Navigate to /levels/narratives and chose a map to port in my case First World Bank
### Get started with pdworld2json.py
Install python
You can also just install it a different way this is just the easiest.
Next install the requirements using requirements.txt
Open a Powershell Terminal in the Folder you extracted the project files.
Then use the command
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Next run this command to convert the world.continent to a json
```
python .\pdworld2json.py
```
**It should also have printed out what files you will need to export u will need to remember that**
### Export the needed assets from the game
Go back to Diesel Bundle Viewer and navigate to /units
Export the needed files Printed out by pdworld2json.py (In my case it is pd2_dlc_red, pd2_dlc_drive, pd2_dlc1, payday2, pd2_dlc_arena, pd2_dlc_eng, units, pd2_dlc2, vehicles, pd2_dlc_casino, lights, world, equipment, dev_tools, pd2_mcmansion)
Mark them Right Click and Press save as and save them in your project folder in a folder called "units"
### Convert .model files in the unit folder and make them ready for blender
Make sure to download [PAYDAY 2 Model Tool](https://github.com/kythyria/payday2-model-tool/releases) [PAYDAY-2-Hashlist](https://github.com/Luffyyy/PAYDAY-2-Hashlist)
If all done right just open ExportModels.bat and it should export the models. It will take a bit for it to finish so sit back and relax.
You can also use this, it is faster, but i found if it encounters an error it will crash, and not export the rest, using the .bat makes if it encounters an error it will just continue.
```
.\PD2ModelParser.exe --batch-export=VALUE
```
After it finished, we need to sort the data for the next step, so open ModelCopyForBlender.bat
It should have created 2 more folders output and textures, and copied the data needed for blender.
### Fixing the models using blender and a script
Now we should have a bunch of models with the .gltf inside output with the proper folder structure but they are not really usable in unreal.
So download [Blender](https://www.blender.org/) if you haven't already and open ConvertExportedToUnreal.blend.
If for some reason you cant open the .blend file anymore, you can just make a new project and load the blender_script.py.
If up to this point you have done everything correct you should be able to hit the run script button, and wait for it to finish.
