But still, that's good. Now we know it's at least possible to convert hkx files to a useable format.

That's known since ages.
What we don't know is how to uncompress hkaSplineCompressedAnimations.

Due to a user's request I've checked another model (c_0216): c_0216.JPG You'll have to find the correct border between submeshes for yourself. (remember that hex2obj creates submeshes every 500 faces. But the real borders are different, maybe stored in the format.) It's not too hard for this model. ...

give it a header such like this: Something is wrong, so it won't load normally. You'll have to use a tool like DXTBmp for example.
Or correct the header.

speaking of which?
Does it support hkaSplineCompressedAnimation?

Who can solve this problem? Thanks.

Have you tried Make_H2O.exe from the post as of Apr 20, 2015 8:50 pm ?

It seems that the UVs are Half Float but the Mesh is Short All. Aaaaaaaaargh, yeah, I always forget about that. Any way to do this with hex2obj? save the mesh in two ways, first as ShortAll then as HF_UV (or HF_all). In the first obj do a replacement of 'vt' by '#vt'. In the (HF_UV) obj do a replac...

[..] each of the files should have pieces that can be used to construct the full LA City... the only issue for me is that I don't know how to access the files and extract the information. which is why I came here :) This will require some fiddeling. I showed you what I could find in a 5 minutes job...

ok, then you'd to do it manually by dividing the texture up into a lower and an upper part for example and treat them seperately: Guess this would be easier if you found submeshes (not the ones created automatically every 500 faces by hex2obj).

(btw: you really should update to the latest version of hex2obj ) Would there be any way to get the models and fix these errors or would I just have to manually fix them? Don't think it's an error. It's just a matter of scaling. You can do that using a python script (blender 2.69 or higher). For the...

hmm... any way to access it? like, load it into 3DS Max?

what do you want to achieve?
You can display the maps as point clouds using hex2obj.
Afaik the 3DSmax obj exporter doesn't like obj files without face indices.

test.mgd looks like a huge map file:

I am yet to determine how length of data2 is calculated (based on the variable list maybe?) this "data2" block seems to contain a bunch of string table indices which are used to define/group variables/datatypes maybe like this: width Uint32 (textureGroup?) height Uint32 (textureGroup?) TC...

[..] but do you plan any way to let us import whatever bike we need? Like a small tutorial to get the H20s files by looking in the .bin. that would require a deeper (time consuming) understanding of the file format (other than the more or less blind scan that I invoked). Maybe I'll give it another ...

Thanks in advance

My solution is a modified DDSWithoutD3DX11.exe (D3D SDK) but it can't add headers atm (button Sxxx without function) so it won't help you.

Here's a modified xbm file from the blob.bundle:
