Good job dude !!

Hey everyone, I've been following this community for quite a while but I've not been really active until now. I wanted to share some progress I've been making ripping models from the original trilogy games.

The Replanetizer guys have been doing god's work making improvements and it's now essentially possible to rip every single model from the HD versions of the original PS2 games. Until recently certain enemies with separate armor pieces (called 'bangles') couldn't be ripped properly, but recent updates have now made that possible, that means full enemy, character and weapon meshes, with rigged armatures and even animations!

Since Going Commando is my favourite game in the series I thought I'd make a start there, so as of today every single remaining enemy model has been ripped and is waiting approval in the submission queue. I'm gonna follow this up with all the UYA enemy models alongside V1-4 weapons with all their upgrade attachments. Then I'll move onto Deadlocked's weapons and enemies, although I've noticed some weirdness with a few enemy textures in deadlocked so they may take a bit more time.

One thing I've noticed going through the files is the amount of unused content that's never been seen before, Going Commando has armoured versions of the Thug Brute from Maktar Resort and Y.E.T.I.s from Grelbin that never featured in game, Todano has a version of the Megacorp Trooper with blue highlights instead of the usual yellow. Deadlocked has fully modelled versions of the famously unused third weapon upgrades still in the files that never got used in game.

Looking forward to sharing these all with you in the near future!

I gotchu man

Not even the most simple items are here: boxes!

Finally. I was hoping someone would rip models of the Thugs-4-Less enemies. I wonder if they'll do the Megacorp gladiators next?

So, at the moment only some weapons can be ripped, as the "Weapons" tab in Replanetizer doesn't work for this game or RaC3. However, if you're lucky a weapon will be in a cutscene or just floating around the game files. In other words, the Bouncer can be ripped (already submitted) as can the Lancer and Heavy Lancer. Parts and effects for a lot of weapons are floating around in the game files, (e.g. the spiderbot glove's spiderbots, the Chopper's discs), but sadly can't be completely ripped at this time.

Would love to chat with the Ratchet Modding Community about this if someone has a discord link.
