A tool that allows browsing and investigating file formats of the game. Some functions are broken on the Japanese version of the game (NTSC-J).

• Download and unzip latest build
• Open a console window and launch the binary with chosen parameters:
  • Archive source
    • -iso "Path_to_ISO_file" if you have an .iso file. Detection of second layer implemented (it is not supported by almost every virtual drive software)
    • -toc "Path_to_directory_with_GODOFWAR.TOC_and_PART?.PAK_files" if you have .PAK and .TOC files
    • -dir "Path_to_directory_with_WAD_files" if you have .WAD files
    • -psarc "Path_to_psarc_file" if you have a psarc archive
  • Chosen playstation version -ps ps2 -ps ps3 -ps psvita
  • Target game -gowversion 1 for GoW I or -gowversion 2 for GoW II
• Open http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your browser (address can be changed via -i Listen_IP:PORT)
• In 3d view you can use:
  • LMB to look around. While holding LMB use W or S to move target forwards or backwards
  • Shift + LMB or MMB to move target in horizontal plane
  • Mouse wheel to zoom to/from target

You can! But it is hard at this time :(

• Remember: First time you upload a larger file, it takes a while (~1-5min, depending on your hard drive) to rearrange resources in pack file to create free space (You can check the console log for progress).
• Also remember that the tool is not perfect, and you should make backups of the original .iso and of your progress.
• You can download resources, change them in a hex editor and upload them back using the browser UI.
• You can reupload textures right in the browser window! Open any TXR_ resource and use the upload form (png,jpg,gif support).
• You can change UI labels inside FLP_ resources, and even create new fonts! (FLP related stuff may be broken from build to build)
• Legacy flow of modifications:
  • Download required .WADs using the god_of_war_browser web interface
  • Use wadunpack to unpack the .WAD file where you want to make changes
  • Add/remove/modify the game files, but do not forget to modify wad_meta.txt. Some info about the file formats can be found in the sources of god_of_war_browser.
  • Archive the files back into .WAD using wadpack
  • Pack wad files in part1.pak using packer
  • For testing replace the original PART1.PAK and GODOFWAR.TOC in your .iso using isoreplacer
• Test the game using an emulator (pcsx2). Do not forget to close and exit god_of_war_browser before running the game in the emulator! (This applies only if you will be using the same .iso file)

Just open any obj file! Supported parsing of:

• Joint rotation
• Joint position
• Texture UV
• Texture flipbook
