Usage

• Open the program and click the Load Game button on the bottom right.
• Select your game install folder (e.g. "C:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Battlefield 3").
• Wait for all assets to load, then select the assets you wish to export and hit "Export Selection".
• If you wish to extract unsupported asset types, go to the Settings tab and enable Raw Export.

Exporting Skinned Meshes/Animations

• Select and export the SkeletonAsset you want to use
• Export the Mesh/Animation you want to export

Notes

• Exporting animations is slow because the tool has to do a reverse lookup to find some assets needed to resolve channel names.
• Loading a game can take some time because all asset types need to be resolved prior to export

CLI

IceBloc also comes with a (basic) console tool if you prefer to use that over the UI.

These commands are available:

• load game <path> Loads all game files.
• load file <path> Loads a single file.
• dump <ResType> <path> Dumps all contents of a raw file to a text file.
• setgame <name> Manually override the current game (See Settings.cs for valid names).
• hash <string> Returns a FNV1 hash from any given string
• select <name> Select an asset for export
• export Export the selection

TODO

• Support Patch/DLCs
• Support NonCas bundles (e.g. voice lines in BF3)

Build dependencies

• NET 7.0
