Silent Hill 2 Remake Modding

[Nuverotic]

Just tried Umodel and UnrealPak.exe to get textures out of the game and am having some trouble. Anyone break into the game yet? I know people over on the modding site I refuse to name have, but I thought I'd ask here first. Maybe we can get some tips or a thread started about modding Silent Hill 2.

Figured it out. Mod coming soon.

I finally got Fmodel to work. Took me a couple days to find out I needed the QA Tester version of it to get the files from SH2 Remake. You also need the usmap file. You should be able to find that on Google. I did anyway.
So getting the files out after that was no problem. Just keep in mind the files are NOT in the .PAK, they're actually in the .UTOC. Other than that, easy mode. But getting them repak'd properly, that I have no clue and still haven't figured out. UnrealPak.exe isn't working. I just don't know why. ChatGPT is absolutely no help and runs me in circles. I'll give it the error and it'll say "Try this". I do that and it gives me the same error. It'll say "Try this" and tell me to do the exact same thing... And that continues forever. No matter how I query it or how many times I tell it to use Google, it has no idea.
