I would not worry even if you told it were yours.

If i decompile the game folder i can extract the meshes of character, objects, map?

depends on - you'll need to upload a supposed model file.

great progress you've made! Well done. :) I was a little bit unsure about the way you're creating the faces: f 1 2 3 f 1 3 4 f 1 4 5 f 1 5 6 f 1 6 7 f 1 7 8 f 1 8 9 f 1 9 10 Then I realized that vertex 1 is the middle point of a square that is built of 8 triangles so it's part of every triangle. Gre...

had a second glance onto the logged data and, hah, guess what: :D terrain4-heightmap.JPG I modified your script like this: #print(unk1) for y in range(10): unk2a = struct.unpack("<fff", bin.read(12)) unk2b = struct.unpack("<fff", bin.read(12)) unk2c = struct.unpack("<BBBBff&...

here's a simple solution for processing multiple files in maxscript:

maybe - I'm at my old pc atm (old sw versions) where I've only found one supposed NV nif (from vivanto, newvegasnexus) and it can be loaded with Nifskope 1.1.3:

My Questions: Could the .obj file possibly be the heightmap, if not, what is it? The heightmaps I've dealed with so far, were textures. terrain4.obj doesn't look like a texture file; if you display the contained floats as a point cloud it looks like a sky (but guess, it's no stars): terrain.JPG

from the quickbms manual:
MATH TMP s 4
swaps a long

using it with a (little endian) binary file: 12 34 56 78
(insert print "%TMP%" for logging the variable)
result:

texturefinder reveals more about main_font.unpack:

not to my knowledge But this is something which can be done very simply by yourself: use a translator. The following example doesn't give the very best results (some misleading may occur: 'faces' ist 'Dreiecke' instead of "Gesichter", or faces shouldn't be translated, though). Same goes fo...

That's great!
There's a tutorial on xentax, in case you didn't know:
http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/Blender_Import_Guide

(Keep this in mind: "Also note that Blender 2.4 uses Python 2, Blender 2.5 and above use Python 3."
So scripts are not interchangeable, you'll have to adapt them.)

edit: not to confuse late time readers :D I loaded the CAR5.BGV.1 . 3ds into hex2obj here! The .3ds resulted from extracting [PS2] CAR5.BGV with Burnout3BGVto3ds.bms , created by FurryFan, afaik. with this said: to find the start addresses of the submeshes in the .3ds file you might try out hex2obj ...

So what i want to do is to convert the meshes into the wavefront obj format. Depends on HOW you want to do it. Do you want to do it by script? If so, which script? Maxscript? Python script? (Noesis or Blender) If you don't know how to script then the simplest approach would be using hex2obj , imho.

not sure which bms script you're talking about, maybe Burnout3BGVto3ds.bms So there were times when I struggled with funny scripts containg things like "foxcount, fivfiv, werefox, fafterafter, Snake, Dragon" but now I'm too old for wasting my time with such. :D Quickest approach I could th...

@Smakkohooves: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=10894 @OriginOfWaves: if those flipped faces concerned a whole submesh one could flip it as a whole object. But the flipped faces appear randomly "checkered" (upper part of the picture). Even worse: the flipped faces don't hav...

there's some fiddeling required to get the submeshes but should go: c_body-mdl.JPG I faced some odd behaviour of hex2obj which claimed to have unmatching vertexcount/max faceindex count while in Strip mode although displaying they were equal. As a workaround switch to noStr mode where you'll find th...
