Oh my god that is horrifying

All I ever wanted is that classic <3
Hope we get something like that eventually, now that this whole SJW crap has already run its course and people are standing against it.
Dude, I wish there was an option to toggle off zoom out for when you fight against Aganos, at least in offline modes. I’d love to see him in all his glory, towering over the other characters. The way the camera zooms out now, it doesn’t make Aganos look big, it just makes the others look tiny.
Going to be on a cruise all next week, so I’m going to try to get as much info out before I head out as I can.

Absolutely no piracy or copy-written material in that post, just info on how to get all of the sounds you want out of your copy of the game.
Have fun, and look for more info soon!
Nice, but not exactly KI2 Orchid:

I love mods (in general, for most games I play).
But I DO have a problem with mods in ONLINE games. The problem is that if you download… say… a modded (and superb, crazy-good-looking highly detailed) model of Orchid, and you then play against human players, then THEY do NOT see that model. In other words, it’s “client side” all the time, and that, in my opinion, sucks. Now of course, it would be fun for my own entertainment and satisfaction to download a modded model for Orchid and play some matches and whatnot, but OFFLINE, I don’t mind that and it can be fun, sure. But the problem is Killer Instinct (this new one that is) is in DIRE need of getting better character models. Not just Retro models, but I agree that those specific models ARE generally pretty bad, and you don’t need to be a professional 3D modder / modeller to SEE that… heck just look at Sabrewulf’s current Retro… he looks like a shaved rat for crying out loud!
Now I LOVE the idea that very talented, genuinely-professional 3D modellers / modders actually and actively are looking into this and are working to make “stuff” happen for Killer Instinct. It IS amazing that it can happen at all to start with, and I’m very happy to see that already a good amount of work HAS been done and is still being done by some individuals around out of their own personal spare time (especially when it’s done for free). Then again, the BIG problem here is that to make ANY of that work worth it, we would need to make it OFFICIAL, but it will probably never happen. Can you guys imagine Iron Galaxy going: " Oh, look, people out there make better stuff than us, let’s use their models, make an official update and everyone will have them! ", because that’s NOT how it works, but it SHOULD happen just like that. I cannot fathom that the real Killer Instinct fans out there would be content with a downloaded (modded) character that only THEY could see while playing, while at the back of their mind there’s that constant thought telling them " Yeah, this new Orchid looks good… too bad 99% of the KI players base doesn’t see it ".
I mean, am I the only one here who would be disappointed in seeing such beautiful and details modded KI characters that would only be seen by those who bother downloading them? And what if Iron Galaxy actually do NOT support this at all? And what if MICROSOFT doesn’t want one of their beloved ‘Windows App’ to be “modified” by the community? What if either of them tell us " If you get caught playing with a modded character you get banned " ? And, on the contrary, let’s say that Iron Galaxy actually LETS us mod the game and play it the way we want with mods left and right, let’s just presume that they actually WANT that happen. Ok, then what? Will they actually take the time to update the character models in future patches? Or will they just let us mod for our ‘personal pleasure’ while keeping those default models in the game all the time?
Anyways… yeah I do like seeing that KI on PC is being modded, it’s cool, on a technical level. But if I know that my modded Orchid can’t be seen by my opponent, and if my opponent has a different Orchid model that I myself cannot see either, then what IS the ultimate point? This is not a single-player game like Skyrim and its superb mods. It’s a fighting game that is much better to be played online against people, and in my opinion if there was to be a general characters models overhaul in the game made by the community then Iron Galaxy SHOULD use those models, make an official patch and include them in the game for EVERYONE. But I’m 200% convinced that such a thing will simply never happen, unless they sort of HIRE one (or more) 3D modellers from the community to officially be part of their team, otherwise we can just forget about it (and we’ll be stuck with downloading stuff for ourselves in silence).
My 2 cents, heh.
idk why you care so much about what your opponent sees. You’re not going to see from your opponent’s perspective anyway, who cares?

he thinks the current models are so bad that they will turn people off from ki thats why even though he will see these mods he wishes the opponent will see it too because he thinks they are better and that these mods will improve the general opinion of KI models to the public
Yo, that Kim Render…
However,what if some players like the look we already have in the game?
Anyone know if the modded designs will be available for use in the xbox one version?
I believe its impossible. You can be banned from Live.
Will they be available to use in online ranked matches on the pc version?
Probably but the other person won’t see the modded designs, also since this is windows based game, the system may (not saying it will) see this a a hack or something and kick you off or ban you online (again, this may not happen). I wouldn’t try it until IG supports mods. Might be different since your not only playing people from pc to pc but also those on the xbox live servers.
Has anyone here attempted to do this successfully? I’m stuck at the “extracting the .pak file” part…
Use that quickbms and use the KI config for quickBms that I included.
Just run QuickBms, select the KI.txt file when it asks for the config to use, select your Global.pak next, then pick a place for it to be extracted.
That will get your .paks unpacked and get you to the next step.
Let me know if that doesn’t work for you.
Any progress on the Orchid model yet?
Yep, I’ll post up some KI 2 Orchid shots tomorrow

Well, looks like it worked. Thanks!
Here’s to hoping you will make a script that will extract/convert images anytime soon.
