Somebody let it out of its cage, so I figured I'd leave a little heads-up for anyone who may have been unaware.

What do you think about modding? We should explore and utilize all useful.

MODDERS! Hob has been released and I have an extractor for the PAK file! Go to town and let's figure out how to mod this bad boy! http://www.runicgamesfansite.com/mod_downloads/tools/download-1521-hobs-pak-extractor.html

That looks like a greenlight to me!

@Vkoslak yes youre right - the .MDL models i was asking about are from Hob!

I think this is some kind of modified OGRE mesh models.

Just give me the utility.

Oh man, this sounds exciting! But first I have to get some time to actually play the game!

Kva3imoda · « **Reply #9 on:** September 30, 2017, 07:20:20 AM »

I spent 20 minutes trying to download this damn utility using this ModDrop program, I failed. I see that ModDrop is cool, but I hate it.
PJ please give me Hob's Pak Extractor utility I wait so long.

Hi everyone,
Just finished Hob recently, and I was thinking it'd be cool to mod the game so that enemies respawn somehow, either after a series of other zones are visited (like TL2) or after a period of time. I know it's been said that we'll probably only be able to do cosmetic stuff, but I'm forever the optimist!

Out of curiosity I decided to see what I could find in the pak files even I know we haven't worked out how to repack it yet. Again being an optimist

Has anyone noticed random jarbled letters etc when trying to edit the unpacked .dat files? Maybe it's my version of notepad?
I get this kind of stuff throughout all of them:
’7 3# ’7 i= ’7 /? ’7 o@ ’7 %< ’7 ‚= ’7 ü ’7 ì ’7 ¥< ’7 F q’7
@ p’7 s’7 ë" r’7 < Éºq ¹c×m È ¼Á É ‘¼Á Ì ’¼Á é" “¼Á è

Or has it not unpacked properly? hmmm $:-\$ ...
There are some .dat files in the hob folder that can already be read fine.
