well, you shouldn't give up to soon :D You're on a very good way - but seems you didn't get my hint, obviously: >> 1 means shift right one bit, so the lines would be imgWidth = bs.readInt() >> 1 imgHeight = bs.readInt() >> 1 Think of a binary value that is shifted right by one bit: 0b1110 >> 1: 0b01...

but when loading the constructs, the following happens: "constructs"? What is this? A submesh? but I am looking at .o3d files I found the bones that were missing: [...] moreover, in the first thred darksider, claim that .o3d files are the skeleton template files: Could you upload a DS2 dc...

Would be worth to mention that you're converting from big to little endian, right?

Your link mega.nz/keycode doesn't work, btw

if you claim the data to be RGBA32 then it's 4 bytes per pixel.
If you divide width and height by 2 (>> 1) everything looks fine.

(512*576*4= datasize)

I tried to understand what you're doing but - to be honest - I did not. Are you familiar with maxscript? I don't see a parenting of bones in the script. Seems you fixed that problem manually. It's hard to follow your descriptions concerning the problem with the golem for example without the sample a...

uvs are a little bit funny - have to be zoomed. (Dunno why where so much empty space between the parts.)

if it was that easy I didn't mean it to be easy - what I meant is (if noone cares) that it would be a good idea to start with searching for all those infos you (or I) can get easily. 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 [ro...

does not support the uploaded ltb because it contains bones

you could check for weights (in FVF block?) and boneids. Weights are in the range of 0.0 to 1.0, sum of weights (for 4 boneids in most cases) is 1.0. Boneids from 0 to 22. For machine_gunner_male_eng_outfit (FVFsize=40) at FVF offset 20 it looks like normals (sum of squares = 1.0). There might be bo...

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.

would be nice if it did, but it doesn't for some reason. It seems to read data but it doesn't display anything: Found entry b'MESH' at 0xf0 Number of triangles: 572 Material info: 0xf14 Material name length: 0x8 Material file: b'ammo.mtl' Found entry b'MESH' at 0x129 Number of triangles: 2090 Materi...

sadly that doesn't work for me (Win7). it should appear in "Testing" in "Supported Level" btw well, that's an essential info, you know? :D Anyway, as import/export options I've Men of War (.def) only. This may be due to this strange icon (know what it means?): blender_install_sc...

to install: - copy folder 'io_scene_mdl' to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.77\scripts\addons\'; - in Blender open 'User Preferences'; - press 'Install from File' and choose '__init__.py'; - done. sadly that doesn't work for me (Win7). (I was thinking it might be a matter of th...

did you get the script to run? In blender 2.73 neither installing from file (zip) nor copying the io_scene_mdl folder into the addons folder worked. I can identify/install any other script by its name from bl_info = { "name": "Web3D X3D/VRML2 format", for example but not this one...
