FoxBrowser

FoxBrowser

An Explorer-style browser for everything inside the Fox Engine

Browse the entire packed game like a normal folder tree. Open a .dat, drill into the .fpk inside it, preview the .fmdl inside that — no unpacking step, no temp folders, no command line. Works on The Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes.

Browse

• []Opens QAR archives (.dat/.qar), Ground Zeroes .g0s, and every nested container in place: .fpk/.fpkd, .pftxs, .sbp/.stp/.sab, .fsop, .mtar — archives inside archives, as deep as they go.[/]

  []Hashed filenames resolve to real paths through the community dictionaries (updatable, shipped in the dict folder).[/]

  []Browser-style tabs, breadcrumbs, grid and details views, zoom.[/]

Search

• []Deep search across the whole install, streaming results as it walks every nested archive.[/]

  []Query language: name: path: type: ext: size:>1mb hash:, wildcards, quoted terms, -negation. Example: type:lua path:quiet or ext:fmdl,fox2 size:>1mb.[/]

  []Trace references — right-click any file to find everything in the install that references it, by embedded hash or path string.[/]

Preview

— play .gani/.mtar motions on models, including custom rigs via their .frig. — a block's heightfield plus every placed object and brush scatter, rendered together.

• []Textures — .ftex at full resolution, every mip tier assembled in memory.[/]

  []Models — 3D .fmdl viewer: textures, normal and spec maps, layered transparency, self-shadowing, orbit/pan/zoom, pop-out window, light colour/intensity and cubemap controls.[/]

  []Lighting  — Now can render fmdls and other filetypes with true fox-like shaders![/]

  []Animations — play .gani/.mtar motions on models, including custom rigs via their .frig. [/]

  []FSM and Sands (the cutscene files) now render in game![/]

  []Terrain — a block's heightfield plus every placed object and brush scatter, rendered together. [/]

  []UI — .uilb/.uif/.uigb screens rendered with the game's own UI shaders, animations included.[/]

  []Audio — .wem plays in-app (vgmstream).[/]

  []Data — fox2-family files decompile to readable XML; Lua, subtitles and shaders open with syntax highlighting; anything unknown falls back to a structured hex view driven by 010 templates.[/]

Export & edit

[]Extract any file or folder from any nesting depth.[/]

[]Model export to DAE/FBX/OBJ with real bone names. (Dae export works fully atm)[/]

[]Texture export to DDS.[/]
