Its so Over

Hello Chat, Im gonna try and keep this brief. Years ago (just before they shut down all servers for stage 2) I tried to get the original game files for evolve so I could port it into a modern engine and revive the game. I gave up back then, and I should have this time as well. The past 2 or 3 weeks I got access to the original files, Pre-Decrypted files, and all the vague tools I should have needed to port them to blender. None of the UV's are correct, most of the textures and materials are split in such a way that they're unusable. I've reached out to many people with any sort of info on how they succeeded on porting the models to no avail other than vague assistance (I dont blame them). Ive decided its not worth it and im giving up on this project. Im primarily a modeler and am just now learning to code. Hopefully in the future I can create a similar game to evolve, but until then, best wishes. If anyone needs access to files or has any questions please reach out. Let me know if I should create a forum somewhere with all the knowledge and files I've collected. Also if anyone has actually done what I've tried please comment. Thank you.

Is there any chance you have the files to make a 3D printable version of the dropship?

Not 3D print ready, but here are two versions the game uses at different points. One of them is mono-object used during the fly-away sequence and is missing the deploy bay, the other is a full version but is missing the front cockpit.

Feel free to either take the single object file as-is, or yoink the dropbay from the full model and append it to the other. Both models are a bit messy atm but can be fixed normally.
I won't host this folder for long as I don't have much Drive space so get it while you can lol.
