You may be able to make your dds with DDS Utilities from here: https://developer.nvidia.com/legacy-texture-tools

I haven't tested, but it might be worth a try.

Hey kornto, I am having trouble with part0\levels\gta5\generic\gtxd.rpf. When I export the entire contents of it, I get this error. Offset and length were out of bounds for the array or count is greater than the number of elements from index to the end of the source collection. It is happening in Pa...

I replaced all mips in the low res, and high res didn't have mips. Low res have 3 mips in the .xtd I modded. I just directly modded the data instead of using the texture editor. Similar to the way it was done in this post. http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?p=81727#p81727 Chances are if you don't...

I never did much more research on this format. Last I remember, I didn't see the character models anywhere obvious. Would be a fun game to mod graphics on.

The main header has a few bits of info. -File entry count -zlib blocks start -possible checksum before padding near end of main header -a few other unknowns The next section looks encrypted. There is a section after the one that looks encrypted that seems to go up kind of sequentially. After that th...

Finally managed to mod a few textures. This is s_m_y_cop_01.xtd and s_m_y_cop_01+hi.xtd from componentpeds_s_m_y.rpf from part0.rpf with an inversion of the rgb colors on the dxt1 data. http://i.imgur.com/5zAmtIU.jpg There is so much to tinker with in this game. Btw, kornto, I had to comment out 1 l...

Hey anyone made any progress on decrypting or decompressing the data?

Any progress chrrox?

anyone got an xbox sample? You can grab one from xbuc.net. Search for 130ABF66 in the search bar and unpack the downloaded file with wxpirs or another container tool. Once the container is extracted, you will have 3 files. The one I'm testing on is patch_compressed.vpp_xbox2. patch_compressed.vpp_x...

somebody said xbox and ps3 files are identical just different endian, so i'm assuming zlib. post a screenshot of the hex where the compressed data starts. the PC files contain the zlib prefix 78DA so i don't think the xbox one will have the missing prefix. if it's a different compression i would fi...

I'm getting some similar results as quickbms using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.Compression; as some of the files the bms script tries seem to start inflating. I told the inflater's SetInput() to use from the 8th byte of of the chunk the container is referring to. I also got a similar result by tryin...

Note: I have only tested this on the xbox360 files. Is everyone sure this is zlib? I know it does provide the decompressed and compressed sizes in the header sections for each file, but no dll/quickbms is actually decompressing the data. The current script does not decompress, only removes the first...

Thanks for all your help chrrox and mariokart64n. I've finally got the faces parsing correctly. http://oi45.tinypic.com/wssozq.jpg Time to add uv and normal extraction to my tool now. :) Update.. UVs and normals are working out just fine using the same re-indexing method. :) http://oi46.tinypic.com/...

Thanks for responding chrrox. I do skip 2 bytes past the string default, and begin to read faces 6 bytes at a time. I think the face count is just above the string default right before the mesh name as a short. If I use the entire block based on that count though, it generates way too many faces. An...

I've been looking into the Star Trek Legacy .M3D files in an attempt to get the geometry out of them. The vertices are stored as 32bit little endian floats, and the face indexes look like they're stored as little endian shorts. Before the vertex block starts there are 3 counts and a possible type fl...
