Silent Hill 1

Models don't come rigged so it's not an ideal solution but it gets everything out perfectly fine. Might work better with vertex jitter turned off but I still need to test that.

Silent Hill 2

Allows the browsing of various archives to view and extract textures from them. This page also lists a model exporter but it's in .obj format so you're better off just downloading stuff from Silent Hill Museum.

General extraction tool for various files found in Silent Hill 2 & 3. Can be used to get stuff like .mdl files and .adx files from the game but usually other programs are needed to convert those files into a usable form.

Silent Hill 2 map viewer that allows maps to be exported into .obj format. For some reason when you load them into Blender they're massive though so scale the mesh down a bunch if you wanna actually see it.

Noesis plugin for SH2 maps

Silent Hill 3

Seems to have some problems with SH3 specifically but I'm not sure if that's the program's fault or the game's. Just keep in mind that some textures may need to be edited.

Exports usable files from .arc files

Despite being called a character loader it can also load anything else that's in the .mdl format such as items and weapons.

Lets you view and export map files from Silent Hill 3. It's compatible with the SH4 mesh plugin but conflicts with Spargas's plugins. Make sure to click "Clear Custom Split Normals Data" for each object when you import them into Blender otherwise your lighting will get all fucked up.

Silent Hill 4

Blender addon to import .bin files that contain world meshes. Works with the PC version only.

Site lists it as only working for 2 and 3 but it works for 4 as well. Has a tendency to leave out textures though.

Only works with .bin files from the xbox version of the game so you'll probably have to download a ROM. Also you have to remove fmt_bin.py from your Noesis plugins folder because it conflicts with this plugin.

This can extract textures from .bin files and unlike the texture explorer tool it doesn't have a problem of leaving anything out. Also doesn't work if you've got the xbox plugin listed above installed.

A plugin based on the one linked above that works with the PC version of the game. Some files get slightly different results so I'm leaving the other plugin linked too. It's of course incompatible with that other plugin and I'm pretty sure it overrides Spargas's plugin

Silent Hill 2 Remake

General tool for ripping models and textures and stuff from Unreal Engine games. One of the ways in which modern games are much easier to rip stuff from.

I figure everyone here knows how to download Noesis and Blender already and I don't need to list them. Also audio files from these games can be opened and converted with VLC Media Player.
