Here's a link to it (ignore the ".efo", there's a ".mgf" version contained in the appended zip):

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious. Do you mean one of the links in your signature?

@shakotay Thanks for tackling his questions and adding some new tidbits. It'd been so long without activity that I wasn't sure if it was to resurrect a dead topic, XD So is the 'Make_obj' that you're referring to something that you're working on? I got a bit burnt out working on some of the vehicles...

Do you mean Ninja Ripper? I'm not familiar with nR.

Does this mean static models are rippable, and does it have to be while the game is running instead of from the actual files?

Easy killer, he was just replying to my question which was indirectly related on account of the file format discussion he brought up. Yes, that's what it is for, but I was just curious since I didn't even know that emulation of the stuff was possible. Sometimes it is helpful to ask someone knowledge...

@koonbozorg Wow, thanks for sharing that. I didn't even know about that emulator. Not a problem on the tools, I hope people find them helpful. Unfortunately, I don't know the other KT formats as well as DOA5, but part of the challenge will be keeping file sizes the same until someone knows how to pa...

Wow! Great job! I really hope you can upload a pack containing all models and textures in .obj and .png form or any workable format! Keep it up! Thanks! That's a rather tall order considering just how many models are included in 'all'. Even hair meshes are broken into a ton of parts, so that would ...

I updated the first post with a tutorial and a streamed down utility now that it does not need my partial image & meta functions. I know you guys are community champs and not prone to receive anything for your efforts, but if you change your mind please PM me. At least to do my part and help anyone ...

Wow, wow, wow! I only have so many words to express: 'You Guys are Amazing!' I really appreciate having this thing cracked after soooooo long. @shakotay, Hmmm, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen Blender have alternate scaling even when using exact game scale values, so thank you for at least ma...

it's just ty_flipped= 1 - ty I can send you a newer (i.e. one year old) version of hex2obj for testing (but I'm sure to have introduced new bugs) as soon as I'm home again in 2 days or so. That'd be neat if it works out. No rush! I'd need a sample file. Some formats use extra offsets for the realig...

I love how this app has made some recent projects a reality. Thanks again for making this! One curiosity question. Would it be possible to add a flag to Flip UV's on the vertical axis? I have a tendency to forget to always flip them to match texture when I'm in Blender, so I ask as a means of time s...

Awesome, didn't know you already had a plan. If so, I'll patiently await your intel. :) That sounds like good advice, I guess it's something learned along that way that I hadn't encountered enough yet. I agree that it is nice to have those values available. So with tinkering trying to better underst...

@AceWell !!! Incredible, that's killer! :D That's going to help pare down all the extra meshes that I'm looking for. Works like a champ. I did try opening the tif files after using the script, and it looks like their custom meta information is still packaged with it so Photoshop/GIMP won't recognize...

@akderebur No worries, I know that info during research is a work in progress :) and images don't need to be complicated to get the point across. That's how I do those too. Thanks for posting that. I'm lacking in know how to get the skeleton or even how to get one working through Noesis or Blender, ...

@shakotay, If the documentation itself is not that useful, it's okay. When I was struggling to get assistance with this a while back, it was all I could even find on the format. Like with any engine, I would assume that the developer could have re-purposed the container. Day One Studios didn't exact...

Sounds like a plan. I've run out of day time too, but I at least got the script updated the to export a list of vertbin & idxbin locations. It's not the exact positions shown in your examples, but I'll adjust that on the next pass. http://www.mediafire.com/file/sauvsvlfy9gx214/MGF_Meta_V1.1.zip Edit...
