Hey! The team and I are slowly working on things, sadly real life stuff has been going on so less time has been dedicated to the work we are trying to do. Hopefully with the winter break coming up a little more work can be done, but it's deffo not been an easy task in general parsing files and tryin...

The Nightfire Research Team have been hard at work these last few weeks, we have cracked a lot more of the formats and keeping on with the processing of them. We are currently in the process of writing a custom tool to grab everything nice and easily, we have some bits like images, sounds, some text...

Ahh that's okay! heheh I'll patiently see what comes up and the progress made! I'll leave all the reverse engineering to the pros n what not xP but as far as nightfire goes, any progress on THOSE models?? Is this also the PC version of nightfire? Or the Console variant? As far as Nightfire goes, we...

PC version uses GoldSrc engine, that's easy to rip from using Dragon Unpacker and a decompiler. The console variant uses an id-tech 3 engine or something like that, so clearly that's where the trouble lies. Console version does not use id-tech 3, this is an old misconception, I remember for a while...

Not yet and we are really only focusing on the Nightfire game, not any others, sorry.

If there is no resource out there for understanding the model formatting / how to extract, could be a good chance to jump into the world of reverse engineering!

AuF might use Quake 3 but the underlying engine of 007 is something from Eurocom and is really strange...

We have vague understanding of how the model data is setup but it's getting the lengths and understanding their Hashtables really!

No clue at the moment, I'd imagine so cause the PC version made their own models from what I know. It's going to possibly a while until we get any models cause trying to understand how they attempt to load the model data or even finding patterns in the Hex editors is proving to be a giant pain, unti...

Some, we have been able to crack the BIN file a bit more and are currently working on a suite of tools to be able to parse the geometry, models, textures etc from files found within the FILES.BIN file... Annoyingly they are rather complex and trying to actually parse them / understand them is comple...

Woo, glad to hear I am not alone in trying to get these files out. Worked with DKDave on the Discord last night to extract stuff from the .bin file successfully (though formats are the next challenge), will try see if I can get the decompression working on the files. I will pick up that game and try...

Hell yes! How far did you get and with what tools ? I've been stuck on those .dat files too. I'm also in the progress of trying to crack the .BIN file I have in the root of the ISO... It's odd cause it's not structured like a normal file with a typical header. If you are on the Discord, drop me a me...

Hey all, I've been working on having a look through the files of 007 Nightfire model files lately and I've come across a stumbling block that I need more help with. I have the files extracted and there is some patterns I am seeing but I am struggling to figure how to parse the data out. The file mag...
