SGBIN files contain a 3D object with 4 levels of details (files _l1 to _l4) and textures as well as a file which makes link between them (graph.bin or sgbinname.sg file).

If for some reason you want to uncompress a SGBIN file to get the "raw" data which it contains, then use function "Uncompress a file" on main interface.

Function SGBIN Unpak changes some files and file names contained in SGBIN for easier edition.
Tools / SGBIN Unpak

Click on "Source File" to choose the SGBIN file that you want to uncompress

Click on "Destination folder" to choose the folder where will be created the folder with the same name of the selected SGBIN source file and the uncompressed files inside.

Click on "Uncompress " to throw uncompression and conversion of files.
Note :

The textures which are in SGBIN are in MC-DDS format. This format is not editable.
Function SGBIN / Unpak converted these textures into standard DDS files and editables.

A DDS file is a compressed format of picture and compression method can vary from a file to another one,
that is why this software, having converted files into standard DDS, changes the name of files and puts at the beginning of the name (DXT1) or (DXT5): it will allow you, if you edit these files with a picture software, to know which format of compression to choose during the recording of your modifications.

A FileName.dat file is created in the folder to keep some information to be able to re-compress. Do not delete it, function SGBIN Repak will delete it when done!

IMPORTANT :

Don't delete any file in the folder and don't change any file name. During the recompression, SGBIN REPAK will ask you for a name for your new object, and all files will be renamed correctly before being re-compressed.
