ltb-to-obj :: Simple braindead model ripping tool for CrossFire/Combat Arms/Lithtech

[luawtf]

ltb-to-obj
Convert Lithtech .LTB model files into Wavefront .OBJ files.

Got an old Lithtech game? Maybe something more recent? Some nerd from MPGH who wants Combat Arms/Crossfire models?
Use ltb-to-obj.exe!

This tool allows you to convert Lithtech models in .LTB or .LTA formats into .OBJ files which can be used with almost any 3D modeling software on Earth.
It currently supports:

• Exporting vertices
• Keeping normals intact
• Exporting UV coordinates
• Exporting files on a shape-by-shape basis (no splitting up models manually)
• Support for both .LTA and .LTB through Model_Unpacker.exe

Bone/animation support is in progress and you can export bone/animation data with the --json-bones switch.

Massive thanks to @y41161882 who made the fantastic Model_Unpacker.exe converter! It is bundled in with ltb-to-obj.exe and powers its internal LTB-reading code.

I tried, it is good.

@luawtf sorry to bother, but would you know where I could find crossfire .rez extraction tools that work?
It seems that my old extraction tools and Rez explorer 1.1 no longer work and damage files while extracting them.

Hello everyone. How to use ltb-to-obj? It seems to have created an OBJ file, but for some reason the file is empty.

Hi folks. I'm using Windows 10 and whenever I try to open the program, it immediately closes. Any tips?
