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:

Make sure you have enough disk space when extracting resources. ItAs canof beGame veryUpdate large6.3, ifEternalResourceExtractor 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 planshould ononly extractingexport everything.the textures you need.
