reminds my of WildArms3 ( http://ps23dformat.wikispaces.com/Wild+Arms+3 ) I've tried the WildArms3eememoryto3ds.BMS with a modified search pattern (findloc OFFSET string "\x80\x00\x00\x00\xC0\x2E\x30\x12\x04\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" 0 0 ; ) at no avail. Produces 1 or two senseles 60 bytes files and I do...

sry, it should read: Sat Jan 21, 2017 2:32 pm

btw: adding BCx headers to a swatchbin file didn't work (BC1 looked even worse): (height and width values in hexprint replaced by 00 02 00 00, 00 04 00 00 for the real DDS file)

which model did you try? (exe needs two dlls, see zip in my sig)

@nick22savino: the zip with the ...-gc.exe (grouping check) is in the post as of Sat Jan 21, 2017 2:32 pm

Do you think it´s possible to create a tool to extract the texture from the swatchbin I would try to add a suiting header (bc1, bc5?). Meanwhile you could look at Andrakann's results using PVTTexTool. Maybe you could further improve the Make_H2O-ForzaHor-gc.exe for better import of separate objects...

welcome to the forum

1) could you show a picture of the terrain vertex header?
2) sample of a mech would be nice

Some polys still attached to different LODs. This is due to the autocreation of groups. I don't see a simple solutions there other than manually moving the group lines (such as g body_a_001 ) between the triangles (f 128/128 129/129 130/130). Obviously there's the need of two different versions, on...

yep, makes sense that moveable parts like doors and hoods are being tied to the skeleton, and when I use -0.884457 0.618187 0.656853 from boneDoorLF (in AST_DB11_17_skeleton.modelbin ) for re-positioning doorHandleLF_a it moves, but not enough. Guess this position is relative to the root (bone)? May...

Do you mean positions from each model's modelbin or the "main" modelbin? I'm talking about the separate objects like hood_a.modelbin which contain the position offsets each (what is the "main" modelbin?). (But it's true, I've a deja vue of having skipped some promissing sections 'cause of lazyness....

Is there a way to get models and correct scale? they are very big. I don't know about the "correct scale", just applied the values from the modelbin files. As I wrote before (for blender) press s , then 0.02, <ENTER> and you're done. And doors are in wrong position. yep, and hoods, too, dunno about...

Talking about the mobys.dat I guess? It's simple but you'll need to learn how to use a hexeditor: selecting bytes and writing the selection to a file. Any valuable hexeditor should be capable of that. HexEdit (from Andrew Phillips) is free and can do it (Edit/Mark/Mark Position, Extend To Mark, Edit...

so, finally I've come to a point where I'm a little bit stuck. As you may know there's some submeshes (groups) which contain two or more submeshes. There's up to 5 uv regions (blocksizes from 12 to 36 in modulo 4 steps) per object (*.modelbin) but that's not enough. (I've detected an identical amout...

yeah, great expectations you have. But there isn't too many people in this forum who "act on command". (Ever thought of learning to script for yourself?)

I don't write scripts, too, since it's easier for me to use hex2obj (view link in my sig):

Hello,
you might read here:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=10812&p=100654&hil ... on#p100654

(I don't think that I'll touch this again,. cause I'm too busy with a myriad of other things quite now.)

Use the second script here viewtopic.php?f=10&t=11872&p=97926&hili ... ern#p97926 with quickbms to extract irbs from dat files.

(numbered files, no filenames so far, sry)

Then use Gh0stBlade's python script fmt_ratchetandclank_irb_1_5.py with Noesis on irb files.
