Request: Support for Darkness & Divinity with .nova extension #25

Open JackHarris1973 opened 1 month ago

JackHarris1973 commented 1 month ago

Hi, I have an archive for an Android game called Darkness & Divinity, which was discontinued two years ago. The archive has the file extension .nova, which GameExtractor didn't recognize. The .nova file was in an .OBB file, which was in an .APK file.

You can access the .nova file here: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/1k8e5dljvfmvyid/main.5037.com.game.nova/file Be warned: it's over 1.4 GB.

I'm hoping to access model & texture assets from the game. Thanks!

Thanks for the file, we have had a look and confirm that it appears to be an archive with lots of varying content in there, however we weren't able to find a directory or information that would allow us to find the individual files in the archive. Are there any other files that have the same name as the NOVA but a different extension, or any other files in the OBB, or even maybe a file that includes "index" or "tab" or "dir" or similar in the name?

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. The OBB itself contains only the .NOVA file, but zooming out one level, the APK that the OBB is stored in also contains the following:

https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/xpqqb8llzyk873n/manifest.json/file https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/gegwit87qwp2ryg/com.game.nova.apk/file

The first one is a manifest file. Not sure how helpful that would be. The second one, com.game.nova.apk, can be opened with 7-zip. I didn't include that originally because it's only 94 MB, and I'm certain it doesn't contain the 3d model assets I'm looking for, but I'm sure you understand this stuff better than me. I'd appreciate it if you could take a look.

Thanks again!

Jack

Thank you for sending the additional files. We took a look at the ones you sent, and looked for any files in the APK that looked like they may contain what we need, however unfortunately we still can't find anything relevant, we still can't find a way to locate the specific files within the NOVA archives. We can see that they're in there, and at least some of the files are Unity files - we thought about trying to scan and extract them, however that's still going to be pretty useless, as we're going to need the filenames for those archives - most Unity archives need to talk to other files to extract all the data, and without the filenames, we won't be able to link the Unity files together without the filenames.

We're sorry that we can't support this archive at the current time, but we will certainly support it if further information comes to light in the future.
