Here's an initial basic Noesis script that should read the vertices and faces correctly from the text info supplied in the file.

You'll need to rename the files as *.bingeom for the script to work.

Some more info: if you look at the end of the file, there is some text info that tells you how the data is stored. So in the attachment in the first post, you have this: {"type":"PolyMesh","faces":{"o":0,"l":1092,"b":1},"faceCount":{"o":1092,"l":4},"positions":{"o":1096,"l":2184},"colorMaps":{},"uvM...

This is my script so far, if you want to test it out. Not sure if it's perfect, but hopefully it should work with most models.

Here's my crappy initial Noesis script which should get the basic model data, with the faces. The file probably needs extensive parsing of the PS2's VIF data to get the full thing, for UVs and normals, etc. It's not perfect, but it's a start... It works similar to that Blender one, just as a test of...

Can you upload 1 or 2 examples of the model files?

I've not looked in much detail, but I can see this object in one of the .mesh files. The data in those seems to start at 0x15c and each entry is 0x3c bytes (5038 vertices in this case). I can see vertices and UVs, not sure about most of the rest. The .skin file contains all the skeleton info, and .m...

I posted this on Discord earlier: For the .srsa file - delete the first 16 bytes, and save as a new file with the extension .ktsl2asbin. For the .srst file, delete up to the "KTSS" header and save as a new file with the extension .kns - both will then play in Foobar with vgmstream. Also on the Disco...

You can use Model Researcher if you just want to export an .obj file, with these settings for vertices, faces and UVs:





I'm not sure if there are other meshes in that file or not ...

Foobar with the vgmstream plugin opens both of those .bnk files with no problems - and it will convert them to .ogg, or other formats.

I did manage to get the textures working at least - but still not sure how they're referenced properly. But it's a start! Still definitely a lot more in those files to work out. This is with the diffuse and normal texture maps, although I'm not sure if the normal map is displaying properly or not. h...

Yeah, there's a few characters like that in there. Could be leftovers, or just Easter eggs for us to find.

As far as I can see, there's no skeleton info in those files, so those must be stored elsewhere.

It would be good to get some of the textures to experiment with too.

Yeah, I found some characters models in file 0:



I've also amended my code to include an export to .obj option for the models (attached). It successfully exports all models in file 0 - haven't tried the others yet.

I've looked for the positional info in the file but couldn't see anything that worked - unless someone else knows where it is, and I can easily add it.

If you want to try out my hacked together work in progress Noesis script, I've attached it.

You only need to enter the required mesh number in the file and it should display it. UVs and normals are included where known, as not every mesh has the same vertex layout!

The format of the whole archive isn't too bad - there's a table at the start which has info like the stride value for each mesh. This is referenced from the 2nd table, which has the vertex/face counts, etc. Then the vertex/face data tables after that. There's probably an index somewhere for the text...
