Ripping Tutorials

Asset unpacking

Tornado Outbreak's .bgw files can be extracted, unpacked, and repacked using SamuraiOndo's bgw unpacker/repacker.

Model Ripping

Models in Tornado Outbreak can be extracted with the .bgw unpacker and repacker and converted into the .fbx format via GrannyExporter. To prevent the viewer from throwing a CRC check failed, the first 20 bytes of the model must be removed.

Audio

With the exception of the Xbox 360's audio files, Tornado Outbreak utilizes Wwise Encoded Media (.wem) files with the .wav extension. Renaming them back to their original format (.wem) and using vgmstream can allow one to convert the files back into the wav format.

Note

  • The game uses ZLIB compression and runs on a heavily modified version of the Granny 3D engine, an engine developed by RAD Game Tools.
