Hi all!
I have extracted the W3D files using finalBig and I have some questions. Namely, as I can't imagine this hasn't come up before, if anyone has any kind of directory dictating where files might live? I.e. GB- Gondor Buildings, etc. I can't for the life of me find Arnor/Fornost building files.

Secondly I'm using Blender with OpenSage to import these files and while most are good, some of them have issues with the textures. I looked at the paths and found that a bunch of texture .DDS files are just basically purple screens. Is there any kind of known FinalBIG extraction error that could corrupt or otherwise mess up the texture files?

Hi,

If the unit/building is defined and have a ini file, just look there for the model name. For arnor, the models should start 'gu'.

Did you tried OS Big Editor instead of FinalBig? https://www.the3rdag...item-22?addview

I didn't experienced a problem like you did but could be indeed extraction problem. Did you tried to open it in Photoshop?
