Tools for extract and convert textures in ShenmueHD (2018), 2018-09-19
Maybe not as convenient as IPAC, but until it gets to be fixed - this tools can be useful (for Shenmue and other games with PVRs - RE:CV, Grandia2, Jet Set Radio, etc)

How to use:

#######################################
1. Unpack disk_*.tac with Shenmue_HD_TAD_Tool or ShenmueHDTools

#######################################
2. Unpack GZ archives. You can use 7z from this tools pack.

Put you .GZ files in folder unpackGZ-7z\data\ and run unpack7z.cmd script.
7z have automatic "archive file type" detection, so you can put any files there.  Only archives will be unpacked, of cause.
---------------------------------------
Alternatively, you can use busybox. Copy all files (with .dat extension) to pvrext\data and run dat-unpack.cmd. Decompressed files will appear in the same folder (naming in GZ not be preserved).

#######################################
3. Extract pvrs. Put all folders with uncompressed files in quickbms\data\ and run extract-pvr-subdir.cmd.
Use extract-pvr-crfolder.cmd if not have any subfolders.
---------------------------------------
Alternatively, you can use Universal PVR Extractor.
Put all files (subfolders are not supported) with textures (MDL, etc) in data and run extract-all.cmd.
Use patch-all.cmd to return all pvrs back to that files (same as quickbms here, pvr file size must be equal or less than original).
Script is not fast as quickbms so it can take some time until all files will be scanned for textures and extracted.

#######################################
4. You can convert pvrs to png if you wanted to.
Copy pvr2png folder to root directory ("D:\pvr2png", etc) or just make shure that no special characters used in name patch.
Copy folders with pvr textures to data and run pvr-folders2png.cmd script.


#######################################
