Hey, I'm new to digging around game files. I saw that there's a lack of Watch Dogs content, so I decided to grab some tools and start looking. Stuff below is for Watch Dogs 1 (Windows) as I'm compiling all my discoveries.

E3 Leftovers

There are some assets left over from the E3 Game Demo.

E3 Profiler

In the E3 2012 gameplay demo, it showcases the mission "The Defalt Condition". In common.dat/profiler/profilertable.rml, there are E3-exclusive profile strings. The following were cut from the final release of the game and not re-used in the code for the actual mission later. common.dat/profiler/profilertable.rml

Unused "ArtistProperties"

Feel like this should be included but not sure how, every album in common.dat/music/music.rml has 

<string enum="AlbumProperties" LineId="197009" value="ENTER_TEXT_HERE" />

Internal names / more e3 leftovers

In common.dat/engine/shaders/materialdescriptors/glass.xml is this, mentioning E3 but also an internal website

Unused Text

In shaders.dat, there is a lot of development-related text, primarily code commenting, perfect for modders and data miners. These are some funny highlights. shaders.dat\engine\deferredambient.inc.fx

Guide to decompiling Watch Dogs 1

How to open:

.bik / Bink Video Files

  1. Download and install RAD tools: http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm
  2. Run RAD Video Tools
  3. Select files to watch

.dat / .fat Decompiling

  1. Download Disrupt: http://svn.gib.me/builds/disrupt/disrupt-r49_b38.zip source available
  2. Also download XNA Framework: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=20914
  3. Extract to centralized folder for your decomp tools (suggestion)
  4. (You might want to rename the tools for ease of use)
  5. Drag your wanted .dat AND .fat files to the directory.
  6. Open cmd in the same folder as the tools, then do "Gibbed.Disrupt.Unpack.exe [file].fat [output]/"

.xbt File to .dds

  1. Download xbt2dds: https://cra0.net/public/bin-published/xbt2dds.zip
  2. Extract to centralized folder for your decomp tools (suggestion)
  3. Open cmd in the same folder, then do "xbt2dds -t [path/to/texture.xbt] [path/to/outputfolder]"

.xbt File Viewing

  1. Download xbtview: https://cra0.net/public/bin-published/xbtview.zip
  2. Extract to centralized folder for your decomp tools (suggestion)
  3. Drag .xbt file to xbtview.exe

.sbao Files

todo

.feu Files

IMPORTANT: You won't be getting anything graphical as the textures are not included.

  1. Rename to .swf
  2. Download a hex editor: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
  3. Open the file in the editor, change the first 3 bytes to: 46 57 53 (FWS)
  4. Download FFDec: https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler/releases/tag/version18.5.0
  5. Open the file in FFDec

Things to keep in mind when searching

  • Watch Dogs used to be called "Nexus".
  • (Some??) old builds of Watch Dogs can't be decompiled with Disrupt.

Watch Dogs 2 stuff

Comparing the profiler for WD1 and WD2, a lot of stuff is re-used, either without any changes or some changes like switching words, swapping message positions. And I mean... A LOT. I don't think I can document this in its entirety.

Nexus logo, which was Watch Dogs' original name.
