guess the uh these files so let's select all these and I think that these are just different languages we will find out in a second let's add them and sort by name here select these and process selected and now they should be in localization so let's check out the journal English ones right 70 real blood dripping meat slaughterhouse satisfy your instincts yeah let's check out the German ones as well slaughterhouse file your diamond instinct potent ashes bloating his flies I really don't get it why each of these lines has such a different sound to it but whatever whatever fun fun all right let's just get some texture let's just get some texture he's dead uh I don't know add let's search for add let's filter Our Kind to uh none except for what is what are textures textures X and B so let's filter by xmb here we are mantis did it say mantis mantis blade um that's not an ad but it does have a D in the word so let's just uh add it and finding it is always a problem isn't it here let's look for blade here it is how do we convert it how do we view it open this file oh never mind it got added to the export import export already we don't need to open it so let's just just click here process selected blade search for blade again and it's over here okay this is super not interesting kind of super not interesting all right instead of that let's look for poster Banner Lizzies you know the drill adds to thing Lizzies and then didn't have to do it I could just go to the exporter tool process selected and search again open this up okay yeah uh seems an earlier seen that in the game all right let's try a 3D model it is time to 3D all right I love Skippy in the game see if we can find maybe the text hello so I guess there is no texture for Skippy it's not called Skippy all right let's look for model mesh uh mesh mesh mesh let's check the mesh storage Skippy no handgun uh yes decal Maybe whatever let's just import all of these uh let's sort what's why is there an error here okay sorting by export task doesn't seem to work um well I can see that these are measures I guess so let's select these and process selected all right let's filter this by Skippy all right looks like we got one two three four five exports good good let's open this here we are okay okay this is nothing nothing this is nothing even more 2D even more 2D than this ah here we are here's Skippy here's the gun but of course it's just the 3D model without the texture I don't know what this is for and this also just flat surface actually let's go to the folder um and open blender and let's just drag it in just kidding blender is not that advanced so we have to go to import G glb g i t f so we're gonna have to paste the path over here and uh it's also top one I think yeah two megabytes as opposed to three kilobytes definitely come on come on come on um yeah let's hide the bone okay cool here's Skippy and let's pray that for you V mapping works yes yes we just need to find the texture so anyways once you've found the mesh file which was in our case I guess this yeah these ones mesh you kind of know the folder which would be archive based weapons Firearms handgun RR Sakai Yuki mura entries measures textures well meshes so if we do go there and archive base motorized weapons weapons firearms handgunura and then entry smashes here we are and then textures then we do get the texture files but uh sure let's just import it all in these ml mask files let's see where the ml mask files here double click those and you can see they have multiple layers which look texture-like and in the import export browser you can sort by name and it's all W handgun stuff selected all can we can we multi-enable no all right whatever I'm just gonna have to click click click and then just process selected refresh this search find them at the bottom here yellow folder thingy and here you have all these Textures in folders because there's multiple layers but unfortunately assembling this into textures will be a task for a different video because every channel apparently is saved individually and you'll have to figure out how to make diffuse Maps out of these for example so weapons firearms and Guns Etc and interface meshes textures all right let's go with this pick the last one well this definitely fits from the areas so that's good image texture right we take this get this put it into base color and here we are with something and then you have to keep making complex shaders I suppose here we have an example showing that off you'll have to read up on that I'm not gonna take care of that right now also there's a way to mass export these archive files let me know if that's interesting to you but for now that's enough I hope this helped at all and until next time ciao see you next time reality Junkies [Music]
