Would anyone happen to know how I could obtain renders of the UI graphics? By that I mean things like the Tackler symbol or the EMP symbol that you see on your UI during a game, alone and with a transparent background. Simply taking screenshots of them in the game and trying to cut them out is far too messy. I found what appears to be the archive for these graphics in the game files (ui_graphics.pak), but I’ve tried everything and can’t seem to open the file. Are there any clean renders out there, or at least some way to open these .pak files?
You really don’t want to open .pak files, but have you tried google?
Of course I have. I found various tools and methods but, as I said, I’ve tried everything and nothing works.
That’s because given tool online are made for sepecified .pak files, but none of them had SCon in mind, as this game have not got enough attention for anyone to make such tools yet. There have been some topick about this before, but as far as I’v seen players have yet to find an easy way to extract content of pak files. One reason why devs keep them sealed away from community is to avoid potential hacks, for example making asteroid transperent(that is wallhack, but imo pretty useless in this game) or stuff like that. But then again thous who really want to do and have knowledge on the field, can probably still do it anyway.
