Extracting Resources
In order to create mods, you will need to have the game's resources extracted into the various files that can be edited. Resources are divided by levels or general categories. They will be sorted into folders when extracted.
Extraction Tools:
EternalResourceExtractor by PowerBall253 - Download
Command-line tool. Exports everything, but textures/models are exported as "headers" only - not for texture mods.
CMD Syntax: EternalResourceExtractor.exe [path to .resources file] [out path] [options]
[Documentation & Source Code]
SAMUEL Asset Extraction Tool by SamPT - Download
GUI tool. Exports textures, .decls, and .entities files.
[Documentation & Source Code]
VEGA by DTZxPorter - Download
GUI tool. Exports textures and models. Preferred tool for texture modding.
Make sure you have enough disk space when extracting resources. As of Game Update 6.3, EternalResourceExtractor requires 17.4 GB of free space to extract everything. SAMUEL or VEGA require even more space, since they export full-size images. If using those tools, you should only export the textures you need.
List of Resources:

There are folders with "_patch_#" appended at the end and they contain overriding files for their parent folder.
The patch number does not always mean it has a high priority because DOOM Eternal often changes the priorities with each update.
