does anyone else have GIMs EVO working for 3dsmax 2019? maybe we can look and see what's different?

I installed GIMs EVO and update patch so it can work with my 3DSMax 2019. I extracted the materials.dat and materialfx.dat into a folder and told it the directory of said folder when prompted by the plugin. Then, once the GIMs EVO plugin pop up window shows up...its black...solid black. WHAT DO I DO!?

@ArmaniAdnr i exported the open format files (.odr) from open IV. when searching on how to convert it to an .obj. the only thing i found claiming to convert it directly (as opposed to converting it to a 3ds file first) was a guy on some gtav thread. he linked the python script i mentioned earlier. this is where I downloaded it from.

I have the open format files... the only thing i can find on the subject is a python script. here https://github.com/hedgehog90/openformat-to-obj
how the hell do I use it?

Some of the pedestrian models from gtaV are pretty good surely after 5 years of being on pc someone has ripped the models and uploaded them online. But I can't find it. Anyone have any good resources or leads as to where to find em? I would rip them myself but uninstalled GTAV. i never play it and it takes up like 100gb of damn space...i dont want to wait 3 days to reinstall it again.

Where do I find models such as the chimp, birds, and sharks etc...? Are the textures to said models in the same place? If not, where are they? Which rpf file do I look in? I ask because I just extracted an ISO for Red Dead Redemption, and since it is also made by RockStar, I would assume they have a similar directory, or at least asset names.

@LeeC2202 @Shaezbreizh I figured it out. Xbox put a failsafe on their ISOs to prevent unpacking like this. I had to first go to the ISO preferences and uncheck the read only box, then I had to open it with a program called Xbox Backup Creator. Thanks for all your help

@LeeC2202 Red Dead Redemption comes on two separate ISO files each are about 7.3GB. So far Ive tried extracting with Power ISO, Magic ISO, and WinZip. They all have the same result. As soon as I click extract, windows explorer stops responding. The program thinks it extracted fully for some reason, and I end up getting like 200MB worth of data.

Interestingly, If I extract the first ISO, get what few files I have, then try the second ISO, all the files conflict. Not just because they are the same name, but because they are the same files, you can tell because they are the same exact size.

You seem to know a lot about this, you wouldn't happen to know what I'm doing wrong would you?

@LeeC2202 I had no idea I could do that with 7zip. Hopefully the fact that its several gigs wont crash it or anything.

@LeeC2202 Thanks, this is actually perfect. Its almost eerie such a highly specific program exists. Now I just need to figure out how to unpack the .ISO and I will be able to get new model resources.
