• Format appears to be similar to previous Cabela's games(Or at least it's PS2 counter-parts). Ref This is one of those annoying bms scripts containing hundreds of puts/sets. Really hate this. :D (to be clear: bms scripts normally are great) Anyway - I used hex2obj (view link in my sig) to get the ...

1) what exactly do you mean by "extract"? How to extract and archive NIF from the file? 2) which file? 3) what does that mean "archive NIF from the file"? Never heard such thing. what I have is a rar file from the opening post with DLCDona01_af.nif contained The nif contains the ...

did you try Rick's fmt_gamebryo_nif.py?

For some models patching might be required but I get some oddities:

copy these lines into an H2O file:
0x0 500
Vb1
16 99
0x1D0AA 3175
020000
0x0 255

and toggle the 'noPtC' button to 'PtCld' (point cloud)

there's some interesting point cloud - not sure about the face indices:

I don't know.

btw: I would leave a forum where threads (that followed the forum rules) would be deleted I shared my knowledge in.

the mesh format is not too hard but will take some time to build the submeshes automatically
so you'll need to find someone willing to do it

It's not a matter of winding - guess you've to adjust the face indices' starting address for the "head" submesh:

thx. Seems to work - I used texconv, forcing a dx10 header: (texconv -w 1760 -h 972 -f BC7_UNORM -dx10 textmaker_Noe.png) BC7_UN-test.jpg Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 0000 44 44 53 20 7C 00 00 00 07 10 0A 00 CC 03 00 00 DDS |.......Ì... 0010 E0 06 00 00 80 1A 1A 00 01 00 00 00 0B 00 00 00 ...

I'm too busy with other coding atm than to solve this but I guess it should use a DX11 dds header. Maybe search for "BC7" in this forum, too. gregkwaste's dds in his post as of Sat Sep 13, 2014 is BC 5 compressed: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=10973 Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...

the tool doesn't use a header, just the format.
Creating headers will be the next feature.
If you have any BC7 UN dds you could try copy and paste its header
and adjust width and height values.

I wish there were some native C# or .Net functions that could convert shorts to half floats. I'm beating my head against the wall trying to get good values out of these 2 byte structures. why not use a library? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21660365/reading-half-floats-into-array How do you do...

it's just half floats (20 3C ignored)

with some imagination you could recognize the outline of a 90° clock wise rotated face
but it's not uvs:
