It's a matter of endianness, it's big endian here: (I'm more familiar with hex2obj, so I used that.)

I linked to both of the threads at the top of my post, unless there's a third thread I don't know about Yeah, see. Should have read more carefully, sry. In R10.rb there are 136 NJCM, whatever it may stand for. In title0.rbp there's 11 of them. One idea would be to understand the structure of R10.rb...

Currently, i'm completely lost, the rbp files can't load into noesis and Part 2's animations remain locked away as I have no python experience and would make a custom import plugin if I could, so I seek the help of these forums.plays python experience wouldn't help that much. Noesis uses internal c...

well, fishbiter's source, don't have the time to deal with it- looks complicated. :D But I compiled Hellwig's source, good result, Unpacker outputs a dae and png files. Sadly my blender dae importer doesn't load the textures automatically so I'd need to apply them manually. Done for one only: map07-...

and finally got to where the models are located did you? For me it looks like a bunch of animation files. It's possible to split up the contained .afs into smaller .dat files (biggest one 13kB) using the script from here: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=18942&p=145162&hilit...

First step is to get a correct mesh. I need more understanding for that.

Getting better, but had to erase superfluous faces; some still being present:

so here we go, HxD is expected to have been downloaded to your pc: You might upload the first 32 MB of the Data.dat (mark bytes from offset 0 to 0x2000000 in a hexeditor, then save selected (binary)). File open Data.dat Edit / select block Start-offset: 0 End-offset: 0x2000000 [ok] -> block is selec...

Another mt5 to obj conversion using yazgoo's basic mt5 "disasembler" (it's not a "disassembler" of course :D, it's a converter imho) map07-mt5.png (small problem with the compiled exe is the correct use of parameters imho) It's something like test_mt5.exe --no-strips %1 [path to ...

well, I've checked three mt5 files using Noesis Shenmue Model Import Addon Copyright Benjamin Collins 2016,2018 (from the op's github link) but I don't see any improvements compared to the obj files generated by yazgoo's basic mt5 disasembler: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4593&am...

I got the GameCube tex loaded with some slight header modification:

uvs for gamecube mdg; not perfect (the ones of the main body are awful) but maybe a starting point:

yeah, GXTConvert.exe throws an exception: Index out of bounds; Noesis says: "GXT is corrupted". Vita-gtx.png "Your" gtx headers are different from the ones handled by Noesis so far. (The words at offsets 0x38 and 0x3A should be image width and height.) Guess, we should leave this...

from the JimmyNeutron thread I got the idea to get more vertices for the bird: (autocreated face indices are not nice, though)

it's the Gamecube data but for PS2 it's similar. @lemurboy12: very good idea to provide the Gamecube samples! :) The code to convert it to obj gave me the idea to try PS2 again. Though, for PS2 I've got 5761 vertices only (Gamecube: 6119). Dunno why there's a difference? calamibot, PS2: a_calamibot-...

some slight modification to the code and adding of tri stripped face indices (2 meshes at the right side of pic) results in this: Some extra faces to be deleted manually.

(infinites and QNANs resulted from "random(?) zeroes" not being skipped)
