Blacksmith

A program for viewing, extracting, and converting (textures, 3D models, and sounds) from Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Assassin's Creed: Origins, and Steep. It is in early stages, and this repo will be updated constantly with additional support.

Note: Blacksmith is NOT a repacker.

Another note: Blacksmith supports ALL VERSIONS (past, latest, and future versions) of each game

Remember ARchive_neXt?

Blacksmith tries to serve as a successor to ARchive_neXt, since development has seemingly ceased, and it does not support the two latest Assassin's Creed games or Steep. I designed the functionality of Blacksmith to be identical to that of ARchive_neXt.

Supported Games

PC versions of:

• Assassin's Creed: Odyssey
• Assassin's Creed: Origins
• Steep

Functionality

• The main features are viewing and extraction of:
  • .forge files
  • 3D models (conversion to: .obj)
  • textures (conversion to: .bmp, .dds, .png, .tga)
  • sounds (conversion to .ogg)
• Also:
  • extraction of sounds and soundbanks from .pck files
  • creation of filelists from .forge files
  • extraction of all entries from .forge files

First Time Setup

1. Download the latest version from below.
2. Upon opening Blacksmith, click Settings and set the Game Paths and Temporary Path.

Usage

1. After setting the game paths, click the plus icon next to a game (on the left) to see all of the game's files.
2. Click the plus icon next to a .forge and wait to see all of the .forge's entries.
3. Click the plus icon next to a .forge entry to see all subentries.

Doing this will extract and decompress that entry. The result is a .acod, .acor, or .stp file found in the Temporary Path with the same name.

If there is a TEXTURE_MAP or MESH subentry, Blacksmith will try to load these in either the 3D Viewer, Image Viewer, or Text Viewer.
