Full disclosure, I've never played Fortnite, but I port to SFM for someone who makes animations, and I offered to try out ripping myself because our middleman was too busy. Anyway! They want me to rip the Lavish Lair set from Chapter 28 (I think) And a friend of theirs said I needed to somehow mount an older build of fortnite to the porting process (The v28 ones, they said specifically: https://github.com/llamaqwerty/fortnite-builds-archive?tab=readme-ov-file#season-28)

(I tried extracting and dragging the contents into the main Fortnite filepath but it prevents the ripping program from accessing the contents)

I found the Maps tab but there were only two options, and it doesn't look like these are the ones I want, were they on the right track? How do I access older maps through the FortnitePorting program?

you have to use custom install mode with the paks/files, aes keys, mappings, and unreal version for season 28

#

there is a guide pinned in #lounge I believe

Thank you, I tried that before but I missed the part with the keys, though I'm pretty sure I still messed up here

#

it took a second to load the pages but they're still blank

https://fortnitecentral.genxgames.gg/api/v1/mappings?version=12.34 checked the page for the mapping file under the pinned message

#

also the ue version for season 28 seems like it's supposed to be 5.4, but this only goes as lo as 5.6 (Unless I've been misreading)

Thank you! (Sorry the scroll doesn't seem to be working in the UE version menu, thought it was the full list)

mmmm getting closer I think

So I gave it another try with the new update and I'm still getting the same error, also forgot to mention that I scrolled through the list and the chapter (28) didn't have its UE version listed, so I tried it with UE5_4 and UE5_5 and I got the same result
