Extracting game files - Stellar-Blade-Modding-Team/Stellar-Blade-Modding-Guide GitHub Wiki
Important
We will mainly use Fmodel for model extraction with it's .uemodel format, since the extracted models from it supports fixes for serval known bugs during import while Umodel extraction gives neck seams by incorrect bone positions. We also use Fmodel for inpsecting asset details later on so definitely have it installed.
• FModel
• AES key: Not Required.
• Mapping file (.usmap): Full released Usmap
Tip
Skip this step for Stellar blade since the game doesn't requires it for Fmodel.
Launch Fmodel on your device.
Click Directory > AES
Copy the Key in the Main static key bar.
Click Setting > General
Archive Directory : Your game file location. example*D:\Steam\steamapps\common\StellarBladeDemo

Local Mapping file : Enable the option by click in the box.
Mapping File Path : Locate it to where the usmap file is stored on your device.
Click Setting > Model
Model Export Directory: make it default or relocate it to where you find it best.
Mesh Format: Recommended to use .uemodel as extracted format.
Texture format: TGA
Warning
If you select .psk for Mesh Format, you need to select Don't Export Bone Sockets for Socket Format.
Note
If this is your first time launching the app then click ok on the setting menu. Your app should require a restart. If nothing happens it means your fmodel is updated and new setting is applied.
Once app is restarted after setting changes or new launch:

Click the name.utoc folder section
There you can finally browse uassets from the game.

Click Save folder's packages properties (.json) for materials
Go back to step 3 and find where your extracted file are located.
Warning
Make sure your Fmodel is always updated to the latest version to avoid unknown errors.
