Extract (without DLC)

• Download the latest AocModelExtractor release.

• Place the .exe in a folder next to your game's romfs folder.

  

• Open the command line in the folder by typing cmd into the path bar.

• From there, type AocModelExtractor.exe .\romfs and press enter.

• Wait for the process to finish. It can take up to an hour.

Extract (with DLC)

• Download the latest AocModelExtractor release.

• Place the .exe in a folder next to your game dump.

  

• Open the command line in the folder by typing cmd into the path bar.

• From there, type AocModelExtractor.exe .\ and press enter.

• Wait for the process to finish. It can take up to an hour.

• Finally, you are given the choice to install Noesis, this will be required to export and view the AoC models.

After Extracting

Once you have extracted the files with the previous step, you will be left with a few new folders. Here's what they all are:

• Cethleann | This folder contains the Cethleann toolset which is used to extract the game files. You can delete it, or save it for future use if you desire.
• Noesis *(only if you allowed the tool to install it at the end) | This folder contains Noesis, a model viewing and extracting program that can open g1m and g1t files (models and textures). This tool is required for the next step.
• romfs *(only if you use the DLC) | This contains the base game merged with the DLCs found in that folder. This can also be safely deleted unless you have furthur use for it.
• extracted-rdb | This folder contains the extracted assets found in AoC. Do not delete this folder.

Export as FBX

• Open Noesis64.exe from the Noesis folder, or your own installed location.

• Go to the Tools menu, and confirm Display Plugin Tools is checked.

• Next go to Tools > Project G1M and make sure the settings there match these:

  

• Once you have confirmed that, go to File > Open File and browse to the merged folder in any one of the subfolders and select a .g1m file to open. Once you have done that, you can use the built-in browser to open more .g1m files easier.

• Find a model you want to export (you can use this sheet to help you), right click the .g1m file in Noesis and click Export. Leave everythign as default (unless you know what you are doing), and click Export.

• Use Noesis to open the export folder in File Explorer, and there you have your textures and FBX model.
