I don't think you can unpack a .hwm map file thingy. I know that it is possible, as some people have this tool to do so.

You can actually do it with the regular ResourceExtractor program that's also used to unpack the assets.bin, just add the argument "map" to it, so something like:
ResourceExtractor.exe map generated.hwm

Can anyone please help me understand in layman's terms how to "just add the argument 'map' to it". After googling argument to .exe blah blah forever I couldn't really come up w/ much other than making a shortcut and messing around w/ the target directory :  ...ResourceExtractor.exe" map mylevel.hwm

Making a shortcut and changing the target directory like that is one way of doing it, so that should work fine.

Hey, hope someone here is still active.. I want to unpack a .hwm file using the resource extractor, but I dont get it... how can I change the directory of a shortcut ? the extractor just opens a small console for like 0,5 sec closing it immediately

Yes you can, I don't remember the command though, I'll do some research.
