Duke Nukem Forever 2011 Retail Support about ut4x-converter HOT 5 CLOSED

It's not just "basically" the same as the 2001 version, it's heavily modified engine version.
UT converter uses either ucc.exe or umodel (ueviewer) to extract ressource (textures, staticmeshes, ...)

• ucc.exe is not present (normally in /System folder for 'normal' ue1/ue2 games) and umodel does not support Duke Nukem because as the program maker said it's too modified. (https://www.gildor.org/smf/index.php?topic=893.msg7510#msg7510)

• Also the textures and staticmeshes are in some unknown packed ".dat" files.

DNF2011 will not be supported.

We can extract the game models and textures using the software Noesis

Also DNF2001 ucc.exe works for DNF2011 as far as i'm concerned, could be wrong though

Would it be possible to at least have a .T3D into UE4 map format containing just placeholder references containing actor name/staticmesh name+location+rotation+scale?

from ut4x-converter.

You can try :

• Convert the .t3d (retrieved opening map from DNF editor - note: i haven't tried) and use UT Converter with this .t3d file
• Convert the .dnf map file using UT converter but 99.99% sure won't work.
  For both case in advanced conversion settings, uncheck 'convert textures/sounds/staticmeshes' and try set DNF2011 folder as UT2004 folder in settings (do not use DNF (2001) it's for Unreal Engine 1)

As said earlier, i do not plan at all to spend time for DNF2011 so good luck with it.

Unfortunatetly it does not seem to write any files, just creates empty folder.

It's definietly doable, as T3D is just a text format, and one could make a basic parser to make that data paste-able into UE4.
I understand if you have no interest in it.
