try to get point clouds:

i find your post http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11819 you can tell me how to use that? please be more specific. (Do you have basic knowledges in maxscripting?) First of all we would need the model format of your ltb. Should not be too hard to find that out. Maybe it's the same as ...

did you have a closer look at the *.ltb?

Here's bruno.ltb in hex2obj: Should not be too hard to make an ltb maxscript importer with some basic ms knowledge.
But bruno.ltb is from 2006.

Oh, I just want to write thanks to you, because without you we wouldn't get so far with this. Thank you shakotay2! :) you're welcome. Always nice to see people making senseful use of hex2obj (seems there are not too many :) ). For the face indices you might have a look at a smaller object like a ch...

you could upload an spr sample from the free demo to improve chances that someone will look at.

try Texturefinder. But you must care for the correct palette

In tutorial, you're dividing it by 2, maybe this face has more size than WORD. yes, "face indices" (not "faces") can be DWORDs (or even bytes in some rare cases). Looks like I found it, but this giant numbers inside are making the max vertex index go great also. I can do manuall...

thx, I have that viewer on my harddrive, even a newer version (v.104b) but seems I've forgotten it
(rare to no use because I don't have a console ).

This is totally other "alphabet" thing. Could you help me some more with this? face indices as a continous scrambled alphabet is the simple version. They also maybe appear like this: Offset 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F ..007500 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...

the places where you assume objects to start reveal some patterns: a0stg105.JPG First I thought of vertex blocks with a size of 24 bytes and face indices contained, but they are to regular: (0x51EE: cnt= 20) 51f4: 1 21 2 22 520c: 2 22 3 23 5224: 3 23 4 24 523c: 4 24 5 25 5254: 5 25 6 26 526c: 6 26 7...

the jsons contain plain ASCII. Not too hard to code an ASCII-json to obj converter on your own. "faces": [[ 0 ,1 ,2],[ 1 ,34 ,50],[ 34 ,35 ,36], "vertices": [ -623.377,7.41711,252.529, "normals": [ -0.898899,0.00128903,0.438153, "tangents": [ -0.0722054,-0.986...

format description from cra0 (thx :) ) makes sense ( GUIIcon_NOMIP.tex ): GUIIcon_NOMIP.tex.JPG though I feel I'm missing something. This is the header: Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 00000 54 45 58 00 9D 20 00 20 01 40 00 08 01 28 01 00 TEX where the texture type is given at 0x0D: 0x28
