Hey there, so I've been messing around lately with converting Wizard101 files and for some reason some of the Marleybone dungeons are refusing to load properly. I can't figure out why it won't let me export this as an obj (but it'll let me export other stuff just fine). I'm using Nifskope 2.0 and ha...

Maybe it's because you are using some old version of Nifskope.

That would probably do it, my Nifskope doesn't look like the one in your screenshots. I'll download the latest version and let you know if I'm still having problems. Thanks dude!

Could you please upload some samples? The best option would be to have some samples that work and few other samples that don't work in separate directories. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BJfhGJRIZlVZWP8Aof_KPKOEq7jG1zGa?usp=sharing Here, hope this helps :D There are screenshots included o...

Hey, so I've been trying to just open and convert the .WAD files from Wizard101 so I can use them in MMD, using this QuickBMS script https://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/wizard101_kiwad.bms since it's the only thing I found that seems to work. But it won't open the new version of Wizard City, any of Wy...

There's a vertex color data chunk after the normal block of the 1st submesh, meaning you can't always assume that the normals come right after the position block. Guess that's why you end up taking these addresses for the vertex attributes? Ah, gotcha. So does that mean I accidentally used a vertex...

You should upload some clearer images. Ah, sorry, my bad! I just resized the screenshots so that they would fit within the Xentax site file limits. I'll go ahead and use an Imgur link for the full sized version :mrgreen: https://imgur.com/a/WQ9yT5W Hopefully this'll work better ^^ (also if I need t...

These are not the so-called jump discontinuities. :cry: You need to understand that the data in the ibuf are all two-byte little-endian short integers. So you need to read from the right to the left. Hey there BCG, quoting this one because it was the last one that related to the addresses in the Yu...

Yes, you should read them in little-endian, which's from the right to the left, as I've already said. So it's 0x52a followed by 0xf00, which's almost 3 times of the former value. Yeah, it's definitely starting to make more sense now ^^ Looking at the .ibuf the MSBs (on the right, of course!) don't ...

Of course it's not totally in accordance with the definition since these values are discrete afterall, which's also why you need to focus on the MSB of the values. Normally I'd say it's a jump discontinuity if there's a difference over 4 between the MSBs of the two values. Another important thing i...

Refer to this post. viewtopic.php?p=139002#p139002 Thanks! I'll download it right away. Before I saw that notification, however, I ended up looking at the Yugo .ibuf a little more. I thought I'd share with you the way I would spot the jump discontinuities, so that you can just check and see if that...

I suggest to use a hex editor that supports color schemes, which's more friendly to human eyes, and easier for recognizing bytes in different ranges. Ok, I think that definitely could help, I know that my eyes kinda glaze over and get tired when looking at all those numbers sometimes and it can be ...

No. It actually make it harder.

Oh, ok. Thanks for telling me. What would the best way be, then? ^^

These are not the so-called jump discontinuities. :cry: You need to understand that the data in the ibuf are all two-byte little-endian short integers. So you need to read from the right to the left. Oof, I guess that means I probably need to start all over then >.< So is the right way to find them...

You've already been told: Then you'll see the indices between the 1st and the 3rd jump discontinuities actually belong to the same submesh group, so as those from the the 3rd jump discontinuity to the end of file . Oops- I actually ended up reading over that again and realizing that was already ans...

Believe me, most people feel the same when they attempted to take the shortcut instead of learning from the beginning. Yet not much people have the passion and patience to learn for themselves. So you're doing quite well so far. Keep going! :) Depends on how you define the discontinuity. The follow...
