Need serious Assistance

If anyone knows a way to either load cooked uasset files or uncook a packaged game back to original source that would be helpful I lost my hard working source copy of my game that i worked hard at and need help i currently still have packaged version. i know theres got to be a way to enable cooked uasset file loading. i was able to extract the pak file but the uasset files are cooked i need someone to provide steps to uncook them or convert packaged game to original source that would be helpful.

I very very highly doubt you can reverse engineer a cooked and packaged content back to its source for obvious reasons, but good luck.

there has got to be a way because i tried comparing a cooked and uncooked uasset file there is some like ue4++release or something like that. i was told there was a mark that when found it refuses to load the uasset file.

I believe there is some data lost as you are cooking a uasset, which is why it isn’t possible in the first place. If you need meshes its easy to revert, but i wouldn’t be very optimistic about animations/blueprints.

would it be possible to add some things to a materiel uasset i tried comparing a plain uncooked material uasset file that i created to one of my cooked files and compared them would it be possible if i added something on a line that was missing for it to load it.

because i looked and none of the cooked ones have this line something like NULNULNUL++ue4-release-4.19NULNULNUL
like i just dont know whats missing this is very important to me. because i was told it is possible if you look deep enough.

Well, you would need to add data related to what you had in your lost uncooked assets, like the blueprint content, etc…

This is going to be harder than i thought isnt it.

Like i did unpak my pak file but the uasset files are cooked any advice or ways i could successful revert to original source.

Sorry, but you are skilled around c++ you can check the engine source to see how uasset file structure is composed, and partially recreate your lost content and merge both together. But first, i would wait on someone else to answer, maybe there is a way.

okay i will but lol i have searched everywhere.
