ed8pkg2glb

Converts model data and texture data contained in ED8 .pkg files to GLTF binary format and/or PNG binary format.

Modding help and resources

See Trails Research Group for more resources to assist in modding the game.

Usage

First, download and extract the Win32 version.
Afterwards, drag and drop a single .pkg file onto the executable ed8pkg2glb.exe.
.glb or (not and) .png files will be output in the same directory as .pkg.

Output file information

The .glb file can be imported in Blender.
Compatibility with other applications is not guaranteed due to the output file not completely adhering to the GLTF specification.
Due to the fact that the game uses shaders for manipulating the pixel output, the output result may not look exactly as in the game, and not all textures will be mapped to glTF materials.

The .png file is always output in compressed RGBA format. It is loadable in Blender without any conversion needed.
