Unpack .DAT lithtech files
Unpack .DAT lithtech files + Oil Reg Map Model
I already create plugin for it lithtech .DAT files " it shows you maps models only "
I want to make TUT because i know that most of you want to know .
i ask a lot before just to get maps models not for hacking , But no one helped me so i decided to make it by my self
Before i make the TUT just please leave comments and approve from admin or mod
i unpack oilreg map just as PROVE you can download it in attachments ( .obj file )
i know how to texture it easier too just please give me the first push to start because i'm too lazy xD

i use Blend for show you obj
your taking the long way around when your extracting as obj and not keeping the textures applied
there's 2 methods that would save you time from re-texturing.
1.) Take the source code for the World Packer (which takes the world LTA and converts to DAT) and reverse it to make a DAT - LTA converter. This would hold textures, spawn points, game start points, triggers etc. and it could be used for hacking
2.) if your doing it for video, rather than making a LTA decompiler, convert the DAT files to the same file format as CS:S

Can You Please just Tell Me How To Extract DAT not as 3D only ...

Code:
Psuedo Code:
While there is still data to read:
Read data string.
Determine what data has been read.
Process data in relation to what it is.
Process the data as a whole.
While there is data that has not been exported:
export out converted data string.
End program.
