Raclette And Tank Importer (RATI, funny coincidence) is a Blender plugin that exports a map of Ratchet & Clank from .dat files to Blender.
## SUPPORTED GAMES
List of the supported games (theorically):
- [ ] Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction
- [ ] Ratchet & Clank: Quest For Booty
- [x] Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time
- [x] Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault (PS3 Version)
- [x] Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One

## SUPPORTED ELEMENTS
List of the supported elements:
- [x] Ties [^1]
- [ ] Mobys [^2]
- [ ] Shrubs [^3]
- [ ] UFrags [^4]
- [x] Zones [^5]
- [ ] Textures [^6]
## How to use ?
### Step 1
Go to `USRDIR > packed > levels > LEVEL_NAME`, use PSArcTool or PS3GameExtractor and extract:
1. `level_cached.psarc` for the models and everything
2. `level_uncached.psarc` for the scripts *(not necessary but can help fangame developers)*
### Step 2
Open Blender.
Click `Edit` in the topbar, then `⚙ Preferences`.
Go to `Add-ons` category, and search for `Raclette and Tank Importer` (it is in `Reverse-Engineering` category)
Click the check mark to enable the plugin.
### Step 3
Click `File` in the topbar, then `📥 Import`.
Press `Extract & Import RAC Level (level folder)`.
### Step 4
In the browser, search for your folder `USRDIR > packed > levels > LEVEL_NAME > built > levels > LEVEL_NAME` (depending on which game you want to export models)
Check or uncheck options depending what you want to export and have on Blender. You can always import previously non-imported elements to the scene by redoing the [Step 3](#user-content-step-3). Do not forget to uncheck what you already imported to avoid duplicates.
### Additional info
Each category of model (mobys, ties, shrubs, etc...) are splitted to different Collections.

[^1]: It's basically the greatest part of the terrain and walkable parts of maps.
[^2]: All the entities, so bolts, enemies, destructibles, crates, moving platforms, etc...
[^3]: All the map's mini-elements: Little stuff on walls, etc... Generally decorations
[^4]: If a part of the terrain is not a Tie, then it's UFrags. If unchecked, some maps may look very bad and incomplete
[^5]: It's used to group parts of the terrain and mobys in subfolders in Blender, iirc
[^6]: It seems obvious... But it's the textures. Of everything.
