WARNING: our tools fail on Blender 3.6.8, 3.6.9 and 4.0

Please stay on Blender 3.6.7 LTS or (not much) earlier until we review them and solve the issue 😞 (you can find it in this list).

  • On 3.6.8 and 3.6.9, our SWTOR Shaders' controls disappear and the models show up as untextured black (even if the nodegroups and the textures are intact). We are investigating the issue.
  • For 4.0 we have a beta that doesn't suffer from that, but it doesn't let us add SWTOR Shaders manually (they don't appear in the Shader Editor's Add menu).

(All that said, you can install 4.0 alongside 3.6.7: Blender keeps the preferences and add-ons of each version completely separate so that they can coexist without interfering with each other 🙂)

Welcome to the SWTOR Slicers wiki!

We are a group of swtor fans who enjoy messing with the game and pulling out models, textures, etc. This GitHub repository contains tools and guides to help you do so yourself, as well as some other things.

This Wiki is where we pool all the knowledge we are gathering on SWTOR's data and how to use it, be it to discover what BioWare is cooking (datamining), to enhance our SWTOR experience by changing the game's looks (modding), or to make art out of the game's assets and immortalize our player characters through other 3D apps or even 3D-printing (extracting). Bear with us: it's far easier that it seems 🙂.

We encourage you to join our Discord Server, where you will be able to interact with fellow hobbyists in a direct manner, find help if you get stuck, and even contribute if you feel like it.

(We do not condone the usage of our tools for malicious intent, including: exploits, harassment of others, or anything else that may violate EA/Bioware's EULA, TOS, DSA, Privacy Policy Copyrights, Trademarks, or anything else illegal. We will not be held accountable for your actions, and will act against you if it becomes necessary)

MODDING

Modding isn't working since SWTOR moved to 64-bit codebase. Unless a new coder takes charge, it'll stay so indefinitely.

DATAMINING

Basically, use Jedipedia.net's tools and check our Discord. We'll see about adding new material, but this is very involved stuff.
