Converting DUST

This game was shut fown in 2016 and i'm still pretty attached to it, I was wondering if its possible to (No, not game save files) get the actual game files and go through them on a PC using the appropriate hardware (it was made with UE3, so maybe i'd start there?) essentially I want to take out a few things like the models used in said game, if not try makong it startable from ANY platform, just so I can remember it... And maybe, maybe send in the converted files to CCP so they do something about it.

Likely a long shot but even if they don't respond, the maps, vehicles and dropsuits / weapons woupd all be of assistance to a few peoppe currently working on a replacement for said game.

Are you serious?

Dust was a crappy version of MAG

This, i dunno why they didn't make it for PC either aka their main (only) audience.

Wow I forgot this game existed. What a massive disappointment.

Oh wow another dust bunny. iirc the CCP Shanghai office was doing something but it's been a while since the last update.
Either way don't get your hopes up.

Because Slant 6 pigeonholed Zipper into fixing the Socom series that they ruined and in turn Sony shut down Zipper instead of Slant 6 and they went one to ruin Resident evil some more and then finally die.

The second Beta of MAG is what killed it for me.
Fucking 10 foot knives.

CCP is already working on a pc variant of it. Expect it's release fucking never.

you have concentrated autism user

the game isnt that fucking good

Yep, while I don't expect anything from Shanghai or Iceland (forgot the studio name, something like rekyavek or similiar) I just want the models and maps to send to Saxonamish... Last time I saw from him he was working on something to replace it, and I would guess that having the maps (and by extension, models) of things inside the map would help a lot.

I used to be in Nyain San, as one of the few americans in the group... It was sad when the directors left.

I never said it was good, but it definitely was a shitload of fun for me while it lasted. I always wanted a PS4 port, but the assholes never did it... R at least they could have done something about the graphics causing such FPS issues even on a new PS3 with an SSD, it was kinda like one of those love hate things.

>Nyan San
Suddenly everything makes sense. Sax dropped off the face of the earth around September, and his gofundme pretty much failed. I know you guys loved the game but it's gone dude.

Well shit. Still want a few of the models nonetheless, and toying around game files is a fun endeavor...at least I can waste time doing something.

Still one of my favorite trailers.

Your best bet would be to ask around on emulation or homebrew sites. Maybe the rpcs3 team could point you in the right direction.

Damn I played the shit out of this game, surprised to see a thread on Sup Forums about it.

Just wait for Project Nova user, it has all of Dust's assets but in full resolution. It definitely wont be cancelled this time for sure.

But you know what, let me do you a solid. CCP is hiring for Project Nova. It's not much but at least you can have some hope.

Yeah if they've gotten to the point where they're prepping for a legitimate marketing campaign then there's at least hope.

Just play PlanetSide2, dude.

I doubt they encrypted assets on consoles so you likely can extract models, textures, sounds and animations but to do that you have to move the files to PC and have to figure out how the developers compressed them. If the file extension doesn't hint at it you'd need a hex editor and have to look at the early bytes of the file(s) or use a tool like signsrch/immSignSrch and hope it recognizes the algorithm.

That's what I was expecting to do, something like this. I know there's tons that could be done... As for (Project Nova) I hope they make it so that people can submit new maps for play, and when it is out for pc the files will be easy to run through... I just hope that they don't make it a 'on foot' only FPS, i liked it with the vehicles and wide open maps.

I do, but it isn't as fun. I loved tweaking woth modules and such on dropsuits, then when the myofibs? Gave jumping bonuses, I loaded up logi bpo suits and scouts to the brim to sail around in the air with a mass driver raining death onto newberries.

did you just have a stroke?

Talking about Dust modules for dropsuits, ccp made some grave but ridiculously fun mistakes and adding a jump height bonus to one of the modules was one of them... Five modules on one suit used to make you jump like 40 meters into the air.

thought you were talking about planetside.

Anyway, I feel ya man. I too had hope for dust.
