Put it in a text file, save it with the extension .bat, put it in a folder that contains all the ftex and ftexs files, put FtexUnpacker.exe in that folder as well, then run the bat. Just tried it, you'll get a few zpipe errors, press enter to skip those I'll look into them some other time, doesn't s...

Ok cool, I always assume I've done something wrong if it doesn't work for someone :p hm I didn't think of taking multiple files, but I guess you can just make a batch file like the following for now;

can you pm me the dds file please, I'll have a look, thanks.

Yeah you're right, it's the Alpha map, mixed with an AO Map and the Spec Map on the r, g and b layers. Nice trick.

I thought I'd do my bit and made an ftex extractor, let me know if there are any problems with it. The colour seems off on some textures so I'm not sure if they're lightly encrypted or it's just a map I don't know about. The tool will create DDS files, just drag an 'ftex' on the executable, also mak...

I don't know the name of the algorythm (and it probably doesn't have one) but here's the code I have reversed from MGS 3 a long time ago. Same code was used for MGS 2 and MGS 4 as well. int CHashMGS::GetIDFromString(char *str) { int hash = 0; for (; *str; str++) { int v1 = hash >> 19; int v0 = hash...

That's just a WMV file they'll do the same stupid shit they always do. rip models and textures, rip sounds, translate to another language. what "modding" comes down to these days Well I've modded new maps in metal gear online and such, there's a lot that can be done with metal gear games, ...

Lot of progress since I last checked in, keep up the good work Hugo

Congrats on seeing it through for so long Mr Mouse, here's to 25 more years :p

This is one of the best projects i've seen on Xentax, keep it up.

Glad to see an update from you, the progress you've made on your tool is really amazing, it looks very well constructed. Keep it up and good luck.

Great work, is Mogre any good?

Thanks for the samples, using unluac I can get an output. The size of the lua file is the long behind the .LuaQ magic. Save it as its own file and run unluac on it. Not sure how accurate the output is, but it looks as it should be. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6871888/b2slua.png https://dl.dr...

Did you try deleting everything up to .LuaQ and then running luadec on it? Do you mind sending me a sample.

I've attached a Maxscript which can be used to import the .cmdl extension that both MGS3 and MGS2 on the HD Collection use. It imports the models with some flipped faces so you'll have to select all the polygons and unify them. It has support for UV's however the models aren't split into separate ob...
