They made them. I see them. I can extract them. They are proper normals. I'm sure they are. I'm just saying that since they are autogenerated they just looks wrong. Even if you autogenerating normals 3D software still inputs information about normals inside each vertex on export. So they are normal...

They have normals in models . I think those models have been saved into game format with autogenerated models. The game looks a bit quality lack even for that year. I suppose it's because it was made for film advertisement. So I don't think devs had much time to bother making smooth groups for the ...

yes, this is how normal maps works — you need to smooth all the model to properly use normal map on it. except the case where you need a hard angle.

they can but you have to install official modding tool for specific game. Unfortunately official mod tools are hard to find this days even for sale.

thank you daemon1,

looking good I ripped textures with ninja ripper. for import into 3ds max I'm using xnalara importer by mariokart.

whoo, at first I thought that cars in this game are terrible but then I looked closer at the texture an they have really good ones. How did you open the doors, is it skinned as well? how did you managed to extract resources and textures?

daemon1 wrote:ok weapons got exported with bones too.

looking great! the game has some unique modification of well know weapon.

daemon1, I sholud admit that you make good effort on the topic so far. Odd coincidence is that I'm playing the game right now to rip some weapon models and if your technique will support props/weapons that would be just great. Speaking of call of duty at least World at War should use same technology...

dragonzh,
thanks a lot. You supporting a great tool. I managed to convert these textures successfully.

Try UnityEX he is on site ZoG UnityEX ZoG Only it is necessary to carry out the export of assets. This is the format ktx, it is supported by console. UnityEX export name.assets -t ktx thanks, the tool works but I still can't open this ktx texture with PVRTexTool. I suppose they are encrypted or som...

if it was that easy I will not asked for help at the first place. I'm an artist, I can draw things and even try to examine formats but it's hard for me to dig into engineer stuff
however thanks for your help shak

okay, got them loaded, plus we've a skeleton here. 23 bones only ? For me it looks like it doesn't have (all) fingers - so dunno if it's worth dealing with it. true, it may look crappy since it's an old strategy game but I'd like play with the original models since I'm a huge fan of the series. plu...

This may be due to this strange icon (know what it means?):

this is it, .def - it's file for ingame entity. you should load .def file and all the rest files will load automatically.
