Re: Mech Extractor
Download this and you can extract from the PRJ files.

Re: Mech Extractor
nope, sorry, this is the only thing that extracts from the PRJ properly.

Re: Mech Extractor
Good luck.
MechVM should be able to help you with most steps required to refine the mech geometry:
1. Extract models
2. Convert mech parts to .OBJ format
3. Reassemble and display mechs
4. Insert converted mechs back into the PRJ
However, converting .OBJ files back to MW2's format is not yet implemented.
The same goes for changing textures. If you need anything, just contact me.
I'll be glad to help if you have any questions.

Re: Mech Extractor
i hate to break it to ya, but you cannot add mechs to netmech... unless your doing it the way skyfaller is doing it and starting from scratch.
You can replace mechs in netmech, but adding mechs is hard coded; many have tried in the past all have failed.
Mercenaries on the other hand you can add mechs in a way.. NAIS did it, but mercs is dead now a days.

Re: Mech Extractor
both are hard coded... 
I think if you wish to add mechs to mercenaries you may have a better chance.. especially after you study NAIS's hex edits for a while.
It is not easy to do, alot of trial and error.
