I’ve no idea where to put this, I have a costume project I’m interested in starting but I require some references in the AoM expansion and I’ve had no luck trying to extract the assets. I have both AoM and the Crucible, if that makes any difference.
Besides if anyone knows where I can grab some concept art for future reference that’d be super.
What do you mean you had no luck ? You extract them the same way you extract the vanilla meshes, the difference is that they are in different .arc files.
Going by Steam (but the same is true for GOG, except that the base dir changes), you find vanilla in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn\database
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn\resources
and AoM in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn\gdx1\database
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn\gdx1\resources
I mean, I tried to run the extractor on those paths and it just kinda goes through the process and outputs nothing, I’m worried there is folder somewhere just eating gigs of space now that I’ve run it so much.
I would also settle for being able to see DLC equipment in the Viewer, but I’ve not been able to have it pick anything but vanilla assets.
Chances are that if you find nothing, it did nothing. The archivetool is notoriously finnicky.
Extracting .ARZ:
archivetool “<full source path>\database.arz” -database “<full target path>”
Extracting .ARC:
archivetool “<full source path>\Items.arc” -extract “<full target path>”
I assume the viewer would show the armor, if you extracted it. Did you set the extra directories for the expansion in Asset Manager ?

Aha, I’ll try this and see if it works. Thanks!
Edit* Worked great! Now I just need to figure out how to open the model files in Blender. Having them in the Viewer was a big step forwards though!
