Blacksmith

Blacksmith is a tool for viewing, extracting, and converting textures, 3D models, and sounds from Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Assassin's Creed: Origins, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, and Steep.

Note 1: Blacksmith is NOT a repacker. It CANNOT MODIFY, INJECT, NOR REPLACE files.

Note 2: Blacksmith supports ALL VERSIONS (past and latest) of each game

Note 3: I DO NOT CONDONE PIRACY. The program assumes that you have access to the games' files.

➡ Update regarding the repo ⬅

I will no longer be updating the repo with the source code of 1.7 and later. Access to the source code is now a donation perk. I have migrated away from GitHub due to the amount of effort and time I have put into development. Sorry guys.

However, the readme, changelog, and Releases page will still be updated. The repo will stay online and will not be deleted.

You can learn more about donating here.

Remember ARchive_neXt?

Blacksmith tries to serve as a successor to ARchive_neXt, since development has seemingly ceased, and it does not support the two latest Assassin's Creed games nor Steep. I designed the functionality of Blacksmith to be identical to that of ARchive_neXt.

blacksmith's Issues

Stuck on loading DataPC.forge

Only a few AC Valhalla forge files actually load. i have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Most Files are unviewable

I recently got Blacksmith to look into the files for Odyssey that I have on Steam, but the vast majority of the files won't let me actually view them. The DLC pathes with paths of steamapps\common\Assassins Creed Odyssey\DataPC_##_dlc_patch_01.forge all work fine, letting me view the models, textures, tables, etc. inside (mostly), and having the various LOD models nested in their respective LOD selector. However, some files, plus every other file outside those patches, doesn't let me view any of them, shows everything with an expand icon that just disappears, LODs aren't nested together, attempting to open a file that has been extracted (.acod type for example) just causes an unhandled exception.

To note, the file info at the bottom of the program window correctly states the type of file, yet the right-click menu shows all of the unviewable files as being Datafiles.

I have tried reinstalling, that didn't help.

Error message I recieved when trying to open a file

Additionally, the Queue, Find, and just about every other second window the program will open remain blank and non-existent.

Encrypted Localization files to a readable text!

"Assassin's Creed Odyssey/DataPC.forge/LocalizationPackage_English_Subtitles" - Please, the tool only extract these files in ".dat/.acod" types?!

Just Dance 3 Support

The game uses a very similar engine. Take a look if you feel like it.

[feature] does it support animations export?

[Question] Support of other games ?

What about other old games like
AC3, AC2, Revelations, Brotherhood and etc.. ?

Immortals Fenyx Rising

Is it possible you can add support for Immortals Fenyx Rising?

Will it support Assassin's Creed II?

ARchive_neXt is great but does not support search by name. So I still hope to be able to open Assassin's Creed II from -Blacksmith-

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege support?

.obj files from Odyssey give error message when imported to Blender.

The error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\io_scene_obj\__init__.py", line 148, in execute
