Error Opening Uasset File in UassetsGUI Due to ZenLoader Format

[cinder ember]

I´m started learning about modding p3r but when I try to open a uasset file with UassetsGUI, this error appears. What am I doing wrong?

[open walrus]

you need to use Zentools-UE4 to "uncook" packages to the more traditional format

P3R uses the IOStore format in it's uassets but a lot of tools including Uasset GUI can only work with the older PAK only format

So you can use Zentool-UE4 to convert P3R's IOSTORE files to a PAK only format which these tools can work with

i see

i just downloaded it but idk how to use it

[open walrus]

look at the github

https://github.com/WistfulHopes/ZenTools-UE4

{
  "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000": "DEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEAD"
}

Make a json file with this

BUT

replace ```
DEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEAD

[cinder ember]

aah

[open walrus]

other parts are self explainatory

[cinder ember]

{
  "DEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEADBEEFCAFEDEAD"
}

like this?

[open walrus]

no im saying u need to keep the 0000...

[cinder ember]

ah ok

[open walrus]

just replace that text specifically with the P3R AES KEY

just be sure to remove the 0x from the beginning of the AES key

[cinder ember]

where do i have to use the "ZenTools ExtractPackages <ContainerFolderPath> <ExtractionDir> [-EncryptionKeys=<KeyFile>] [-PackageFilter=<Package/Path/Filter>]?

[open walrus]

Wherever u extract ur Zentools.exe

[cinder ember]

nevermind im just dumb xd

thank you so much

Zentools shows this before closing

[open walrus]

@cinder ember what command did you enter

[cinder ember]

i didnt

[open walrus]

you are not supposed to double click the exe

u are supposed to use command prompt or windows terminal (powershell) to supply it with a command

an example is on the github site

[cinder ember]

ahh

and what does [-PackageFilter=<Package/Path/Filter>] mean

[open walrus]

it's listed on the repo page?

[cinder ember]

now powershell doesnt recognize zentools

[open walrus]

what's the exact error

did u add a ./ before the command

that is required to run it in powershell

[cinder ember]

yes

doesnt work

[open walrus]

what's the error

@cinder ember

[cinder ember]

(the term ´Zentools.exe´ isnt recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script archive or executable program)

[open walrus]

oh u aren't running the command from the location where u extracted Zentools

run cd "path to zentools.exe here"

[cinder ember]

what do you mean?

im a bit confused

[open walrus]

did u download Zentools?

[cinder ember]

yes

[open walrus]

and extract it?

[cinder ember]

yes

[open walrus]

before running the command u need to set the path to where u extracted it in powershell

run cd "pathtoextractedfolder"

then the command u just ran

[cinder ember]

ill download other version

[open walrus]

u did download Zentools-UE4 by Wistful Hopes right?

[open walrus]

.

[cinder ember]

yep

[open walrus]

and u extracted it to a folder?

just copy the path to that folder

[cinder ember]

what version do you reccomend me to download

[open walrus]

make sure it contains zentools.exe

https://github.com/WistfulHopes/ZenTools-UE4/releases/tag/ue4-1.0.3

[cinder ember]

i can download the exe or the source code

[open walrus]

exe

u are never supposed to download the source code on github

download both the exe and pdb to a folder

sorry i told u to extract it, i remembered it being published as a zip

[cinder ember]

dont worry

[cinder ember]

done

[open walrus]

just run cd "path to folder"

then the command u ran earlier

[cinder ember]

finally

i had to rename it

[cinder ember]

./Zentools.exe ExtractPackages "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\P3R\P3R\Content\Paks" "C:\Users\borri\Desktop\P3Rkey\saved assets" -EncryptionKeys="C:\Users\borri\Desktop\P3Rkey\key\key.json" -PackageFilter=P3R/Content/Xrd777/UI/Tables

please tell me its not corrupted or something

[open walrus]

maybe try removing P3R from the package filter path

this is a pretty unique error

[cinder ember]

i swear every time i try to do something new i have an unexplicable or ridiculous problem

maybe i wrote something wrong

a " or something

[open walrus]

Unlikely

But I don’t know what this error is

[cinder ember]

@open walrus do you usually use Zentools for modding?

maybe if you give me an example of how you do it i may find an error

[open walrus]

I have used it but it’s been a while because I dumped the whole game at once
